Long-Distance Moving from Illinois

Your own dedicated truck out of Chicago: same crew loads it, drives it, and unloads it. No shared freight.

The thing people hate about long-distance moving is the not-knowing: a truck that’s also carrying three other households, a delivery window that’s really a delivery month, and a phone number that stops answering once the deposit clears. We do it the opposite way.

When Chicago Speedee Movers takes your Illinois-to-anywhere move, you get a dedicated truck and the same named crew from the curb in Chicago to the curb at your new place. Nothing gets cross-loaded, transferred at a depot, or mixed with strangers’ boxes.

  • Licensed & insured — US DOT/MC & an Illinois ICC household-goods license
  • Flat-rate written quotes, no hidden fees
  • Our own uniformed crews & trucks

We hold US DOT and MC authority for interstate work, so the same company that wraps your couch in Avondale is the company that carries it down I-55 or out the I-90 corridor. One crew, one truck, one binding number. Flat-rate long-distance moves start at $2,200, written and locked before we load.

Because it’s your truck and not a shared trailer, your delivery date is a real date, not a two-week guess. We schedule the drive, give you a tight arrival window, and you have our crew’s contact the entire way.

Why dedicated beats shared freight

Most low-ball long-distance quotes are shared loads: your things ride with other people’s, get handled at a warehouse, and arrive whenever the truck fills its route. Here’s the difference in plain terms.

One crew, end to end

The movers who pad-wrap and load in Chicago are the ones who unload at the other end. Nothing changes hands at a depot.

A real delivery window

Dedicated truck means we drive your route directly, not whenever a shared trailer happens to fill.

Fewer hands, fewer dings

Cross-loading is where damage happens. Loaded once, driven, unloaded once. That’s it.

How the price is built

A binding long-distance quote comes from weight or volume, the distance, and access on both ends. Starting point below.

Component How it works
Starting flat rate From $2,200, binding written quote
Truck Dedicated to your move, no shared loads
Deposit $129 to lock the date, applied to total
Coverage $0.60/lb released value; full-value optional, up to $1,000,000 cargo per shipment

The drive out of Chicago

Where you land changes the route, and we plan it before the truck rolls. East and toward Indiana we take the I-90 corridor out past the Skyway; south and toward downstate Illinois or St. Louis it’s I-55, the Stevenson, straight out of the city. We watch the weather window too, because loading a dedicated truck in a January lake-effect snowstorm calls for a different morning than a clear July load. Either way the same crew that wrapped your things in Avondale stays with the shipment the whole way, so there’s no depot, no warehouse, and no stranger touching your furniture between here and your front door.

What’s not included

Long-haul storage at the destination if your new place isn’t ready (we’ll quote our Chicago short-term storage if you need a hold this end), and specialty items like a piano or safe (from $399). Packing is a separate service, but a fast packing crew can box you the day before so loading goes quick.

What’s included

Everything our crew brings on move day — no add-ons, no surprises.

  • A dedicated truck for your move only, zero shared or cross-loaded freight
  • The same named crew loading in Chicago and unloading at destination
  • A binding written flat-rate quote before we load a single box
  • Full pad-wrapping, dollies, and securing for the long haul
  • US DOT and MC interstate authority, bonded and insured
  • A real delivery window and direct contact with your crew en route

Common questions

Will my stuff really ride on its own truck?
Yes. Your move gets a dedicated truck, and your things are the only household on it. Nothing gets cross-loaded with other customers or swapped at a warehouse, which is exactly why your delivery date is a date and not a vague window.
How accurate is the long-distance quote?
It’s binding. We build it from your weight or volume, the distance, and the access on both ends, then put it in writing before we load. The $2,200 starting point is a real floor for a smaller move out of Illinois, not a teaser rate.
Are you licensed to move me across state lines?
We carry active US DOT and MC authority for interstate moves, plus we’re bonded and insured with up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment. We run the trucks ourselves; we’re not handing your move to anyone else.
How far out should I book a long-distance move?
Sooner is better for summer and the May 1 lease rush, but we move fast — quotes usually come back within the hour and we can often schedule a dedicated truck inside the same week. Call us and we’ll tell you the soonest honest date.
