Find your carrier at either end

The crew that loads matters most, so most people hire at the origin — but a Illinois carrier heading home can sometimes quote lower to fill the truck. Every city page below lists the licensed carriers within 50 miles, with inspection records and crash history for each.

What this corridor costs

No invented price ranges here — ever. For measured figures with dates and sample sizes, see what a long distance move costs and containers vs full-service. Whatever quote you get: ask if the estimate is binding, what valuation level it includes, and get both in writing before paying any deposit.

Questions about the Florida to Illinois move

How many people move from Florida to Illinois each year?
In the most recent IRS migration year published (tax years 2022–2023), 9,299 households — about 14,375 people — filed taxes from Florida one year and from Illinois the next. That makes this one of the major interstate corridors, and traffic on this corridor runs heavier in the other direction — 14,834 households moved Illinois to Florida in the same year.
Which movers can handle a Florida to Illinois move?
Any carrier with interstate household goods authority can legally run this corridor. 1,256 licensed carriers are based in Florida and 952 in Illinois, and many national van lines serve both ends. What matters more than the badge on the truck is the federal record behind it — every carrier we list carries its USDOT number, inspection history and crash record, so you can compare before you call anyone.
Should I pick a mover in Florida or in Illinois?
Usually the origin end — the crew that loads is the crew that matters most, and an origin-based carrier surveys your home more easily for a binding estimate. But a Illinois carrier deadheading home can sometimes quote lower to fill the truck. It is worth pricing both; when you call we can check both ends of the corridor.
What should a binding estimate include?
The rate, the pickup and delivery window, what is packed by whom, and the valuation (liability) level, in writing, after a survey of what you're actually shipping. A quote given sight-unseen over the phone is not an estimate — it is a number designed to win a phone call, and the federal complaint files are full of what happens after.

What this site is, plainly

VettedMove is a free referral service. We do not own trucks and we do not move anything. When you call, we connect you with a moving company from the licensed carriers listed on this site. We are paid by the moving company when a move goes ahead — you are never charged. Before any interstate move, read FMCSA’s two consumer booklets: Your Rights and Responsibilities When You Move and Ready to Move?
