Tony has done several moves for me and for friends - he and his team are GREAT! They have mad 'Tetris' skills and can pack more into the truck or POD than you would believe, all quickly and carefully! Everything arrives in perfect condition.

We had them come to update 2 bathroom sink faucets and 1 kitchen faucet and replace a broken disposal. Turns out all the pipes and valves associated with those were old and filled with decades of gunk. So we had everything replaced per their recommendation, which they thoroughly explained before pro...

If you are moving or need stuff moved, look no further. This is an exceptional team and service. They moved us into the top floor of an old building in the city, navigating tight corners and low ceilings. After we moved in, we bought two couches that no white glove delivery could get up our stairs....

Loudest shout out to Winter Moving & Storage Company! 🙌 We recently did a full-house move with them that included my 80-year-old parents, and I couldn’t be happier. They truly delivered more than five-star service from start to finish. From the very first call, Yotam was incredibly friendly and pro...

How many people actually move between San Francisco and Chicago, IL

Federal tax-filer records, 2022-2023 · about 1,849 miles apart

+134 net
546 out
680 in

Over the year, 546 people moved from San Francisco to Chicago, IL, and 680 came back the other way. At 1,849 miles this is a long-haul job, priced by weight and distance rather than by the hour. It also crosses a state line, so the company you hire must hold active interstate operating authority with the FMCSA.

Where this comes from: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023 — the IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns; the counts above are the people on those returns. County-level and about two years behind.

How much truck space do you need?

I’m moving a that’s .

A moving truck filling up as you change the options
1,150
cubic feet — what a local crew loads
8,050 lb what a long-distance carrier quotes on
26 ft rental truck, if you drive it yourself

Industry rules of thumb — about seven pounds per cubic foot, and published rental-truck capacities. Not our carrier records, not a quote. Bring both numbers to the call and what you get back will finally be comparable.
