Chicago, Illinois is home to about 2.7 million people across 227.7 square miles, and its moving market is served by 2,923 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA within roughly 45 miles of downtown.
Local moves inside Chicago are quoted by the hour: expect around $135 per hour for two movers and a truck, $180 for three, and $230 for a four-person crew, usually with a two- or three-hour minimum plus a travel fee. 2,209 of the local carriers hold interstate authority, and 2,263 report operating beyond 100 miles, so long-distance capacity is plentiful.
Chicago is a dense city (12,061 people per square mile), which shapes how moves work: parking permits, elevator reservations, narrow streets and walk-ups add time, and many companies quote a shuttle or long-carry fee when a truck cannot park at the door.
