Grand Junction sits about 1,282 miles west of Joliet, which makes this an interstate relocation from Illinois to Colorado 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 $5,670 to $8,430 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 22 h 48 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 67 around Grand Junction (30 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 Grand Junction.
Joliet has a population of about 152,241 and Grand Junction about 70,000. Joliet is considerably denser (2,331 people per square mile versus 1,614), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination.
