Local pricing in Morton
Local moves under 100 miles are usually billed by the hour, with the crew size shaping the rate. Labor-only loading or unloading costs less than a full-service move. If you are leaving Illinois, pricing moves to weight, volume, and mileage rather than an hourly crew rate.
| Move type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Labor-only hourly rate | $75–$80 per hour |
| Labor-only total job | $320–$670 |
| Full-service, 2 bedrooms | $900–$1,400 |
| Full-service, 3–4 bedrooms | $2,200–$4,000 |
| Full-service, 5+ bedrooms | $4,000–$6,200+ |
Cost-control questions to ask
- Ask exactly when the clock starts: a crew driving from Peoria or Bloomington may bill for travel time to and from Morton.
- Mention pianos, safes, pool tables, and large solid-wood pieces up front because these often add a $150–$400+ surcharge.
- Basic carrier liability is often $0.60 per pound per item, meaning a 30-pound $1,000 TV could be covered for only $18; ask about full-value protection or your own insurance.
- For May–August moves, book 4–6 weeks ahead. In winter, clear snow and ice so crews can safely carry heavy items.

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 Tazewell County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 39% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
