Fees and timing worth checking
- Ask how travel time is calculated. Some movers use a double drive-time rule, billing for the trip from the warehouse to your home and then again for the return.
- Summer months, especially July, and month-end weekends book up early and usually cost more. Mid-month or Tuesday-to-Thursday jobs can reduce the total by 20% to 30%.
- Basic carrier liability is often included but may only cover $0.60 per pound. A 20-pound $1,000 television, for example, could result in a $12 payout if broken. Ask about full-value protection.
- Movers generally cannot transport propane tanks, aerosols, hazardous materials, open cleaning-fluid bottles, or perishable food. Use or dispose of these before moving day.
- Tipping is not required but is customary: $20 to $50 per mover for a local half-day or full-day job, or roughly 5% to 20% of the total split among the crew based on difficulty.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Lake County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
