Moving Near the Hub of the Midwest

Des Plaines is often called the “City of Destiny,” uniquely positioned right next to O’Hare International Airport and major arteries like I-294 and the Northwest Highway. It is a bustling community that mixes quiet residential streets lined with classic bungalows and modern condos near the revitalized downtown district. Whether you are moving near the historic Methodist Campground, relocating to a new apartment near Metropolitan Square, or moving your business to the logistics corridors near Touhy Avenue, you need a mover who understands the fast-paced energy of this transportation hub.

Our pledge for over 130 years has been to provide thoughtful, courteous, and trustworthy service. We understand that moving can be stressful, especially in a busy area like Des Plaines. That is why we have worked tirelessly to fine-tune our craft to ensure low-stress, streamlined, and affordable moving experiences. We have no tolerance for mediocre service, and our 90% approval ratings prove it.

Tips for Moving in Des Plaines

Watch the O'Hare Traffic

Des Plaines is incredibly convenient, but traffic near the I-190/I-294 interchange and Mannheim Road can be unpredictable due to airport congestion. We recommend scheduling your move start time for mid-morning to avoid the heavy commuter and traveler rush, ensuring the moving truck has a clear path.  

Check Parking Restrictions

If you live on a street with permit parking or narrow lanes (common in older neighborhoods), check with the City of Des Plaines regarding temporary parking permits for the moving truck. Securing a legal spot close to your home is critical for an efficient load-in.  

Plan for Condo Regulations

If you are moving into one of the many condo buildings near downtown Des Plaines, contact your property management company early. You will likely need to reserve the freight elevator and provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI), which we can generate for you.
