Cities with the most listed carriers.
What a move costs in Illinois
Before you call any of them, know the number. Local moves bill by the hour; leaving the state is priced on weight and distance. From our published model.
| Home size | Local (hourly) | 1,000 miles |
|---|---|---|
| Studio | $235 – $375 | $3,375 – $4,500 |
| 2 bedrooms | $475 – $775 | $4,500 – $6,000 |
| 3 bedrooms | $795 – $1,425 | $5,175 – $6,900 |
| 5+ bedrooms | $1,675 – $2,475 | $6,750 – $9,000 |
How this list was built, and what it is not
Every carrier that moves household goods must register with the FMCSA. We pulled the register for Illinois, kept carriers with active status that declare household goods cargo and whose name identifies them as movers, and ordered them by registered fleet. That is the whole method. Nobody pays to be here and we re-rank nothing.
It is not a quality ranking and not an endorsement. Fleet size is self-reported, some genuine movers trade under names our filter misses, and a registration says nothing about how a crew treats your furniture. Use the USDOT number to read the record, get a written estimate after a survey, and refuse a large deposit.
Before you call a Illinois mover
Know what the move should cost first. Popular moving routes in Illinois prices every route we cover out of the state, within it and to every other state, by home size; the Illinois moving cost guide has local hourly rates city by city.
Movers in Illinois — questions
How many licensed moving companies are there in Illinois?
351 carriers based in Illinois are active on the FMCSA register with household goods declared and a name that identifies them as movers (pulled 2026-09-23). 105 of the 150 listed here hold interstate authority; the rest work within Illinois only.
Who is the largest mover in Illinois?
By registered fleet, Risinger Bros Transfer Inc in Morton with 337 power units and 286 drivers, on the register since 1984. Fleet size is self-reported on the carrier's MCS-150 filing and says nothing about service quality.
How much do movers cost in Illinois?
A local move in Illinois is billed by the hour: roughly $40 to $50 per mover per hour plus about $75 travel, which puts a studio at $235 – $375 and a three-bedroom home at $795 – $1,425. Leaving the state, movers price on weight and distance — a three-bedroom home over 1,000 miles is about $5,175 – $6,900. The calculator prices your exact route.
Does a mover need an MC number for a move inside Illinois?
Not federally. A move that stays inside Illinois is regulated by the state, and the carrier needs a USDOT number plus whatever Illinois itself requires. The moment the move crosses a state line, active interstate authority (an MC number) is mandatory. Check both on the FMCSA register before signing.
Is this list a recommendation?
No. It is the federal register filtered to movers and ordered by fleet size. Nobody pays to appear and we re-rank nothing. Use the USDOT number to read each carrier's safety and complaint record, then run the six checks on our moving companies page.
