Service Description

Long Distance Moving from Chicago, Done by the Crew You Booked Moving to another state is a big step. You want to know who is handling your belongings, what your estimate includes, and who to call while your things are on the road. At MLV Transportation, the people you talk to are the people who move you. When you book with us directly, our own crew loads your home, drives your shipment and delivers it. We are a Chicago moving and storage company based in Lincolnwood, IL. Most of our long distance moves start in Chicago and the Midwest, and we deliver to destinations across the USA. WHY BOOK YOUR INTERSTATE MOVE DIRECT Many people who search for long distance movers end up talking to a booking company that sells the job to a carrier they never meet. When you book directly with the mover: - You speak with the company that does the work. Your questions go straight to our sales and dispatch team, not to a middleman. - Your estimate comes from us. We build it from the inventory you share with us, so there are no surprises from a third party. - You know who to call. Once your move is on the road, our dispatch team can tell you where it is. - You save. Customers who book directly with MLV get 10% off their move.

TIPS FOR A SMOOTH LONG DISTANCE MOVE - Start early. Out of state moves take more planning than local ones. Begin sorting and decluttering a few weeks ahead. - Moving less costs less. Sell or donate what you will not use in your new home. - Keep an essentials box with you. Documents, medications, chargers and a change of clothes should travel with you, not on the truck. - Plan for both buildings. Check elevator reservations, parking and loading rules at your old and new home. - Changes to your date. Cancellations or date changes need 72 hours notice.
