We worked with Jackson Moving and Storage through the National network and their local affiliate All Chicagoland to coordinate our move from the Midwest to the west coast. Our driver team, Ivan & Fabiola when they came to do a physical inventory on Tue 7/28 and then for the move the following day and they were very pleasant and friendly, and they were able to deliver several days earlier than they originally had forecast. There was absolutely no damage, no lost items, excellent help on both ends of loading and unloading. Also, the helpers on both ends of the move were excellent and careful with our stuff. Our first contact on this move was Joe Illingsworth at All Chicagoland Moving. He was very responsive and easy to work with in getting our quotes and schedule arranged. Honestly, we don’t know how the love could have gone better. We strongly recommend them and would definitely use them again for a future move.

We had a small job to move some furniture, but it was heavy and awkward. Two young fellows arrived right on time and completed the task carefully and efficiently. They were professional and helpful. It was a very pleasant, satisfying experience.
★★★★★
Mark and his crew were so amazing! The fastest, most efficient move I’ve ever had! They are the best! Mark was so communicative. I will hire this company again and again and again

Common questions
Yes. You never pay us for finding a mover, getting a quote, or booking a move. We make money from paid listings and add-on tools we sell to the moving companies themselves — never from you.
Listings pull from established public sources and the moving companies themselves when they claim or sign up their profile. Reviews are aggregated from established review platforms. Any details like USDOT numbers, insurance, or specialty services come from what the mover has self-reported — always worth confirming directly with them before booking.
The quotes come from the movers themselves. On movers with the instant-quote feature, Robert collects enough detail about your job to produce a quote in their own pricing model — so it's accurate, but the mover is the one standing behind it. Always confirm details (stairs, access, elevator, date) before the move.
No. We do not blast your information to a pile of movers. You decide who gets your contact info — either by requesting a quote from a specific mover, or by telling Robert to share your shortlist. We never sell your data.
Ask Robert. Our directory covers movers nationwide, even if the city isn't on the featured grid above. Smaller markets and regional movers are fully searchable — the grid just highlights the most-searched ones.
Other directories give you a list. We give you a shortlist that actually fits your move. Robert reads your situation and ranks movers by fit, not by who paid the most. You can also get instant quotes here — something most directories don't offer.
