Moving across state lines is a different animal than moving across town. The stakes are higher, the logistics are trickier, and there’s a lot less room for a company to “figure it out as they go.” That’s why, for over a century, Reebie Storage & Moving Co. has built its reputation as one of the most dependable long distance movers Chicago has ever produced, handling everything from single-family relocations to full corporate moves that stretch from Illinois to the other side of the country.
As a proud agent of Allied Van Lines, Reebie combines old-fashioned accountability with the reach of a national network. That means your move is backed by generations of institutional know-how, a fleet built specifically for long-haul transport, and a team that treats interstate regulations and paperwork as second nature, not an afterthought.

What Makes a Long-Distance Move Different
A local move is stressful for a weekend. A long-distance move touches your life for weeks and sometimes longer, depending on distance, shipment size, and scheduling.
Weight-based pricing, delivery windows, and interstate compliance all come into play, which is exactly why so many households and companies search for long distance movers Chicago residents can actually verify through reviews, licensing, and years of completed moves rather than a slick website alone.
Reebie’s crews are trained specifically for these moves: not just packing and lifting, but the coordination that goes into keeping a shipment on schedule across hundreds or thousands of miles. Every truck is GPS-tracked, every shipment is inventoried, and every customer gets a dedicated move coordinator who stays with them from the first phone call through the final walkthrough at the new front door.
Residential Long-Distance Moving
Whether you’re relocating for a new job, downsizing, or moving closer to family, Reebie’s residential long-distance division is built around one goal: getting your life to its new address in the same condition it left the old one.
Our services include:
- Pre-move consultation and a detailed, written moving plan
- Full-service packing and unpacking, including specialty crating for fragile or high-value items
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly at your new home
- GPS-tracked shipments with real-time updates

Families searching for long distance movers Chicago residents trust usually want the same three things: honest pricing up front, a single point of contact, and a crew that shows up when they say they will. That’s the baseline Reebie was built on.
Corporate & Commercial Long-Distance Relocation
Business moves come with their own pressure: downtime costs money, and a delayed IT setup or missing filing cabinet can throw off an entire department. Reebie’s commercial team manages long-distance office and industrial relocations with the same discipline used for household moves, scaled up:
- Coordinated moves across multiple offices or sites
- Specialized handling for IT equipment, servers, and electronics
- Secure chain-of-custody protocols for sensitive documents
- Heavy machinery and industrial equipment transport
- Detailed inventory reporting so nothing gets lost in transition
Companies that need dependable Chicago movers for a multi-site relocation typically bring Reebie in early, since planning ahead is what keeps a corporate move from turning into a fire drill.
Vehicle Shipping & Storage Support
Long-distance moves often involve more than furniture. Reebie also offers:
- Vehicle Shipping: Open or enclosed transport, door-to-door or terminal-to-terminal service, GPS tracking, and insurance options for cars, motorcycles, and boats, including specialty handling for classic and luxury vehicles.
- Storage Solutions: Climate-controlled facilities for short-term or long-term storage at either end of your move, with inventory systems that make retrieval simple whenever you're ready. It's one more reason households keep choosing Long Distance Movers Chicago has relied on for storage and transport under one roof.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the cheapest way to move long distance?
Long-distance pricing is largely weight-based, so purging items you don’t need before the move is the single biggest lever you control. Beyond that: source free packing materials where you can, book during the off-season (fall or winter tends to run cheaper than summer), and ship lighter items like books separately through media mail if your timeline allows it.
What items shouldn't be moved long distance?
Movers generally won’t transport hazardous materials (aerosol cans, fire extinguishers, batteries), perishable food, explosives, corrosives like battery acid, anything flammable such as charcoal or lighter fluid, live plants, or pets. Your coordinator will walk through the full list during your consultation so there are no surprises on moving day.
How long does a long-distance move actually take?
Most interstate moves take somewhere between ten days and two weeks from pickup to delivery, though distance, weather, and route conditions can shift that timeline in either direction.
How much should I budget for a long-distance move?
Costs typically fall between $2,400 and $5,000 depending on shipment weight and distance, though that range covers the moving company’s services only. Plan separately for packing supplies and any personal travel expenses along the way.
How far in advance should I book my move?
Six to eight weeks ahead is a safe window, especially if you’re moving during peak season (late spring through summer), when trucks and crews book up fast.
What happens if my delivery is delayed?
It’s recommended to book your long-distance move at least 6–8 weeks in advance to secure your preferred moving date, especially during peak seasons.
Do I need a written estimate before booking?
Yes. Always get a written, in-home or virtual estimate rather than a phone quote. It protects you from surprise charges and gives you an accurate number to plan around.
