The Cost of Hiring Movers in Joliet, IL

On average, it costs $357.86 to hire moving helpers in Joliet, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Joliet, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $76.94.

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 Joliet, IL is $960.14, with an average hourly rate of $131.38. 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.

Cris and Victor were perfect. They were early and sized our move up quickly. They loaded more than we thought would fit in the Pod. Impressive young men. I hope they will be available for our next pod loading later in April.

My movers were amazing! Great communication with letting me know exactly when they would be there. They were on time and even a little earlier than expected. Came prepared with large rolling cart, they worked non stop and made sure all my fragile belongings were handled carefully. I would 100% use again, friendly, reliable service! Made the moving process as smooth as possible.

These guys were awesome. They showed up down a man due to a family emergency, but worked super hard making sure everything I needed got moved into the pod, as well as bulky furniture I needed to get out of the apartment and into the back alley. I would hire them again.

I am totally satisfied with the 2 man team of movers that provided the service of moving all our personal belongings into a 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor under grueling heat conditions and very narrow stairs. I will highly recommend their service as a job well done. Thank you for all your help.
