Evanston, IL → Mobile, AL · Long-distance move
About 928 road miles heading south. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,330–$6,450, delivery in 2–5 days, 739 carriers on the Evanston side and 168 in Mobile.
Moving from Evanston to Mobile is a long-distance move of roughly 928 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 $4,330 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 16 h 42 min.
On the Evanston side there are 739 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (527 of them authorized for interstate work), and 168 around Mobile (103 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 Mobile.
Evanston has a population of about 78,000 and Mobile about 200,824. Evanston is considerably denser (10,041 people per square mile versus 1,341), 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.

About 928 road miles (786 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 16 h 42 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 Alabama 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 $1,400 to $1,980 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,850 to $2,720. 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 Evanston–Mobile corridor.
