Parkton's rural roads are the local twist to watch for: narrow lanes, low branches and long private driveways can keep a full-size 26-foot truck from reaching your door. Mention your exact street layout when you request a quote, or you risk an unplanned shuttle fee for transferring items to a smaller vehicle.
Beyond that, the biggest pitfall is accepting a vague phone estimate. Ask for a binding or binding not-to-exceed quote, which caps what the company can legally charge on moving day. Verify their US DOT number and insurance through the FMCSA before you sign anything.
Pack a clear tote with essentials, chargers, toiletries, a change of clothes, and keep it in your own car rather than buried in the truck. For tipping, plan on roughly $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day of work.

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 Baltimore County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
