Do country roads in Otis trigger extra fees?
Winding lanes, extended driveways and steep slopes can keep a large truck from the doorstep. That situation brings added shuttle or long-carry charges.
Should I insist on a binding quote and check licenses?
A binding or not-to-exceed estimate legally prevents any overcharge at delivery. Local work is priced hourly; longer hauls go by weight and miles, so confirm the basis before you sign. Intrastate Massachusetts movers have to hold a license issued by the Massachusetts Department of Public Utilities.
How do I lower the rate and what cannot go on the truck?
Choosing mid-month, a Tuesday to Thursday, or late fall through winter cuts the hourly charge. Leave propane tanks, paint, chemicals and aerosols at the old address; they are prohibited.

Otis refills from a distance: nearby counties pull households out, and the rest of the country only partly replaces them. Head count stayed flat all the same — arriving households are smaller (1.56 people on average) than the ones leaving (1.45), so the city gained homes without gaining residents.
Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.
Households arriving from another state report $103,568 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Massachusetts report $91,365. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.
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 Berkshire County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 56% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
