Fees and rules that catch people off guard
Travel time is a legal charge in Illinois, not just fuel. Some movers bill it as a flat fee; others add 1 to 2 hours of hourly time for the warehouse-to-Burr Ridge round trip. Ask before you book.
Townhome and condo boards in Burr Ridge often require a Certificate of Insurance before a truck can enter the property. Some also limit moving hours or require elevator padding, so check early to avoid a stopped move.
Basic carrier liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item. A 30-pound, $2,000 television would pay $18 under that formula. Full Value Protection offers stronger coverage if the items matter.
Access can also add fees. A long gravel driveway, steep hill, or third-floor walk-up may trigger long-carry or stair charges based on the distance from the front door to the parked truck.
Tipping is customary but not required. A common guide is $20-$50 per mover or 5%-20% of the total bill, split among the crew according to 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 DuPage County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
