Murray State's move-in and move-out weeks, early August and mid-May, tighten truck and storage availability near campus, so book ahead if your date lands in that window. Movers are barred from hauling chemicals, propane, fertilizer, open alcohol, or perishables, so plan to carry those yourself. A gun safe, an upright piano, or a pool table often calls for extra hands or gear, so mention it before quote day rather than on move day. Basic carrier liability tops out at $0.60 per pound per item, which is why owners of pricier electronics or heirlooms usually add separate coverage. On Murray's tighter residential streets, claim curb space near your door the night before — a long carry from house to truck adds hours to an hourly bill.

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 Calloway County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 62% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
