Protect Your Budget
- Request a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate in writing; a standard non-binding figure can legally rise on moving day if weight comes in higher than expected.
- Confirm whether the hourly clock starts at your door or when the crew leaves its dispatch office.
- Disclose heavy or bulky items during the inventory walkthrough to avoid surprise surcharges later.
- Verify a mover’s registration and insurance status directly through the FMCSA Safer Database.
- June through September, weekends, and month-end dates carry premium pricing; a mid-week or mid-month slot can cut labor costs.
- Standard liability coverage often equals only $0.60 per pound per item, so carry electronics, documents, medications, and jewelry yourself.

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.
