Going coast to Midwest? Our Santa Rosa to Chicago movers carry your home east on one truck along the interstate and set it up in Illinois. Get your Chicago quote.
We only contact you about this request. Your number is never shared.
Your household rides on a dedicated truck, so it is never moved to another truck at a depot on the way east. We move households to all 50 states, and this cross-country run over the Sierra, the Rockies and the plains is one we plan with extra time for weather.
Chicago counted 2,746,388 residents in the 2020 Census, and many new homes there are walk-ups or buildings with alley loading. We ask about both before your move is scheduled.
Your Chicago price falls inside its range based on these three things.
More rooms means more movers, more truck space and a longer load.
Walk-up stairs, elevators and alley parking all change the time at delivery.
Winter crossings need flexible dates, and summer books first.
Labor, the truck, several days of highway and the fuel surcharge are inside every range.
| Size of home | Movers and truck | Price range |
|---|---|---|
| Studio or one bedroom | 2 movers, 1 truck | $11,800 – $13,450 |
| Two or three bedrooms | 3 movers, 1 truck | $16,300 – $18,800 |
| Four bedrooms and up | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $23,950 – $27,650 |
Packing, cartons, storage and added valuation coverage are priced one at a time.
Our move was made easy with Mentors Moving and Storage. We had 6 nice, young gentlemen that did a careful job! They took extra care with my antiques. They even moved all of my plants and garden stuff! They were friendly, fast and personable. I would definitely recommend them and hire them again.
We had a great move experience with Mentors. The quote was done quickly and was a great value. The movers arrived on time and were quite friendly. They packed everything quickly and carefully. They were able to change the bill on the spot when they used less than the estimated amount of time. It was a really low stress experience.
My daughter and I used Mentors Moving in July 2023 to move her across town. It involved stopping at 2 other locations to pick up items. The movers (Chance, Jake and Juventio) were EXCELLENT! They hustled for 6 hours and were very, very careful with her belongings. They were great guys, worked together well and were able to maneuver around tight halls and narrow doorways to get the bunkbeds in. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Your furniture stays on the truck it was loaded on from Santa Rosa to Chicago.
Coast-to-Midwest moves are a regular part of what our Santa Rosa office books.
If your Chicago lease starts late, your things wait in storage watched around the clock.
Liquids are sealed, mattresses are bagged and fragile cartons ride on top.
Tell us about stairs and alleys, and we send the movers and equipment the building needs.
You see the cost for your home size before you book, with extras listed separately.
Before you sign the bill of lading, the mover must give you a written estimate and a notice that you may see its tariff, under 49 CFR 375.213. The FMCSA Protect Your Move page covers the rest. Our road sources are UDOT and NWS Des Moines.
If your Chicago block is in a residential parking zone, buy daily guest passes for moving day, each valid for 24 hours, and check that the zone number matches your street signs. For a license and plates, see the Illinois Secretary of State new resident page for current deadlines.
Count on several days. A loaded truck needs more than a full day of highway plus rest stops, and the delivery window goes into your paperwork before we load.
Our driver parks somewhere safe and waits for the reopening. You hear from us right away with revised timing, and the load stays tied down and covered the whole time.
On permit-zone blocks, daily guest passes help the truck and your helpers park legally. Check your zone number against the street signs first.
Yes. Winter runs to Illinois go out all season. We watch the Utah canyons and the Iowa plains, pack liquids against freezing and keep a spare delivery day in the plan.
Yes. After we load in Santa Rosa, your things can sit in monitored storage until the lease begins, then head to Illinois. That storage is billed apart from the move.
Call or send the form with both addresses, your target week and bedroom count. We send back a cost range and a loading day.
