About 788 road miles heading west. Typical two-bedroom cost $4,300–$6,400, delivery in 2–5 days, 152 carriers on the Fredericksburg side and 42 in Peoria.
Moving from Fredericksburg to Peoria is a long-distance move of roughly 788 road miles, heading west from Virginia 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 $4,300 to $6,400 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 17 min.
On the Fredericksburg side there are 152 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (107 of them authorized for interstate work), and 42 around Peoria (29 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 Peoria.
Fredericksburg has a population of about 28,000 and Peoria about 110,920. The two cities have comparable density (2,678 and 2,357 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

About 788 road miles (668 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 14 h 17 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 Virginia 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 $1,110 to $1,570 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $1,720 to $2,530. 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 Fredericksburg–Peoria corridor.
