Baldwin County movers commonly add a travel or fuel charge covering the drive from their base to your starting address and back, so ask whether that's a flat fee or billed hourly. Certain items can't legally go on the truck at all, including propane tanks, paint, aerosols, bleach, and some houseplants, so plan to transport those yourself. Don't assume bed frames or large tables will be reassembled for free at the other end; confirm whether basic tool work is part of the hourly rate. Cash tips are customary too, generally $20 to $40 per mover, with the amount depending on whether the job runs a half day or stretches into a full one.

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 Baldwin County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 52% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
