Details That Affect Your Bill
Almost every local company enforces a two-hour minimum, even for a quick one-bedroom job. Standard liability coverage pays out at $0.60 per pound per item, so a 50-pound television worth $500 is only covered for about $30 if it's dropped. Carrying items over 100 feet from your door to the truck, or navigating a tight third-floor walkup without an elevator, slows the crew and adds billed hours — clear the path ahead of time. Some companies also charge a separate trip fee to cover driving the truck from their depot to your home and back, so ask for an itemized breakdown. Having everything boxed and ready before the crew arrives keeps the clock from running on packing time instead of moving.

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 Black Hawk County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 50% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
