| Home Size | Typical Crew & Time | Price Range |
|---|---|---|

The truck and crew together typically bill $120 to $200 or more each hour. Most companies also add a travel charge worth one to two hours of labor before the clock starts at your door, so confirm how that gets calculated. Ask for a binding, not-to-exceed estimate instead of a verbal guess, since a non-binding number can grow once the job runs long. Cash tips of $40 to $50 per mover are standard for a half-day job, rising to $80 to $100 or more per mover on a full-day move, and it is worth confirming a company's Illinois Commerce Commission registration before you book. Expect an extra charge per flight of stairs, and a long-carry fee if the crew has to haul boxes a significant distance from the door to the truck.

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.
