Protect your move
- Confirm when the hourly clock starts and stops; some crews charge from departure, not arrival.
- Basic released-value coverage is $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 TV would be covered for only $18. Ask about full-value protection or check your own policy.
- Hazardous or restricted items—propane tanks, open chemical containers, aerosols, bleach, and plants on long-distance moves—generally cannot go on the truck.
- Tipping is commonly $4 to $6 for each mover per hour; for a demanding job, a 15 to 20 percent split among the crew is also typical. Cash is preferred.
- Check that the mover is licensed for Pennsylvania moves before booking.
- Walk through the new home before signing the completion paperwork.

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 Carbon County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 35% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
