Rules that catch people off guard
- On hourly jobs, the clock often starts when the crew arrives and runs until the final item is unloaded. Many companies also add a travel fee or double drive time, so ask how that's calculated.
- Illinois intrastate movers are regulated by the Illinois Commerce Commission. Confirm the mover's ICC MC number and check it in the state database.
- Basic Released Value Protection is free but covers only $0.60 per pound per item. A 30-pound TV worth $1,000 would legally pay just $18, so consider Full Value Protection or your own policy.
- Hillside has tight residential streets and condo rules. If a truck has to block a lane or a loading dock window isn't reserved, waiting time falls on your dime.
Extra fees to watch for
- Stair fees after the first flight.
- Long-carry fees when the truck can't park within about 75 feet of your entrance.
- Surcharges for pianos, large hot tubs, or oversized armoires.

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.
