Licensing and estimates
A company handling moves entirely inside New York State needs a state transportation permit, not just a federal DOT number, so it is worth confirming before you book. Ask for a binding not-to-exceed estimate as well, so the final bill cannot climb past the quote even if the job runs long.
Local logistics
Narrow residential streets here sometimes call for a temporary curb clearance from the town before a truck can park to load. Be wary of any company asking for a large cash deposit before service day, and if your calendar is flexible, a weekday move mid-month tends to land a lower rate than a weekend or month-end slot.
Tipping runs about $20 to $40 per crew member for a half-day job, and $50 or more per mover for a long, full-day move.

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.
