What extra fees should I expect?

How do I avoid surprises?
Get a written binding estimate rather than a verbal quote, and confirm the mover's Connecticut or US DOT registration through the FMCSA's SaferSys tool. Pack a first-night box with essentials in your own car, and budget a tip of roughly $20-$40 for each mover on a half-day job, rising to $40-$60+ on a full one.

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 Capitol Planning Region rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 20% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
