Check these before you book
- Clock start and stop: some companies charge travel time or start billing when the crew leaves its facility and stop when the truck is back. Confirm exactly where and when the timer runs.
- Long walks and stairs: if the truck cannot park close to your Gates door, or you have several flights with no elevator, expect extra charges or a longer hourly job.
- Valuation: basic coverage is limited, often $0.60 per pound per item. Ask about Full Value Protection for TVs, electronics, or heirloom furniture.
- Hidden extras: tell the quote process about pianos, pool tables, oversized safes, and extra stairways because these can trigger add-on charges.
- Tipping: crew tips often run $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or about 15%–20% of the total split among the team, depending on heat, stairs, and heavy lifting.

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 Saratoga County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 30% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
