A few habits keep the bill down. Movers typically charge from the moment they leave their office until they are back, so ask exactly when that clock starts and stops — it is sometimes called a trip fee or double drive time. Booking mid-week or mid-month, rather than around the Missouri S&T move-in and move-out rush, tends to mean better availability and pricing. The coverage bundled into the base price is thin — often just $0.60 per pound per item — so ask about extra protection for anything valuable. Hazardous items like propane tanks or gasoline cannot legally go on the truck, so plan to move those yourself.
Packing a separate box with essentials — chargers, toiletries, paperwork — saves you from digging through everything on night one. See who is available in the local mover listings below.

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 Phelps County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 56% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
