Before you book
- Ask for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate so the final bill can't run over the quote.
- Clarify whether a travel or service fee is added for the drive to and from your address.
- Basic liability covers only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound, $1,000 television is covered for just $18 unless you add full value protection.
Local details
Berkley's narrow residential streets can be tight for a large truck, so tell your crew in advance where they plan to park. Pack a clear bin with essentials for the first night, and walk through both homes with the crew lead to note any existing damage before anything gets loaded.

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 Oakland County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 14% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
