The Cost of Hiring Movers in River Forest, IL
On average, it costs $366.87 to hire moving helpers in River Forest, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across River Forest, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $72.62.
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 River Forest, IL is $821.47, with an average hourly rate of $124.99. 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.

They arrived on time. They were very courteous and respectful. They did an amazing job of loading my moving truck. They knew how to load it correctly. I was very impressed and very happy with their work. Thank you for making this move easier than I expected.
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
The S&L Team was amazing. Polite, considerate, and always willing to go the extra mile to make the moving experience, which is always tough, a positive experience!
Guys showed up early and ready to help. Both were kind and great to chat with while they were moving my things. Was a full storage for 3 room house. They knocked it out with 4 min to spare. Would be a definite recommendation to use these guys.
Our 2 man crew was on time, were professional and worked hard loading our pod. For the items that we express concern about, they used additional blankets and stretch wrap. No damage occurred on the stairway or doorways. Would definitely use them again.
Amazing movers. Extremely communicative from the beginning. On time, polite, efficient and professional. Highly recommend this company. You will be very happy! Moving is stressful they make it easy. Use them!
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!!!
The moving team was incredible - they were on time, did everything that was asked of them, and went above and beyond when taking care of my things. They packed the truck with expert precision and were very careful when loading and unloading. They were friendly and professional the whole time - they kept smiles on their faces. I cannot recommend them enough!!!
Victor and Don were amazing! They were on time, worked hard, extremely friendly, and respectful. For our next move, we will definitely be reaching out for their services again.
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!
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!
We could not have been more pleased with the overall experience! From the upfront communications, the promptness of the (4) guys that showed up to their keenness of loading and unloading our moving truck. They were able to move items with no issues and look forward to using S & L Express Moving Services when we need them next!
