When You Move Changes the Price
In Peru and the Illinois Valley, the same move can cost more or less depending on the calendar. Seasonal demand, weekend slots, and month-end deadlines all shift the rate, so timing matters as much as move size.
Peak Season and Month-End
Rates climb from May through September, on weekends, and in the final days of any month. Moving in those windows usually means paying a premium because demand is heaviest.
The Cheaper Window
A Tuesday or Wednesday near the middle of the month tends to deliver the lowest hourly pricing. If your schedule allows it, that midweek slot is the clearest way to reduce cost without cutting service.
Budget Figures by Move Type
| Move type | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Local loading or unloading labor, no truck | $77 per hour |
| Small local job | $322–$666 |
| Out-of-state move, tiny load | from $1,252 |
| Out-of-state move, large multi-bedroom | can pass $15,000 |
Before locking a date, ask whether the estimate is binding. A non-binding figure can legally rise up to 10% at delivery if the move runs heavier or longer than the original guess; a binding quote holds the price.

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 LaSalle County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 40% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
