Costs That Hide Until Moving Day
California's double-drive-time billing means the trip between the mover's base and your home - and back - can be charged at twice the drive time, so ask how travel is calculated. Declare heavy pieces like safes or pianos upfront; undisclosed bulky items bring steep surprise fees or outright refusal.
- Central Valley summers push past 100°F, so book the earliest morning slot for a faster, cheaper day.
- Free liability coverage pays $0.60 per pound per item; ask about Full Value Protection for anything valuable.
- Confirm an active CAL PUC / MTR license with the Bureau of Household Goods and Services.
- Budget tips of $4 to $6 per mover for each hour worked, or 15% - 20% of the bill split among the crew.

Each bar shows that state's in/out split — rows are ranked by total volume.

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 Solano County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
