Movers based in DeKalb
Ordered by the power units on each carrier's own MCS-150 filing. A local base means the crew starts its day here; it does not mean the company runs every lane you need, so ask which moves it does with its own trucks and whose USDOT number goes on the bill of lading.

Moving out of state from DeKalb?

Long-distance movers in DeKalbBefore you book a DeKalb mover
The register tells you who is licensed. These six checks tell you whether the company in front of you is the one on the register, and what the price you are quoted actually commits them to.
- 1
Open the USDOT number on the federal record
Operating authority must be active and the legal name and DeKalb address must match what you were told. No number, or a number that belongs to another company, ends the conversation.
- 2
Ask whose number will be on the bill of lading
A van-line agent moves you under the van line's authority; an independent under its own; a broker under a carrier you have not met. The company legally responsible for your goods is the one whose USDOT number is on the contract.
- 3
Get a surveyed, written estimate
Long-distance prices depend on weight, and nobody can weigh a home over the phone. A binding estimate fixes the price for the listed inventory; a non-binding one may not be exceeded by more than 110% at delivery.
- 4
Choose valuation before moving day
Released value pays 60 cents per pound per article. Full value protection is the default unless you waive it in writing. Decide now, not after a claim.
- 5
Pay little or nothing up front
Established carriers bill on delivery. A large deposit, especially by wire, cash or a payment app, is the most reliable warning sign in the business.
- 6
Read the estimate for the extras
Stairs, long carries, shuttle trucks, packing and storage-in-transit are separate lines. If they are not on the estimate, they will be on the bill.

341 listed household-goods carriers are based in Illinois; the state page ranks the largest, and the long-distance page keeps only those with interstate authority.

Is this list a recommendation?
No. It is the federal register filtered to household-goods carriers based in or near DeKalb, ordered by distance and reported fleet. Nobody pays to appear, nothing is re-ranked, and we have used none of these companies. Every row links to the carrier's own record.
