Our trucks run this route
Our trucks run between our Chicago, New Jersey, and DC-area bases every day, and down the East Coast to Florida. Most deliveries along this route arrive in under a week. Pickup and delivery dates are confirmed with your estimate.
Planning your Maryland to Illinois move
Count the garage and basement in your Maryland inventory, and tell us whether the Illinois delivery is a single-family home, a townhouse, or a building with a freight elevator. Chicago deliveries often depend on alley or loading dock access, so share those details early.

| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Maryland pickup | Include every part of your Maryland home in the inventory: basement rooms, garage shelving, patio furniture, and storage units. If you are moving from a condo, send the building access instructions along with your preferred pickup date. |
| Illinois delivery | For an Illinois delivery, tell us whether the truck will use the street, an alley, or a loading dock. Chicago buildings often require a freight elevator reservation and a certificate of insurance. |
