Travel time and hourly minimums
Ask whether the clock starts at the warehouse or at your door, and whether there is a minimum billable block. Crews may bill the drive from the yard to Gilberts and back, which turns a quoted hourly rate into a larger final charge.
Liability gaps
Illinois Commerce Commission movers can cover goods at just $0.30 per pound per article. That leaves furniture and electronics underinsured, so ask what full-value protection costs before booking.
Peak scheduling
End-of-month, summer, and Saturday moves in the Chicagoland/Kane County area can raise hourly pricing or add delay. Ask if a mid-week or mid-month date changes the rate.
Unpacked rooms
When the crew has to pack drawers, clothes, or electronics on site, you pay professional movers $180+ per hour for work you could finish ahead. Disconnect TVs and appliances before they arrive.

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 Kane County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 21% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
