Moving Companies in Quincy, IL
Quincy’s local moves run on hourly labor, so preparation and scheduling shape the final bill as much as crew size.
What local rates look like
- Expect about $192 per hour in Illinois for a standard local job with a 2-person crew and truck; extra workers or heavy items can raise it.
- Loading or unloading help, once you have a truck or container, runs about $82.76 per hour; typical totals fall between $322 and $666.
Common add-ons
- Stairs and long carries from door to truck often add charges.
- Pianos, gun safes, and hot tubs may carry flat surcharges.
- Packing services raise material and labor costs compared with boxing items yourself.
Keep the final bill in check
- Request a written binding not-to-exceed estimate; otherwise the final charge can legally climb 10% to 25% at delivery if weight or volume was miscalculated.
- Basic carrier liability covers $0.60 per pound per article, so a 20-pound, $1,000 television would be covered for just $12; ask about full value protection or check your own insurance.
- Month start/end and summer weekend dates tend to cost more; ask about mid-week or mid-month discounts.
- Finish boxing, drawer emptying, electronics disconnection, and disassembly before the crew arrives to avoid paying for prep time.
- Keep an essentials bin with toiletries, chargers, tools, pet supplies, and a change of clothes to unload first.

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 Adams County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 69% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
