First, you'll have to determine if you're looking at local or national movers. Different kinds of moves necessitate different kinds of experience, as shown above. You will also need to choose between a full-service or self-service moving company. Both types of companies provide trucks and people to drive them.

Next, you can look to see which movers near you meet the licensing requirements for movers in Illinois. You can also browse online reviews and look at the company's rating on the BBB.
