The Cost of Hiring Movers in Waukegan, IL
On average, it costs $349.76 to hire moving helpers in Waukegan, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Waukegan, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $75.49.
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 Waukegan, IL is $1,112.00, with an average hourly rate of $112.76. 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 were a little late because their first job of the day took longer. They finished the job in 45 minutes. They were respectful of my property, took care of home and helped with minor assembly. I would hire them again.
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.
Andy and Bat were wonderful! Excellent service. Highly recommend. My furniture was wrapped carefully and thoroughly which I very much appreciated. Thanks guy!!!
KJ, Steve, and James were amazing! I have never experienced such quick movers. They even offered to take my mattress for free to toss. So quick, kind, and respectful!! These guys need a raise!
Logan Lift was great! Very thankful for such a professional and helpful group of guys. I am recommending them to anyone who needs movers in the Chicagoland area. Thank you again it was a pleasure doing business with you all!
Both movers were great! So friendly and nice to my dogs while we waited for my pod to arrive. Once the pod arrived they were very quick and efficient and made sure to put everything in the correct place to make unpacking easier. I highly recommend!
The guys did an insanely great job. Not only was it done in a timely manner, but everything we asked to be put in our Pod was tetrised with the utmost precision. 10/10 recommend.
Hakeem and Ricky were incredible help. Were onsite 15 minutes early. Helped me wrap and disassemble a few pieces to ensure theyd be safe on the journey and had the job completed 30 minutes before my time was even up. Can't recommend enough.
Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.
Joshua and Jaih were fast, efficient and very hardworking! It worked out that we both could arrive early and they finished even earlier. The move went smoothly because of them- highly recommend!!
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!!!
All 3 men were super efficient and worked very quickly. I got injured before we even started packing things and they assured me that I wouldn’t have to do anything and could just relax. I would definitely recommend these workers and would hire them again if needed!
