Fees and Coverage to Check
A standard travel fee, often equal to about an hour of labor, covers the crew's drive from their warehouse to your starting address and back -- ask how it is calculated before booking. Summer rain is common, so confirm the crew brings heavy-duty shrink-wrap for furniture and mattresses. Margate's condo associations and HOAs often restrict truck hours and parking, and a blocked lane can mean fines or wasted hourly time. Verify the company's USDOT number through FMCSA for interstate moves, or its FDACS registration for in-state ones. Basic liability covers just $0.60 per pound per item, so a $1,000 TV at 30 pounds nets only $18 if dropped. Budget $4 to $5 per hour per mover for tipping, or 15% to 20% of the total bill.

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 Broward County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 10% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
