A successful relocation requires more than a truck, boxes, and the willingness to work hard. To perform an excellent job, a team needs the ability to move all types of belongings, including very fragile or oversized items, safely and efficiently. At Federal Companies, we make sure our employees are equipped with the training, tools, and equipment necessary for every job. That includes a variety of straps, dollies, furniture blankets, hand tools, and specialized equipment for specific types of furniture and belongings.
With over a century of experience in the industry, we know that the correct equipment combined with top-notch training and a crew with a great work ethic make all the difference when it comes to delivering superior services. The right equipment and training helps our movers to make the moving process easier, safer, and worry free. You can rest easy knowing your items are packed with the right techniques and materials to arrive at your new home in one piece. Everything is loaded with care and the proper equipment onto a well-maintained truck and secured carefully. We even make sure your home is protected from damage with Masonite boards over carpeting and protective padding for door jambs.
How Much Will Your Move Cost?
Professional movers offer a great value with the ability to customize the services you receive to stay within budget. You can get the help you need and handle the tasks you want or let a professional crew handle everything.
The cost of moving services depends on many factors. A free in-home assessment will be necessary to give you an accurate estimate that considers the type and volume of your goods and how long your move should take. It may help to understand the factors that go into your moving cost:
- Season and date of your move
- Distance from your current to new location
- Level of service (packing, unpacking, labor-only, etc.)
- Specialty services
- Storage needs
- Type of belongings and volume of household goods
- Accessibility of the apartment or home (stairs, elevator, parking, etc.)
- Size of moving crew needed
With Federal Companies, you can expect competitive, transparent pricing. Our local moves are charged hourly plus travel time with trip travel insurance, a higher level of coverage than you’ll get with most local movers who only include basic coverage (just $0.30/lb) or depreciated coverage. Local moves are relocations within 35 miles. If you are moving outside this radius, you may have an hourly or flat rate for long distance movers.

What to Look for in a Mover
- Are they licensed and insured? An Illinois moving company must have a Household Goods License from the Illinois Commerce Commission. Verify the company is licensed and insured for your protection if your belongings are damaged or someone is hurt.
- A proven track record. A dependable mover has years of experience in the industry. Don’t be afraid to ask about the number of moves they complete each year and how many are similar to yours.
- Are they trained and background checked? The team that handles your move should be background checked, trained, and uniformed. This ensures they have the knowledge and skill necessary to safely complete your move.
- Transparent pricing. Beware of any mover that is not willing to give you a written estimate, has confusing pricing, accepts cash only, or requires a high deposit upfront.
