01 Overview

Chicago is our main Midwest run, and it’s a real long-haul out of Wayne, about 760 miles that we treat as a two-to-three-day move depending on the size of the home. We load on the Main Line, head west on I-76, pick up I-80 across the rest of Pennsylvania and through Ohio and Indiana, and roll into the Chicago metro on a scheduled delivery window we set when you book.

Heading out of state? Premier Movers runs the whole haul on one truck and one flat price.

Because the distance puts this in multi-day territory, the things that protect your move are a dedicated truck and a delivery window we actually keep. We don’t transfer your load to a shared trailer or leave it sitting in a yard to fill, so the date we give you is the date we deliver. Our long-distance lead crew chief has driven the I-80 corridor many times and knows where the long, slow stretches are, which keeps the timing honest from the start.

The Chicago end has its own demands, and we plan for them before the truck leaves Bryn Mawr or Paoli. High-rises along the lake want a Certificate of Insurance and a reserved freight elevator and dock window, while the classic three-flats of Logan Square, Lincoln Park, and Wicker Park mean walk-ups and tight street parking. Our crews carry walk-ups every week on Main Line stone houses, so a Chicago three-flat is familiar work. You get one binding flat rate covering the full drive, tolls, fuel, and labor on both ends, with a $150 deposit credited to your final bill.

Included on the Chicago run

  • Scheduled multi-day delivery window set at booking

  • High-rise COI, elevator, and dock time arranged ahead

  • Dedicated truck, no shared load or yard wait

What to expect on this route · ~760 mi

Common questions on this route

Is Wayne to Chicago a multi-day move?
Yes. At about 760 miles it's a two-to-three-day move depending on home size. We load on the Main Line, head west on I-76 and pick up I-80 across Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana into Chicago, and deliver on a scheduled window. Our own truck runs it straight, so the window holds.
What route do you take heading west?
Out of Wayne we take I-76 west, connect to I-80 across the middle of the state, and run the long Midwest stretch through Ohio and Indiana into the Chicago metro. It's a steady interstate haul our long-distance lead has driven many times.
Can you get into a Chicago high-rise or three-flat?
Yes, and we set it up beforehand. Chicago high-rises want a COI and a reserved freight elevator and dock time, and three-flats in Logan Square or Lincoln Park mean walk-ups and tight parking. We arrange the building side and bring crews who do walk-ups every week.
