Long-distance pricing is weight- and distance-based, with small-apartment loads starting around $1,200 and large interstate moves exceeding $10,000.
Local price benchmarks
| Local move size | Typical price range | Usual time on site |

Fees to settle before booking
- Ask about shuttle fees in advance. Estate-style streets, gated entries, long driveways, or HOA rules can block a semi-truck, and the crew may charge extra to transfer items to a smaller vehicle.
- Insist on a binding or not-to-exceed written estimate. A non-binding quote can rise on move day if the mover says time, stairs, or weight ran high.
- Compare valuation coverage carefully. Basic Illinois liability is $0.60 per pound per article, so a damaged 30-pound, $2,000 television would be covered for only $18. Higher-value electronics and furniture usually justify Full Value Protection.
- Move mid-week and mid-month when possible. Summer, month-end, and weekend bookings can push hourly rates 20% to 30% higher.

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 Lake County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 23% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
