Most companies set a two- to three-hour minimum, so a job finishing sooner still bills the full block. Travel from the company base to the pickup and return from the drop-off often adds billed time, with some Massachusetts operators using a double-drive-time method. Extra time or fees can arise from stairs in third-floor walk-ups, steep driveways, or long carries between the door and the truck, as well as from pianos, heavy safes, or narrow hallways. Basic liability covers $0.60 per pound per article; a $1,000 television that weighs 30 lbs would therefore be reimbursed at $18. Full value protection is an optional upgrade. Quotes should rest on a full inventory rather than a phone description, since missed boxes or garage contents can extend the hours.

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 Middlesex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 9% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
