The Cost of Hiring Movers in Kankakee, IL
On average, it costs $355.83 to hire moving helpers in Kankakee, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Kankakee, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $74.26.
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 Kankakee, IL is $840.39, with an average hourly rate of $137.34. 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 are amazing! They worked very fast and efficient and took great care of our stuff when bringing it in. 10/10 would recommend these guys to anyone!
I am always hesitant to hire people before I see what kind of quality of work ethic they have. Victor and Don are amazing and I will absolutely be hiring them again!
Both movers did a great job they were fast and efficient, they were able to pack the moving pod very neatly and nice without nothing being damaged. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Great service and great job!!!
They were on time, ready to start working and they handled everything very carefully. They assembled our bed and made sure everything was placed as we wanted. I highly recommend Logan Lift!
They worked hard and fast. They did knick a couple of freshly painted walls. They apologized which we appreciated, but we will need to do some touch ups. Would still recommend them. Very polite young men.
Our team of movers were AWESOME. They arrived early, worked diligently and exhibited superior customer service. Though we didn’t have all the boxes taped and ready, they were patient and helpful. I would not only recommend, but would hire again!
They were early and got to work immediately! They had a very big job with a few very heavy items and worked very hard moving them. When obstacles came up, they respectfully asked our opinions.
Third move using Logan Lift Express and I couldn’t recommend them enough for how much work and effort they put in to my new home move from my temporary apartment. Very quick and helped me with additional items that needed help and unloaded very quickly into my rented truck. Chris the supervisor has done every move and made sure to bring his best guys for the job
The crew at Logan Lift Services were professional, effective, and efficient with the process of moving all of my belonging into the POD. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to move.
