The Cost of Hiring Movers in Dekalb, IL
On average, it costs $356.88 to hire moving helpers in Dekalb, IL. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Dekalb, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $83.88.
These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.
The Cost of Full-Service Moving
The average cost of a local full-service move in Dekalb, IL is $1,005.00, with an average hourly rate of $143.85. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.
Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

The movers (2) unloaded our truck under 2 hours. They were very professional and personable. I was amazed how quick they were and the price to unload was very reasonable. Will definitely use them for my next move!
Both young men worked very hard and did an outstanding job. They arrived when they said they would, got to work right away, and didn’t stop until the job was done. They handled my furniture with care and placed everything in the right places. Very nice, courteous young men. I would definitely hire them again!
They were quick and took care of our possessions. Plus, after they left, a new neighbor said they were very polite and respectful with the elevator and ares. Another neighbor said Shamaiah was very nice too.
The guys did an awesome job! They unloaded a 28’ trailer in 2.5 hours flat even though the truck was missing the ramp. Could not recommend them any higher!
Movers were great guys who worked their tail off all day. They were great at taking care of my items and packed the truck like experts. Would hire again with no hesitation.
Oscar and Kendrick did a fantastic job! They brought up all the items quickly and efficiently while also asking where to place things and even assembled some items for me. Great job.
We had a good overall experience! Both Tyrone and Darnell were polite, had a positive attitude, worked hard, and performed a masterful job in moving our furniture with care - and professionally packing the POD so that everything fit neatly within. I would hire these two gentleman again.
I used them for packing a container. Great communication from the moment I booked to our scheduled time. Texted status and answered my questions before packing date Arrived promptly and worked the entire time. Did a great job of wrapping and packing all of our furniture and boxes.
These guys came and got right after it and we're done faster than I could believe and my pod was packed so I'm sure that when it gets to my new home everything will be just like it was. Can't recommend these guys as high as they deserve, five stars just isn't enough!
Were here ready to unload POD. THOUGHTFUL of my possessions. Friendly, sorted items out they thought would go in garage rather than house. They were both great.
John 3:16 movers were fantastic! The three hardest workers around! Victor, Julius and Don did an amazing job unloading our POD and placing our furniture in the right rooms! All are very friendly and willing to do whatever we asked while moving everything in our new home! Thank you!! Joyce & Rich
Very professional, polite and respectful men. They got the move done fast and easy. We will still use the same company when we move to our new home in two months.
