Fees and surcharges to confirm
These add-ons and planning rules often change the final cost of a Plainedge move.
| Fee or factor | What to expect |
|---|---|
| Travel time | New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) rules allow a "travel time" or "double drive time" fee, covering the trip from the warehouse to Plainedge and the return to base. |
| Parking and street restrictions | Narrow residential streets or spots near Hicksville Road or Jerusalem Avenue may complicate a 26-foot truck; check for a temporary town permit and alert neighbors. |
| Binding not-to-exceed estimate | A written cap keeps the mover from charging above the estimate unless you add extra items to the inventory at the last minute. |
| Crew tips | Not legally required, but customary at roughly $20 – $40 per mover for a standard local move, more for heavy lifting or bad weather. |
| Valuation coverage | Basic carrier liability is usually 60 cents per pound per article; a $1,000 television would return about $18 if damaged. Ask about Full Value Protection or check your own insurance. |

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 Nassau County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 10% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
