| Labor only | $77.41/hour | Loading or unloading help for a truck or portable container, or rearranging furniture |
| Standard labor job | $327.20–$634.33 | Common total for a small-to-medium labor-only booking |
| Full-service local move | $300–$1,500+ | Local relocation with driver, crew, and truck |
Before you book
- Standard quotes often include only 60 cents per pound per item in carrier liability. A $1,000 television that weighs 20 pounds would pay out $12 if it were destroyed.
- Very cheap phone quotes without a walkthrough can turn into surprise charges on moving day.
- Ask about access fees if the truck cannot park close, or if there are narrow streets, steep stairs, long carries, or low tree branches.
- Request a binding not-to-exceed estimate so the final price cannot climb later.
- For an intrastate move within Illinois, verify the mover’s licensing and insurance status with the Illinois Commerce Commission.

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 McHenry County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 27% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
