Renting your own truck and hiring loading help instead runs roughly $75 to $130 an hour depending on crew size. Most companies also add a travel charge equal to about an hour of labor just to reach your door, on top of a two- or three-hour minimum booking. Because the village borders Chicago, tight parking and street-sweeping rules are common, and a truck that cannot park close to the entrance may trigger a long-carry fee. Confirming a mover's Illinois Commerce Commission registration before booking is the simplest way to avoid an unlicensed operator holding your belongings hostage. Always ask whether a quote already covers stairs, a bulky item like a piano or safe, and fuel — some low hourly rates leave these off and add them back as separate line items. Walking through every closet, garage, and storage space before your estimate also helps prevent a jump in the day-of rate if the crew shows up to far more boxes than expected.

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.
