Before you book, check these
- Minimum hours: nearly every local mover enforces a two-hour minimum, even for a 45-minute studio job.
- Peak-season pricing: expect 20% to 30% more from May through September or right around month-end.
- Travel fees: ask whether the hourly clock starts at your door or back at the company's garage.
- Accurate inventory: don't hide items in the attic or garage on a phone estimate, since a heavier truck on moving day means a bigger bill.
- Appliance hookups: crews generally won't touch plumbing or gas lines, so unhooking a washer or stove yourself avoids an extra charge or a flat refusal.

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 Jessamine County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 41% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
