Before You Sign
Ask whether your estimate is binding or non-binding - a non-binding quote can legally increase if the job runs past the estimated time. Some companies also start the hourly clock when the truck leaves their own office rather than when it arrives at your home, so confirm their travel-time policy. Taking apart bed frames, disconnecting appliances, and bundling loose cords ahead of time can save real money on an hourly bill. Pack chargers, toiletries, and bedding into your own car rather than letting the crew handle loose items, since that eats billable time too. Some local companies also add a one-time service or mileage fee to cover the trip to and from their base, separate from the hourly labor rate, so ask about it when you get a quote. Tipping scales with how the crew handles a hard job, and the table above breaks down what's typical for a half day versus a 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 Marshall County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 38% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
