Charges Worth Asking About
New Jersey law lets movers bill roughly an hour of travel time to cover the drive from their base to your address and back. Stairs, long hallways, or a truck that can't park close to the door often trigger an added fee, so flag those obstacles when you book. Buildings under management typically require a certificate of insurance, and it's worth asking whether your mover charges extra to issue one. Basic liability covers only 60 cents per pound per item, so a 40-pound, $1,000 television is worth just $24 in a claim. Cash tips of $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day job, or $50 or more for a full day, are customary though not required.

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.
