Fine Print Worth Reading
Dayton sits near Route 130, Route 1, and the Turnpike, so ask whether travel time runs from the movers' warehouse to your door and back, and when that clock starts. Get a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate in writing -- a non-binding quote can legally rise by 10% or more on move day.
Basic carrier liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 television is worth just $18 in a claim. If your condo or HOA requires a certificate of insurance, confirm your mover can issue one quickly.

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 Middlesex County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 12% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
