Quick and friendly crew. Stayed within estimated budget and worked with urgency. My only complaint is none of the furniture was wrapped with plastic or blankets and we’ve since found many scuffs and nicks on our furniture that weren’t there before.

Omar and his team where amazing! They showed up on time and took very good care of my items, especially our piano and large items. They went above and beyond with helping me assemble a few of the items that would have taken me quite a bit of time. If you are in need of a solid, honest, professional...

I can not recommend Cardinale enough for storage needs. Adam and the team put service at the next level. We utilize Cardinale for trade show storage for an annual event in Monterrey - naturally this requires some coordination and additional 'work' that is beyond what we originally expected -- and th...

Rational moving just moved us from Scotts Valley to Bonny Doon and I'm so glad I hired them! Rick and Roman came to our home in Scotts Valley for an estimate and the price they quoted is the price they moved us for, no extras or add-on fees despite stairs, a fridge that required disassembly, and som...

Daniel, Israel & Ricky did a terrific job moving our 3 bedroom home. This is our 3rd move in less than a year and I'm starting to feel like an expert :( They were fast but at the same time very careful with protecting everything. I will definitely ask for them the next time.

Fantastic young crew. Very polite and professional, they handled all of our furniture with excellent care. We went from old rental to new rental without any issues or damage to anything. Do not plan on moving anytime soon, but I would absolutely hire this crew again.

We had the pleasure of using Lambert & Son for our move from La Selva Beach to Aptos. They are, by far, the best movers I've ever had. They were SO efficient, careful, and flexible. I've never had movers get everything done so quickly. We had them move a 3 bedroom townhouse to a 4 bedroom single-fam...

They communicated clearly, integrated me into the team on both the packing and moving jobs to ensure we were in synch on all the details, and never missed a beat. There were a few si...

How many people actually move between Santa Clara and Illinois

Federal tax-filer records, 2022-2023

+410 net
796 out
1,206 in

Over the year, 796 people moved from Santa Clara to Illinois, and 1,206 came back the other way. The move 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.
