Our specialists take on all the hassle of moving in Des Plaines — from packing and loading to transport and setting everything up at the new address. The base on Jackson Blvd is 19 miles out, about 32 minutes on a clear road.
People in Des Plaines move for the usual reasons — a job change, a bigger place on the other side of town, or a shorter commute to a relative in one of the Cook County suburbs. End-of-month weekends fill up fast and crews get booked days in advance. The drive from our Chicago base takes about 32 minutes, so the team does not spend half the day in traffic before the actual work starts.
Why Des Plaines Calls Moon Movers
Short DriveThe base is 19 miles from Des Plaines — the crew pulls up in roughly half an hour.
Moves within Des Plaines and to nearby suburbs — Skokie, Palatine, Evanston — on the same day. The crew loads, drives and unloads without handing the job off to a subcontractor. Moving east to Evanston works the same way, with one crew throughout.
Apartments and houses, from a studio to five bedrooms
A long-distance move from Des Plaines is loaded onto its own truck and sent directly, without stops at intermediate warehouses or consolidation with other people's cargo.
Packers use sheet cardboard for glass and mirrors, bubble wrap for appliances and stretch film for upholstered furniture. They can arrive the day before or the morning of the move — unused boxes are taken back.
When the move-in and move-out dates do not overlap, the belongings go into a monitored storage unit. The same crew that packed everything handles delivery to the new address.

Des Plaines Moves — Common Questions
The base on Jackson Blvd is about 19 road miles from Des Plaines. In the morning the drive takes around 32 minutes. The crew lead calls when they are roughly twenty minutes out, and travel time from Chicago is billed once, not both directions.
Both suburbs are close — Skokie is about 7 miles from Des Plaines and Palatine about 9. A move between any of them fits into a single working day without difficulty. The truck goes from one address straight to the other, no return trip to the base in between. If you are moving farther — say, to Schaumburg, 10 miles out — the same rule applies.
Yes, both residential ZIP codes. 60016 covers the north side and 60018 the south. The drive time from the base differs by only a couple of minutes between them. The crew reaches either part of Des Plaines in about half an hour on a normal morning.
Empty the drawers and take anything fragile off the shelves — the crew handles the rest. They inspect each piece for existing scratches together with you before anything is touched, disassemble what needs to come apart, wrap every item individually and secure it with straps in the truck. Reassembly at the new Des Plaines address follows the same order in reverse.

A Des Plaines Move from Start to Finish
What a regular two-bedroom job in Des Plaines looks like — from the truck leaving the yard on Jackson Blvd to the last piece of furniture placed in your new rooms.
The lead mover walks each room with you, notes any existing scratches on the furniture, marks what is being moved and what stays, and states the estimated hours.
09:30
Packing and loading
Each piece is wrapped and secured individually. Beds and wardrobes come apart, floors and doorframes are covered with cardboard before anything moves through.
13:00
Transport and unloading
The truck crosses Des Plaines or heads to the new address in a neighboring suburb. At the destination, boxes and furniture go into the rooms you specify — nothing is left in a pile by the entrance.
15:30
Assembly and handover
Beds and tables are reassembled, empty boxes flattened and taken away. You walk the rooms and sign off only after everything is in its place.
