Pricing and Terms for Oswego, IL Moves

In the Kendall and Kane County area, local moves are typically bid either as an hourly rate plus a truck charge or as a flat structural quote. A two-person crew with a truck generally bills $150 to $200 per hour across Illinois.

For labor-only loading or unloading, expect $75 to $95 per hour for each worker.

Estimate Ranges by Home Size

Home SizeEstimate RangeTypical Hours
Studio / 1-Bedroom$350 – $7002–3 hours
2–3 Bedrooms$700 – $1,8004–7 hours
4+ Bedrooms$1,800 – $3,500+8+ hours

Ask how travel time is billed. Illinois permits a travel-time charge, often equal to one labor hour, for the trip from the warehouse to the start and from the final stop back.

Binding or not-to-exceed estimates are safer than phone guesses. Request an in-home or detailed video walkthrough before agreeing.

Standard carrier liability covers $0.60 per pound per item. A broken 20-pound television provides $12 under that formula. Full Value Protection costs extra for higher-value loads.

Stairs, pianos, safes, and tight third-floor access can trigger added surcharges. Disclose these details before booking. End-of-month, weekend, and June through August moves often raise hourly rates. Midweek or mid-month dates tend to cost less.

Households arriving from another state report $72,249 in average annual income; those relocating from elsewhere in Illinois report $73,403. Long-distance arrivals are the higher-budget half of the market.

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 Kendall County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 26% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.

cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
