Ask exactly how travel time is billed — many crews start the clock when they leave their depot, not when they reach your door. Confirm whether basic supplies like shrink-wrap and blankets are included in the hourly rate. Movers can't legally load propane tanks, live plants, opened chemicals, or ammunition, so plan to carry those yourself, along with cash, jewelry, medication, and important documents. Sloping driveways and gravel roads are common locally, so ask about shuttle fees if a truck can't reach your door directly.
Getting at least a few written estimates before you sign anything is worth the extra time — it gives you a real comparison instead of relying on one company's word for what the job should cost.

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 Cherokee County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 45% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
