What to Check Before Booking a Bradley, IL Move
Local and long-distance pricing work differently, so confirm these points before you sign anything.
- Local crew rates: expect about $150 to $200 per hour for a two-to-three-person crew and truck on moves under 50 miles.
- Home size estimate: a studio or one-bedroom typically runs $500 to $1,100; a two-to-three-bedroom runs $1,000 to $2,200; a four-to-five-bedroom runs $2,100 to $3,500+.
- Labor-only pricing: if you supply your own truck or container, plan on roughly $80 to $90 for each mover hourly, with typical full jobs from $320 to $670.
- Binding estimate: request a written not-to-exceed quote; a non-binding estimate can legally rise by 20% or more at delivery.
- License status: confirm the mover carries a current Illinois Commerce Commission (ILCC) or USDOT number for intrastate moves.
- Valuation coverage: standard liability pays only $0.60 per pound per item, so a 30-pound TV could mean only $18; request Full Value Protection.
- Fee add-ons: heavy items, stairs, long carries, packing materials, and travel or fuel fees often raise the quote; many local crews add a travel fee equal to one hour of labor, so get the full list upfront.
- Prohibited items: propane tanks, cleaning chemicals, fire extinguishers, open alcohol, and sometimes house plants cannot go on the truck; keep documents, medications, chargers, and first-night clothes with you.

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 Kankakee County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 43% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
