What can push the price higher? An unusually heavy piece such as a piano or a big safe typically adds its own fee, and having the crew pack your boxes for you roughly doubles the labor time compared with loading boxes you already packed.
Knowing your home size ahead of time, and being upfront about any oversized items, is the fastest way to keep a quote close to what you actually pay on move day, rather than getting a surprise once the truck is already loaded.

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 Howard 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.
