Fees Worth Checking Before You Book
Sterling-area movers often add a round-trip travel or mileage line from their dispatch facility to your address and back. Ask when the clock starts—leaving the shop or arriving at your door—and whether employee lunch breaks are paid. A minimum of 2 to 3 hours is standard for many companies, though some use a 1-hour minimum.
Local Factors That Change the Quote
- Rural mileage: Moving outside Sterling into Logan County acreage, or arriving from a larger nearby city, can add long-distance travel fees. Get the mileage calculation written into the estimate.
- Stairs and long carries: Tight staircases, steep hills, or a truck parked far from the entrance can produce stair-carry or long-carry fees. Mention these obstacles in advance.
- Discounts: Some regional providers offer reduced rates for seniors, educators, and nonprofit or military workers.
- Weather: Summer heat, wind, or winter snow squalls can disrupt move day. Confirm the crew brings floor protection like runners or blankets.

Sterling refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $48,005 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Colorado report $50,140. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Logan County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 66% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
