Things That Change the Bill
Nearly every crew enforces a two-hour minimum plus a separate charge to get the truck to your door and back, so ask whether that travel window counts as full labor time. Booking in the thick of summer can push the total noticeably higher than a fall or winter date, and picking a weekday in the middle of the month tends to land cheaper. Movers are barred from hauling things like propane, weed killer, open liquor, or aerosol cans, so pull those out of the garage before crews show up or your schedule slips. Taking apart bed frames, sectionals, or pressboard furniture is not always included -- confirm in writing whether that work is free. Anyone hired for a move that crosses county lines should carry a household-goods permit through the state utilities commission, so ask to see it before signing anything. A written estimate from an in-person or video walkthrough holds up far better than a number given over the phone.

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 Mesa County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 52% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
