- A separate travel or trip fee — sometimes a flat charge equal to an hour of labor, sometimes based on mileage — covers the drive from the company base to your door and back
- University City narrow residential streets and historic courtyards can block a full-size truck; ask if a smaller shuttle van is available and whether a temporary street permit is needed
- Skip phone-only quotes — insist on an in-home or virtual walkthrough and a binding, not-to-exceed estimate so the price cannot legally climb on moving day
- Movers cannot legally transport propane, other flammable materials, household chemicals, or houseplants that are open, and they will not cover cash, high-value jewelry, or heirlooms — keep anything irreplaceable with you
- Standard coverage is only $0.60 per pound per item by law, so a damaged 50-pound TV worth $1,000 nets about $30

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 St. Louis County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 18% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
