Long Distance Moving & Storage. Household, Commercial, International, Corporate services available. Our Mission is To exceed expectations on every move. We live this day in and day out. Our service is top notch and fully efficient. Our trucks are perfectly equipped for moving with Pads, dollies, Plastic and much more. We provide Long Distance Moves across the entire country, directly from our West Coast HUBS located in AZ, CA, OR and WA. Or, we team with our partner companies to complete moves together. We are proud to provide a service that no other company offers; Dedicated Trucks. This means that your belongings are loaded on the truck and not combined with anyone else’s items (from/to west coast only). They are not transferred to other trucks or facilities in route which causes damage and loss of items (typical with van lines). We have a set loading day and unloading day. This is by far the safest way to ship. Our interstate rates are per 24ft moving van that holds up to 8,500lbs or 1400CuFt. Some customers require one truck and some require more. One truck holds the average 1800SqFt.

"I cannot say enough great things about All Service Moving—and ESPECIALLY Rico and Reyes, who were absolute lifesavers for my last-minute move. After another moving company bailed on me the day before my scheduled move, All Service swooped in and saved the day. Rico and Reyes showed up EARLY, upbeat, and ready to tackle the challenge—even with super heavy furniture that usually requires a 4-person crew. Somehow, the two of them handled everything like pros without a single scratch or ding—on the furniture or either home. What really stood out was how personable, kind, and thoughtful they were. They moved quickly and efficiently, knowing I was paying by the hour, but never once sacrificed care or quality. They were kind to my mom (who was helping me out), and so sweet to my two dogs too. If you’re planning a move, ask for Rico and Reyes by name. They went above and beyond, and I want their team to know what a fantastic job they did. They deserve every bit of recognition. 100% recommend."

"AVOID THIS COMPANY. I used Advanced Moving & Storage's services for a local move from a storage unit to an apartment. While Advanced wasn't the lowest quote, it seemed reputable and so booked with them. After booking, I received a call from one of their associates, who highly recommended adding another moving professional to my job. It was an additional cost, but accepted this recommendation and paid in advance. Upon arriving at my apartment with a truck half-full with my possessions, the Advanced moving crew informed me that need to give them another $615 in cash immediately, and that they won't move my things until did. had some cash on me, knowing that they may take more time than estimated, but not $615. I called Advanced's customer service to work through the issue. Their response was that l "probably had more things than what was reported, and so better go to the bank and get the money because the clock is ticking and it's costing me more money."

**PLEASE CLICK OUR SHOP BUTTON!!** ALL OF OUR DEALS ARE ALL INCLUSIVE WITH SHRINK WRAP, TAPE AND WARDROBE SERVICE!! When we started out, we wanted to streamline the moving process for clients in the Chicagoland area. We felt that the current local industry was inundated with way too many fees and charges and that customers came away feeling like they were being "nickel and dimed" for everything. What we found was that by building everything into a full service, simple quote system, with no additional fees, customers overwhelmingly responded with an unanimous thumbs up. Simple and stress free, easy to understand and easily meeting expectations. This has become our thumbprint. You will LOVE the way we move!

"Blankenship movers were on time. They were very professional, friendly and courteous, careful as well as efficient with time. Everything was handled and packed with care. I would hire them again."

Moving into a new home is one of life's most exciting and transformative experiences. That's why it's crucial to trust the right people with your move and the belongings you can't imagine leaving behind. Let us be part of your journey—our owners understand the significance of this transition, and knowing that families like yours put their trust in us brings us true joy. We'd be honored to be a part of your next chapter!

"Many of our boxes arrived in deeply damaged condition, with many of the worst boxes being those labeled as "fragile", as well as a few of our furniture pieces being delivered were damaged and broken SEE ATTACHED PICTURES. The most concerning of these incidents is the delivery of one of our boxes nearly completely ripped open, appearing to have been rummaged through. Our delivery driver showed up over an hour beyond our communicated window of 12pm-8pm, arriving at 9:15pm on a Sunday night which caused strain with our landlord and community as there are residential quiet hours. He also did not communicate this delay until around 7:45 pm. During the initial pick up, the crew lost the key to the service elevator for my apartment building and offered to cover $50 of the replacement fee but insisted if it cost anymore, it would be on me to cover this fee. My partner was away at the time and as a woman alone during the pick up stage, I didn't feel comfortable pushing back and I had assumed "

"Mighty Movers stands out as the finest out as the finest moving company I have ever encountered. Their honesty and reliability are unmatched, and they treat your belongings with the utmost care, as if they were handling precious treasures. Having moved several times in the past, I often faced disappointing experiences—items damaged, unprofessional staff who seemed to drag their feet just to inflate the bill, or exorbitant charges that were never disclosed upfront. As a widow, I felt particularly anxious about finding a trustworthy mover. When I spoke with Mr. Robbie Seidel, I was still exploring my options, but his genuine demeanor immediately put me at ease. Taking a leap of faith, I chose Mighty Movers, and it turned out to be the best decision I could have made. I am incredibly thankful to have discovered this honest company, which employs only and hardworking individuals from start to finish. On moving day, the crew arrived punctually and worked diligently without wasting a moment. I was genuinely impressed by how quickly and efficiently the three team members operated, all while treating my belongings with the utmost gentleness. They handled everything, whether fragile or not, as if it were their own. I am quite particular about my possessions, and I was relieved to find everything in perfect condition after the move. They even took the time to assemble my furniture, completing the job right on schedule as Mr. Robbie Seidel had promised. If you are in search of a dependable and honest moving company, look no further. Hiring Mighty Movers will be a decision you won’t regret. I am more than 100% satisfied with their service, and should I ever need to move again, they will be my first choice without a doubt!"

Moving questions, answered by experts

Hire movers two to three months before your move-out date to give you enough time to compare rates, organize your belongings, and, most importantly, find a crew available for the exact day and time you need. You may find movers only one or two weeks ahead, but some companies require booking up to 90 days in advance. Consider the time of year, too—summer weekends book up fast, so plan ahead.

You should give yourself ample time to pack clothes for a move. For best results, begin packing at least a few weeks before moving. The packing process may take shorter or longer depending on how many clothes you have and the size of your home. Start with clothing that’s out of season and work you way to the pieces you plan to pack in your moving-day suitcase.

Moving pods are most often available in three sizes: 8, 12, and 16 feet. To move a four-bedroom house, you’ll likely need two 16-foot moving pods. Of course, the exact answer depends more on your house’s square footage and the amount of belongings you have than on the number of bedrooms in the house. For example, moving a small four-bedroom house may only require one 16-foot pod and one 8-foot pod, but moving a large four-bedroom house may require more than two 16-foot pods.

Bubble wrap is a handy tool for packing mugs. After lining the bottom of the moving box with this packing material, wrap it around each mug, tucking the ends of the sheet inside the mug for a snug fit. You can also pack extra bubble wrap in the empty gaps between mugs to avoid movement during the trip.

It’s best to pack things that are in storage and non-essential items first. Start by packing up items you are taking from your storage unit, garage or shed, basement, and attic. You should wait to pack essential items such as toiletries and medications last.
