Elgin sits about 981 miles north of Tallahassee, which makes this an interstate relocation from Florida to Illinois 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 $4,740 to $7,050 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 17 h 37 min.
On the Tallahassee side there are 121 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (55 of them authorized for interstate work), and 404 around Elgin (329 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 Elgin.
Tallahassee has a population of about 204,902 and Elgin about 115,476. Elgin is the denser city (3,021 people per square mile versus 1,944 in Tallahassee), which often means shuttle trucks, parking restrictions or building move-in windows on delivery day. Note that Illinois does collect a state income tax, unlike Florida, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
