Fees that catch people off guard
- The hourly clock often includes travel time from the company's base to your home and back — ask exactly when it starts and stops
- Weekend, end-of-month, and peak-summer dates carry higher rates than a mid-month weekday
- Heavy or oversized items like pianos or safes often carry a separate flat fee, commonly $150 to $300
- Standard liability coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item — a 30-pound, $1,000 TV that breaks nets just $18 unless you buy extra protection

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 Prince George's 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.
