What Adds to the Bill
- Heavy items, long carries from the door to the truck, and stairs often bring separate charges
- Many local crews bill for drive time between their shop and both ends of the move, not just the time on-site
- Basic coverage pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so ask about full-value protection for anything pricier
- Cash tips of $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15 to 20 percent of the bill, are standard for a crew that handles things carefully
Packing a separate box of essentials to load last, and keeping medications and documents with you, makes the first night easier. The directory below is a solid next step for comparing local crews.

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 Independence County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 54% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
