Ask whether your quote is binding, meaning the price is fixed to an inventory list, or non-binding, meaning it can rise if the job runs long.
Local Timing Matters
The university's move-in weekend in late August and graduation weekend in mid-May both squeeze the local market — rates climb and trucks get scarce, so a mid-month, mid-week date is easier to book. Between November and March, icy roads and steep rural driveways can slow a heavy truck, so confirm your mover has cold-weather experience.
Movers generally won't disconnect gas lines or mount TVs, and an inaccurate box count can throw off both time and cost — handle these details ahead of time.

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 Latah County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 58% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
