Before booking, ask for a binding or not-to-exceed estimate so the final price can't legally climb above the quote, and confirm the company is registered with Michigan's transportation authority. Rates jump during the last and first few days of each month, so a mid-week, mid-month booking tends to run cheaper. Crews generally expect a tip of $20 to $40 per mover for a half-day job, or $50+ per mover for a longer full day.

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 Wayne County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 15% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
