Questions that expose the real cost
Long carry and floor access fees
Apartments, townhomes, and gated communities with tight parking or long walkways often trigger extra long carry, stair, or elevator line items. Ask for a written list of access charges tied to your address before the crew arrives.
Travel time and hour minimums
California allows a travel fee often equal to one hour of labor for the trip from the warehouse to your home and back. Ask whether that fee is already included in the hourly quote or added on top of a required minimum.
Basic liability gap
Basic coverage commonly pays $0.60 per pound per item, so a $1,000 television that weighs 20 pounds could reimburse only $12 if broken. Ask how to increase valuation for electronics or fragile goods.
Tipping expectations
Tips are not legally required, but customary ranges are $20 - $40 per mover for a half-day and $50 - $100+ per mover for a full-day. Ask whether to pay in cash or include gratuity on the final invoice.
Permit check
California requires intrastate movers to hold a CAL PUC (Max4) permit and supply Important Information for Persons Moving Household Goods. Ask for the permit number before signing.

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 Alameda 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.
