Charges That Catch People Off Guard
Bergen County traffic on Route 4 and Route 80 means movers often bill for drive time between their warehouse and your address, so ask whether that's already folded into the hourly clock. Insist on a binding or binding-not-to-exceed estimate in writing; a non-binding quote can legally jump 10% or more on delivery day. Basic liability coverage is capped at $0.60 per pound per item -- a broken 30-pound, $1,000 television would net just $18 -- so ask about full value protection if you own anything expensive. Narrow streets can also mean parking tickets if the truck isn't cleared with the borough in advance.

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 Bergen County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 11% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
