Minimums and surcharges
Most local crews charge a 2- to 3-hour minimum, so a one-bedroom load that takes 45 minutes still pays for the full block plus travel time. Ask whether your Crestwood street or building requires a parking permit, and watch for long carry charges, stair or elevator fees, and heavy-item surcharges for pianos or safes.
Coverage and cash tips
Basic carrier liability is included at no charge in estimates but reimburses only about $0.60 per pound per item. A 10-pound TV valued at $500 would return just $6, so fragile or expensive pieces may need Full Value Protection.
In winter or a wet spring around Chicago, protect floors with plastic or old rugs; crews are rarely held responsible for tracked-in mud or damp hallways unless gross negligence was involved. For cash tips, plan on $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day and $50 or more per mover for a long full day.

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 Cook County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 8% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
