Moving from Joliet to Alexandria is a long-distance move of roughly 723 road miles, heading east from Illinois to Virginia.
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 $4,130 to $6,150 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 13 h 10 min.
On the Joliet side there are 694 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (561 of them authorized for interstate work), and 1,203 around Alexandria (740 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 Alexandria.
Joliet has a population of about 152,241 and Alexandria about 160,662. Alexandria is the denser city (10,702 people per square mile versus 2,331 in Joliet), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day.
