Local Factors to Plan Around
Steep, winding roads near the Ohio River can keep a full-size semi from reaching a driveway, so a smaller shuttle truck may be needed — describe your street layout when you request pricing. Basic coverage is limited: a $1,000 television weighing 30 pounds would only be reimbursed $18 under standard liability, so ask about full value protection for anything you'd hate to lose. Many companies also add a travel or fuel surcharge covering the trip from their depot to your door and back, so confirm whether that's already baked into your hourly rate. Booking mid-week and mid-month, away from the June-through-August rush, tends to bring both lower rates and more open scheduling. Pack a separate bag with chargers, medication, and a change of clothes, since it's easy to lose track of a single box among dozens that look alike.

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 Hancock County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 37% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
