Fees and Details Worth Checking
- Confirm when the billing clock starts and stops. Some companies charge travel or double-drive time for the trip from the warehouse to your address and back.
- Declare items over 300 pounds before moving day. Safes, pianos, and oversized tubs are often left out of standard hourly quotes.
- Basic valuation coverage is minimal—typically $0.60 per pound per article. A 20-pound television worth $1,000 could leave only $12 owed if damaged, so full value protection may be worth considering.
- Tipping is customary but not mandatory. Plan for roughly $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or $20 to $40 per person for a half-day or full-day job.
- Montgomery's suburban streets, HOA rules, and apartment parking restrictions can force a truck to park farther away, adding labor time. Share any parking constraints with the moving crew in advance.

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.
