Cost Factors You Can Control
- Book 6-8 weeks ahead for May-August and PCS season to avoid demand-driven rate increases.
- Ask about a $25-$75 per-flight stair surcharge and any long carry fee when the truck cannot reach the door.
- Standard valuation may only reimburse $0.60 per pound per item; Full Value Protection can cover high-value belongings.
- For PPM/DITY moves, keep certified empty and full weight tickets and verify the contract includes scale receipts.
- Tips are separate: $20-$50 per mover for a half-day local move or 5% to 20% of a complex job's total, split among the crew.

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 Jefferson County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 62% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
