Reverse: Hollywood → Joliet

The route from Joliet, IL to Hollywood, FL covers roughly 1,372 miles by road, a southeast-bound trip that falls into the long-distance move category for pricing purposes.

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 $5,740 to $8,540 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 24 hours (3 driving days).

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 2,315 around Hollywood (807 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 Hollywood.

Joliet has a population of about 152,241 and Hollywood about 157,019. Hollywood is the denser city (5,607 people per square mile versus 2,331 in Joliet), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Florida levies no state income tax on wages, a frequent reason people make this exact move.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to move from Joliet to Hollywood?

Typical full-service estimates for this route are $2,300 to $3,420 for a studio, $3,440 to $5,120 for a one-bedroom, $5,740 to $8,540 for a two-bedroom, $9,180 to $13,660 for a three-bedroom and $12,630 to $18,790 for four or more bedrooms. Packing, storage, stairs and specialty items add to these figures.

How far is Hollywood from Joliet?

About 1,372 road miles (1,163 miles in a straight line). Driving without overnight stops takes roughly 24 hours (3 driving days).

How long will the movers take to deliver?

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.

Does my mover need interstate authority for this move?

Yes. Crossing from Illinois into Florida 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.

Is it cheaper to rent a truck or use a container for Joliet to Hollywood?

A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,010 to $2,840 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,240 to $3,300. 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.

When is the least expensive time to book this move?

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 Joliet–Hollywood corridor.
