Snowbird season, roughly January through April, brings heavy traffic on corridors like Colonial Boulevard and Daniels Parkway, which slows hourly-rate crews down and adds to your bill. Late spring through summer, or an early morning start, tends to run cheaper. Ask upfront whether stairs, long carries, heavy items, and travel or fuel surcharges are already folded into your quote.
If you're heading into a gated community or HOA, check their rules about a week ahead: many require a certificate of insurance from your mover before letting a truck through the gate or reserving the elevator. Confirm the company's FDACS registration for in-state moves, or their USDOT number if you're crossing state lines.

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 Lee County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 24% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
