The route from Meridian, ID to Champaign, IL covers roughly 1,723 miles by road, a east-bound trip that falls into the cross-country 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 $6,370 to $9,480 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 5 to 10 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 30 hours (4 driving days).
On the Meridian side there are 176 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (130 of them authorized for interstate work), and 70 around Champaign (50 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 Champaign.
Meridian has a population of about 142,988 and Champaign about 90,000. The two cities have comparable density (3,351 and 3,835 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.
