Before you book
Ask about access fees. If a complex or narrow Aurora street prevents a semi from parking near your door, the crew may charge a long-carry fee. Stairs and heavy or awkward items such as pianos and safes often add surcharges, so be specific about your layout.
Peak season runs from May through September, and month-end or month-start moves can be pricier and harder to schedule. A winter storm or icy snap can slow an hourly job, which adds paid time.
Verify credentials for interstate and local moves. Interstate movers should have an active FMCSA registration; local movers can be checked with the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. Basic liability is often only $0.60 per pound per article, so a 10-pound, $1,000 television might yield $6 if broken. Ask about Full Value Protection.
Keep medications, chargers, tools, toiletries, and key documents in your car rather than on the truck so you can reach them quickly after unloading.

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 Arapahoe County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 16% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
