Checklist before you book
- Ask how travel time is calculated, since it can add one to two hours to the bill.
- Get a binding or not-to-exceed estimate; a non-binding one can legally increase 10 to 25 percent on delivery.
- Verify the company is registered with the Michigan Public Service Commission or has a USDOT number.
- Disclose heavy items like a safe or piano upfront to avoid surcharges or a refusal to move them.
Tipping is customary though not required, figure roughly $4 to $6 per mover per hour, or 15 to 20 percent split among the crew depending on how demanding the job was.

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 Macomb County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 17% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
