Moving from West Valley City to Aurora is a long-distance move of roughly 1,453 road miles, heading east from Utah to Illinois.
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 $5,950 to $8,850 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 25 hours (3 driving days).
On the West Valley City side there are 367 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (212 of them authorized for interstate work), and 824 around Aurora (675 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 Aurora.
West Valley City has a population of about 137,491 and Aurora about 181,505. The two cities have comparable density (3,917 and 4,012 people per square mile), so loading and unloading conditions are usually similar at both ends.

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.
Yes. Crossing from Utah into Illinois 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.
A one-way rental truck for this distance typically runs $2,090 to $2,950 including mileage and fuel, and a portable container about $2,320 to $3,410. 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.
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 West Valley City–Aurora corridor.
