Most companies apply a 2-hour minimum on every job, and expect extra charges for heavy specialty items like pianos or safes, long carries from your door to the truck, or flights of stairs.
A labor-only option also exists if you rent your own truck and just need help loading and unloading — going this route can shave up to 30% off the overhead cost of a traditional full-service move, since you are not paying for a company truck or its fuel.
When comparing quotes, ask whether the 2-hour minimum and any travel fee are already built into the number you were given, or added on afterward — that is usually where the final bill drifts furthest from the first estimate.

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 Spartanburg County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 35% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
