Concord, NH → Joliet, IL · Long-distance move
About 1,007 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,940–$7,350, delivery in 3–7 days, 52 carriers on the Concord side and 694 in Joliet.
Moving from Concord to Joliet is a long-distance move of roughly 1,007 road miles, heading west from New Hampshire to Illinois.
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 $4,940 to $7,350 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 3 to 7 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 18 h 4 min.
On the Concord side there are 52 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (40 of them authorized for interstate work), and 694 around Joliet (561 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 Joliet.
Concord has a population of about 45,000 and Joliet about 152,241. Joliet is the denser city (2,331 people per square mile versus 688 in Concord), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike New Hampshire, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.

About 1,007 road miles (853 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 18 h 4 min.
Expect a delivery window of 3 to 7 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 New Hampshire into Illinois 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 $1,480 to $2,100 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,920 to $2,820. 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 Concord–Joliet corridor.
