Chicago, IL → Newport News, VA · Long-distance move
About 802 road miles heading southeast. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,340–$6,450, delivery in 2–5 days, 2,923 carriers on the Chicago side and 168 in Newport News.
Newport News sits about 802 miles southeast of Chicago, which makes this an interstate relocation from Illinois to Virginia that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
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 $4,340 to $6,450 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 32 min.
On the Chicago side there are 2,923 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (2,209 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Newport News (89 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 Newport News.
Chicago has a population of about 2.7 million and Newport News about 183,230. Chicago is considerably denser (12,061 people per square mile versus 2,699), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.

About 802 road miles (680 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 32 min.
Expect a delivery window of 2 to 5 days after pickup. Carriers give a spread rather than a fixed date because long-distance trucks carry several shipments; a dedicated truck or expedited service shortens the window for an extra fee.
Yes. Crossing from Illinois into Virginia makes this an interstate move, so the carrier must hold active FMCSA operating authority (an MC number) in addition to its USDOT number. The company cards on this page flag which carriers are authorized for interstate work.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $1,120 to $1,590 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,740 to $2,550. Both save money versus a full-service crew but you do the loading, and container transit can take longer than a mover's delivery window.
Rates are highest in summer and around the last days of any month, when demand peaks. Mid-month, mid-week and winter dates are usually quoted below the standard rate. Booking four to eight weeks ahead gives you the widest choice of carriers on the Chicago–Newport News corridor.
