What the fine print hides
- Travel billing: state rules let movers charge for driving from their warehouse to you and double the drive between your two homes, so a company based near Montclair keeps this cost small.
- Licensing: verify a valid CAL-T number and cargo insurance rather than trusting star ratings alone.
- Access fees: long hallways, steep stairs, or an elevator that needs reserving can trigger stair or long-carry charges if they surface only on moving day - disclose them early.
- Timing: May through September and month-ends command peak pricing, while a mid-week, mid-month slot can cut rates by 15% - 25%.
- First-night box: keep medications, chargers, toiletries, basic tools and paperwork in your own car, since delivery can occasionally lag even on local jobs.

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 San Bernardino County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 11% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
