Which fees and surcharges should I ask about?
Local crews often charge from the moment they leave their dispatch office, not from your doorstep, so travel time both ways can appear on the final bill. Ask for a binding not-to-exceed estimate in writing; a non-binding estimate may climb if the move takes longer. Stairs, tight doorways, and heavy items such as pianos or safes can add surcharges. Movers cannot transport hazardous materials, propane tanks, paint, bleach, or aerosol cans. Tips are not required, but $20–$40 per mover for a half-day and $50–$100 per mover for a full day are standard.
How can I confirm a mover is legitimate in Pennsylvania?
For moves inside Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC) regulates intrastate carriers. Request an active PA PUC certificate number to verify insurance and standing before you book.

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 Montgomery County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
