What Inflates the Hourly Bill
Billing often begins the instant the truck leaves its warehouse, so travel time is part of the charge. Heavy or awkward pieces such as pianos, gun safes, hot tubs and marble tabletops add surcharges when they appear on moving day. A flight of stairs or a long carry from the parked truck lengthens the job and raises the total. Greater volume of household goods or furniture that needs taking apart further extends the billed time.
Customary tips run $4 to $5 per mover per hour, about $20 per person after a half-day, or 15–20 percent for especially difficult work. The legally required released-value protection reimburses $0.60 per pound.
Staying near the bottom of these ranges requires asking exactly when the clock starts, naming every specialty item before the quote, and choosing labor-only service if you already have a truck lined up.

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 Butler County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
