Movers from Lapeer to Chicago

About 330 miles cross-state on I-69 to I-94 around the lake, Lapeer to Chicago is a one to two day move on our own authority.

Chicago is roughly 330 miles from Lapeer and the busiest out-of-state lane we run after the Florida snowbird trips. We take I-69 to I-94 and ride it around the bottom of Lake Michigan, past Gary, into the city or the collar counties in Cook, DuPage, and Lake, from Naperville and Schaumburg to Evanston and Oak Park. A move this size is generally a one-day drive, with delivery that evening or the next morning depending on your building’s access. Because Pronto keeps its own US DOT and MC authority current, we are licensed to haul your household across the Indiana-Illinois line ourselves.

The crew that loads your home in Lapeer is the crew that unloads it in Chicago. We do not hand the shipment to a national van line, so it is one company, one phone number, and one written price from the first box to the last.

Chicago neighborhoods are strict about moving trucks. Blocks in Lincoln Park, Logan Square, and the Loop want a parking permit or a reserved dock, and high-rises only allow moves inside set elevator hours. Our office files the certificate of insurance for your building and helps you sort the timing so the truck is not circling for a legal spot.

Licensed for the haul ourselves

We plan the loading window before we leave Michigan, not after we arrive. With our own US DOT and MC authority there is no broker and no van-line handoff, just one GPS-tracked Pronto truck, a binding flat quote, and the $125 deposit credited to your total.

“We moved off Nepessing Street in the middle of an ice storm and I was sure the day would be a disaster. Travis's crew salted and laid down mats on the lot stairs before they touched a single box, and the truck was already loaded from the night before so they were unloading by noon. The $135/hr held exactly to what Kyle quoted me. Honestly the calmest move I've ever had.”

“Hired Pronto for our jump from Imlay City to a place off M-24. They quoted a flat band and that number never moved, even when we added a couple wardrobe boxes last minute. Marcus and the guys ran I-69 like they'd done it a hundred times and beat the afternoon traffic into Lapeer.”

“Our cottage on the lake has a brutal set of stairs down to the water side and I worried about the bedroom furniture. The crew padded everything and took the turns slow. Took about an hour longer than estimated because of the grade, but they'd warned me that might happen up front, so no complaints there. Fair price for the work.”
