Where movers trip you up
- Acadiana heat slows crews down in summer — booking a 7 or 8 a.m. start keeps the job moving faster and cheaper.
- Ask whether a trip fee for the drive to and from your home is capped or billed twice.
- Basic liability pays about $0.60 per pound per item — a 30-pound, $2,000 TV nets only $18 if it's dropped.
- Tight driveways or narrow subdivision streets can trigger a long-carry or stair fee if not disclosed upfront.
Pack medications, chargers, and a change of clothes separately so they don't end up buried in the truck. For local options, see the movers below.

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 Lafayette Parish rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
