Who is the largest long-distance mover in Illinois?

How much does a long-distance move from Illinois cost?

Does a mover need an MC number to move me out of state?
Yes. Interstate household-goods carriers need active operating authority (an MC docket) as well as a USDOT number, insurance on file and a process agent. Check the authority on the FMCSA record, and ask whether the number on your bill of lading will be the carrier's own or a van line's.
