    What is a Cross-Country Move?

    A cross-country move is a long-distance relocation to another state, whether you’re heading to a neighboring state or moving to the opposite coast. While the phrase often conjures up images of transcontinental travel, it broadly applies to any move that takes you well beyond Illinois state lines and involves a significant amount of distance, planning, and coordination. 

    What distinguishes a cross-country move from a local one isn’t just the miles. It’s also the regulatory framework, the logistics involved, and the level of expertise required. When you move across state lines, your relocation falls under federal jurisdiction and is governed by rules set by the U.S. Department of Transportation. This means the moving company you hire must carry proper federal licensing to legally perform interstate moves, which not all movers do. 

    Cross-country moves are also priced differently from local moves. Rather than being charged by the hour, interstate moves are typically priced based on two factors: the total weight of your shipment and the distance it will travel. This makes accurate pre-move planning and inventory assessment especially important, and it’s something Reebie’s experienced move coordinators walk every customer through in detail. 

    Because of the federal requirements and the complexity involved, cross-country movers in Chicago need the infrastructure of a national network to do the job right. That’s why Reebie’s affiliation with Allied Van Lines (one of the largest and most established moving networks in North America) is such a meaningful advantage for customers. As a top-rated Allied agent, Reebie has access to nationwide resources, vetted carrier networks, and consistent service standards no matter which state you’re moving to or from. 

    Reebie's Cross-Country Moving Services

    Reebie offers a full range of services designed to simplify your cross-country relocation from start to finish. Whether you need a complete full-service move or just the essentials, we’ll build a plan that matches your needs and budget.

    Full-Service Packing and Unpacking

    Packing for a cross-country move is a project in itself. Our professional packing crews are trained to handle everything from everyday household items to delicate antiques, electronics, artwork, and fragile collectibles. We use high-quality materials and proven techniques to ensure every item is properly protected for the long haul. When you arrive at your destination, we can handle the unpacking too, so you can start settling in from day one. 

    Loading and Transportation

    Our crews are skilled in the proper loading and securing of household goods for long-distance transit. Every item is carefully padded, wrapped, and positioned to prevent shifting or damage during transport. As an Allied Van Lines agent, Reebie has access to a fleet of late-model equipment specifically designed for long-distance moves, ensuring your belongings travel safely across hundreds or thousands of miles.

    Customized Moving Plans

    No two cross-country moves are the same. Reebie’s move coordinators work with you directly to understand your timeline, budget, destination, and any special requirements, then build a customized moving plan around those specifics. Whether you’re relocating a studio apartment or a five-bedroom home, we tailor every detail to your situation.

    In-Transit Storage Solutions

    Sometimes the timing of a cross-country move doesn’t line up perfectly: your closing date shifts, your new home isn’t ready, or you simply need a little breathing room between departure and arrival. Reebie offers in-transit storage options that keep your belongings secure at our state-of-the-art facility for as long as you need. Our 1-Touch Storage Advantage means your items are loaded once and stored in the same vault until they’re ready for delivery, minimizing handling and reducing the risk of damage.

    Specialty Item Moving

    From pianos and pool tables to wine collections and high-value artwork, Reebie has the experience and equipment to move specialty items that require extra care. Our crews are trained in the specific techniques needed for oversized, delicate, or uniquely valuable possessions, and we treat every item with the same level of attention regardless of size or worth.

    Corporate and Employee Relocation

    Businesses relocating employees across the country choose Reebie for the same reasons families do — reliable service, transparent pricing, and a team that communicates clearly every step of the way. Reebie’s corporate relocation services are designed to minimize disruption to your business and make the transition as smooth as possible for the employees you’re moving.

    Why Choose Reebie as Your Chicago Cross-Country Movers

    There is no shortage of cross-country moving companies in Chicago, but very few of them can match what Reebie brings to the table. Here’s a deeper look at what makes us the right choice for your long-distance relocation.

    145+ Years of Experience

    Reebie was founded in 1880, making us the oldest moving company in Chicago and one of the longest-operating movers in the country. This history represents generations of families who trusted us with their most important belongings, an institutional knowledge of how to handle every challenge a move can present, and a culture of excellence built over more than a century. When you hire Reebie, you benefit from that experience on every move.

    Award-Winning Quality and Customer Satisfaction

    Reebie’s track record of recognition speaks for itself.

    The Allied Van Lines Network

    As a premier Allied Van Lines agent, Reebie is backed by one of the most extensive moving networks in the country. Allied Van Lines has interstate moving authority nationwide, which means that when you hire Reebie for your Chicago cross-country move, your relocation is supported by a network of trained, vetted professionals at both ends of the journey. You get the personalized service of a local company with the resources and reach of a national carrier.

    A Dedicated Customer Care Team

    One of the most common frustrations people experience with cross-country moves is the communication gap: the feeling that once your stuff leaves, you’re left wondering where it is and when it will arrive. Reebie solves that problem with a dedicated customer care team that stays in contact with you throughout the entire process. From your initial quote to final delivery, you’ll have real people to speak with, real answers to your questions, and a team genuinely invested in the success of your move.

    Transparent, Honest Pricing

    We offer binding estimates for cross-country moves, which means the price we quote you is the price you pay, with no surprise fees, no vague line items, no inflated charges at delivery. Our move coordinators walk you through exactly how your estimate is calculated and what services are included, so you can make informed decisions without any unwelcome surprises on moving day.

    What Sets Reebie Apart from Other Cross-Country Moving Companies in Chicago

    Choosing between cross-country moving companies in Chicago often comes down to two things: trust and track record. Reebie has both in abundance. But beyond the awards and the longevity, there are a few specific qualities that distinguish the Reebie experience from what you’ll find elsewhere. 

    We’re local and national at the same time. Many large van lines feel impersonal, like you’re a number, not a customer. Many smaller local movers lack the infrastructure to manage a true cross-country relocation. Reebie occupies the best of both worlds: a deeply rooted Chicago moving company with the national network of Allied Van Lines behind every move. You get the personalized service and local accountability of a company that’s been part of this city for over a century, combined with the reach and resources to move you anywhere in the country. 

    We treat your belongings like our own. The professionalism and care our teams bring to each move is something our customers consistently point out in their reviews. From the way we wrap your furniture to the way we communicate during transit, every part of the Reebie experience is designed around one goal: getting your belongings to your new home in the same condition they left your old one. 

    We’ve been doing this longer than almost anyone. Most moving companies operating today simply don’t have a decade of history, let alone 14 of them. The experience Reebie has accumulated across 146+ years informs everything we do — how we train our crews, how we handle specialty items, how we problem-solve when unexpected challenges arise. That depth of experience is something no new competitor can replicate. 

    We give back to the communities we serve. Reebie has worked with Move for Hunger for nearly ten years, distributing hundreds of thousands of pounds of food to the greater Chicago area to fight food insecurity. We believe that being a great moving company means being a great neighbor, and that commitment to community is woven into how we operate.

    Chicago Cross-Country Movers | FAQs

    How far in advance should I book my cross-country move?

    The earlier the better. We recommend booking your cross-country move as soon as you have a confirmed moving date, ideally six to eight weeks out, and even earlier if you’re planning to move during peak season (May through September). Booking early ensures you get your preferred dates, gives our team ample time to prepare a thorough moving plan, and can help secure the most favorable pricing. That said, Reebie works with customers on tight timelines too. Contact us and we’ll do our best to accommodate your schedule.

    The timeline for a cross-country move depends on several factors, including the total distance, the size of your shipment, the specific origin and destination, and any additional services you’ve requested. On average, most cross-country moves take between five and fourteen days from pickup to delivery. Your Reebie move coordinator will provide a delivery window specific to your move so you can plan accordingly.

    Yes. Reebie offers binding estimates for cross-country relocations. A binding estimate means the price you’re quoted is the price you’ll pay at delivery, regardless of any minor variations in the actual weight of your shipment. This gives you budget certainty and eliminates the anxiety of not knowing your final moving cost until moving day. Our move coordinators provide detailed, transparent estimates based on a thorough assessment of your inventory and service needs.

    Your belongings are protected at multiple levels. First, our professional packing crews use high-quality materials (moving blankets, specialty boxes, foam wrapping, and custom crating where needed) to ensure everything is properly safeguarded for long-distance transit. Second, items are carefully loaded and secured in the truck to prevent shifting. Third, as a licensed and insured carrier, Reebie offers valuation coverage options for your shipment, and our move coordinator will explain your protection choices clearly before your move begins.

    Yes. Reebie provides shipment tracking so you can stay informed about the progress of your move while your belongings are in transit. Your customer care representative will also be available throughout the process to give you updates and answer any questions that come up along the way.

    Yes. Like all licensed interstate carriers, Reebie is unable to transport certain categories of items, including hazardous materials (flammable liquids, aerosols, propane tanks), perishable food items, live plants, and other restricted goods. Your move coordinator will provide you with a complete list of non-transportable items during the planning process so you can make alternative arrangements for anything that falls into those categories.

    Reebie offers flexible in-transit storage solutions at our secure Chicago-area facility. If your move-in date doesn’t align with your move-out date, or if you need time before taking delivery at your destination, we’ll store your belongings safely until you’re ready. Our 1-Touch Storage Advantage means your items are placed in a secure storage vault and handled minimally until they’re ready for final delivery, keeping your possessions well-protected throughout the wait.

    Both. Reebie provides cross-country moving services for individuals, families, and businesses of all sizes. Our corporate relocation services are specifically designed to manage employee moves efficiently and with minimal disruption. Whether you’re relocating a single executive or coordinating a large-scale employee relocation program, Reebie has the resources and experience to manage it effectively.
