The Cost of Hiring Movers in Dekalb, IL
On average, it costs $506.76 to hire moving helpers in Dekalb, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Dekalb, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $93.34.
These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.
The Cost of Full-Service Moving
The average cost of a local full-service move in Dekalb, IL is $1,005.00, with an average hourly rate of $143.85. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.
Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

These guys came and got right after it and we're done faster than I could believe and my pod was packed so I'm sure that when it gets to my new home everything will be just like it was. Can't recommend these guys as high as they deserve, five stars just isn't enough!
Fine young men, very strong, very fast, and quite smart about how to move things as a team. They cleared out a closet that I couldn't reach anymore (I am a disabled veteran), and made sure I had the keys for the storage until. Big thanks to your hard-working and professional team.
These guys were phenomenal! They were the kindest people you could meet, took great care of my items, and had a smile on their face the whole time. Highly recommend! I will definitely use them again!
They were on time. They packed the POD incredibly. I wouldn't have been able to fit everything like they did. Their work was hard, but these 2 guys worked smart. There was no wasted effort. They accommodated every late request that I had made.
The movers were wonderful. They were efficient, knowledgeable, and very friendly pleasant to speak with pleasant to do business with I would recommend them highly.
Great three person team. Worked very hard. Loaded two 16 foot PODS in 4 hours. Very good at packing to prevent damage.make sure you have moving blankets available and bungee cords that will fit into the PODS grommets.
They went above and beyond to make sure all of our stuff was moved safely and swiftly. The owner was so nice and made sure we were well taken care of. We can't thank them enough for all their hard work! There's a reason they're rated #1!!!
They were absolutely fantastic! Kept us informed regarding arrival, we’re extremely polite and incredibly efficient. They had our home loaded in under an hour. Only issue was some confusion around our order regarding number of staff and number or hours. Took a little effort but was resolved
Both young men worked very hard and did an outstanding job. They arrived when they said they would, got to work right away, and didn’t stop until the job was done. They handled my furniture with care and placed everything in the right places. Very nice, courteous young men. I would definitely hire them again!
They were quick and took care of our possessions. Plus, after they left, a new neighbor said they were very polite and respectful with the elevator and ares. Another neighbor said Shamaiah was very nice too.
Were here ready to unload POD. THOUGHTFUL of my possessions. Friendly, sorted items out they thought would go in garage rather than house. They were both great.
They really worked hard, the load had shifted during transport. It was a mess. And it rained during the unloading. They smiled the whole time. They had our back. They were both so kind, patient, friendly and careful with our items. Despite the conditions they made the experience enjoyable. They are the best, I highly recommend them. Donna B
