What the Illinois corridor data shows
- Chicago is the most connected Illinois metro in our model with 108 priced corridors, which is why most Illinois searches resolve to one of its route pages.
- Chicago to San Francisco models about 2.5× the midpoint of Chicago to Minneapolis; distance explains most of that gap and the market assumptions at each end explain the rest.
- 27% of Illinois corridors in our model are under 800 miles, where crew hours at both ends carry more of the total than mileage does.
- 27% of the set runs 1,500 miles or longer, where the model prices weight hard and the delivery window widens into a spread of days.

Illinois moving cost questions

Across the 62 Illinois corridors we price, a 3-bedroom full-service move models $2,950–$9,850. The median corridor is about 1,055 miles; shorter moves sit below that band and cross-country moves above it.

Chicago to Minneapolis at $2,950–$3,950 over 420 miles. The dearest is Chicago to San Francisco at $7,400–$9,850 over 2,115 miles.
Does the Illinois city I move from change the price?
Yes. Labour-index assumptions for Illinois metros run 1.08–1.08 in our model, and that adjustment applies to the crew-service share of the bill at the Illinois end. Mileage from your actual address then sets the line-haul side.
Are these Illinois figures quotes?
No. They are modelled estimates built from published tariff structures, our distance model and documented home-size weight profiles. A binding number requires a survey of your own inventory and addresses.
