If you're heading out of state
Crossing state lines changes the pricing model entirely: instead of an hourly rate, companies charge by the weight of your shipment and the miles it travels, so push for a written estimate built from an actual inventory rather than a phone guess.
One more thing to plan around
Crew size drives the bill as much as home size does, so giving an accurate room count when you request quotes keeps the estimate close to what you'll actually pay on move day. It also pays to ask whether a travel or fuel surcharge is already folded into the quoted hourly rate, since it's often billed separately.

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 New Castle County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 36% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
