Moving from Aurora to Montgomery is a long-distance move of roughly 779 road miles, heading south from Illinois to Alabama.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $3,970 to $5,910 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 14 h 8 min.
On the Aurora side there are 824 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (675 of them authorized for interstate work), and 172 around Montgomery (94 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Montgomery.
Aurora has a population of about 181,505 and Montgomery about 195,300. Aurora is considerably denser (4,012 people per square mile versus 1,255), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Alabama than in Illinois, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home.
