| 2 to 3-bedroom | $1,300 – $2,500 |
| Long-distance / interstate | $3,000 to $10,000+ |
A studio or one-bedroom move often takes 3–5 hours; a two- to three-bedroom move may run 6–9 hours. Interstate pricing shifts with shipment weight and total mileage.
Before You Book
Check whether an estimate is binding or non-binding. Without a written cap, the final amount can climb after the truck is weighed. Basic liability coverage is usually just $0.60 per pound per article; a damaged 20-pound, $1,000 TV would yield only $12 under that standard. Consider full-value protection or confirm your renters or homeowners policy covers items in transit.
Local crews may add a travel fee or fuel surcharge for time between the warehouse and your home in both directions. Ask how that amount is calculated before comparing prices. If the truck will block a street, alley, or fire lane, check Calumet City parking and street-occupancy permit rules; ticket costs often fall on the customer when space was not cleared.
Pack chargers, medication, documents, basic tools, and a change of clothes in a separate box that rides in your car. Interstate carriers can take days to deliver, and even local moves can leave essentials buried late at night.

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 Cook County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 8% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
