How Jay Movers operates, from its filing
- Where its drivers work
- 2 interstate beyond 100 air miles. Read plainly, every driver it files works beyond 100 miles, the profile of a long-distance operation.
- Commercial driver's licences
- None of the 2 drivers on its latest filing holds a CDL. A CDL is required to drive a truck rated over 26,000 lb, so on its own filing Jay Movers runs only trucks rated 26,000 lb or less.

- 2 power units on file (2 owned), all straight trucks.
- Miles driven
- 12,000 miles reported for 2025, about 6,000 per truck.
- Cargo declared
- Household goods, plus general freight.

What a move with Jay Movers should cost
Not Jay Movers's rates: what the published model says a comparable move from Chicago costs, to judge a written estimate against.
Local moves in Chicago: billed by the hour
A two-bedroom move in Chicago: 2 movers × 5–7 hours × $40–$50 an hour, plus $75 travel, is $475 – $775.
| Home | Crew | Hours | Range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 2 | 2–3 | $235 – $375 |
| 1 bedroom | 2 | 3–5 | $315 – $575 |
| 2 bedrooms | 2 | 5–7 | $475 – $775 |
| 3 bedrooms | 3 | 6–9 | $795 – $1,425 |
| 4 bedrooms | 4 | 8–10 | $1,355 – $2,075 |
| 5+ bedrooms | 4 | 10–12 | $1,675 – $2,475 |
Hourly rates are scaled to Illinois: hand movers there earn a median $19.50 an hour against $19.35 nationally (BLS, May 2025), so the model's national $40–$50 band becomes $40–$50 per mover per hour.

Before you book Jay Movers
- 1
Ask whether it moves you under MC344739
Jay Movers can haul an interstate move under its own authority, MC344739. If the written estimate names a van line or another carrier, that company is the one legally responsible for your goods, so check its number too.
- 2
Ask for Chicago references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Jay Movers's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Chicago you can call will tell you more than the register can.
- 3
Check the truck fits your home
No Jay Movers driver holds a CDL, so its trucks are rated 26,000 lb or less. For a three- or four-bedroom home, ask how many trucks or trips the estimate assumes; on an hourly job a second trip is paid time.
- 4
Judge the estimate against $475 – $775
The published model puts a two-bedroom local move in Chicago at $475 – $775 and a two-bedroom move to New York City, NY at $3,753 – $5,004. A surveyed, written estimate from Jay Movers far outside that is a reason to ask what it includes.
