Fees worth asking about
Some companies start billing the moment the truck leaves their warehouse and keep the clock running until it returns, which can add an unbudgeted hour or two in a spread-out area. If the truck can't park next to your door — common in gated communities or tight townhome layouts — or if there are multiple flights of stairs, expect an added charge per item or per flight. Moving between May and September, or on a Saturday, typically adds 20% to 30% to the price.
Protecting your belongings
Basic included coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a damaged $2,000 television would net only a small fraction of its value — ask about full value protection if you own anything expensive. It's customary to tip $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15% to 20% of the total bill split among the crew, so keep cash on hand for moving 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 Fulton County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 9% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
