About
U-Haul, a venerable name in the self-moving industry, was founded in 1945 by L.S. "Sam" Shoen and his wife, Anna Mary Carty Shoen. The idea blossomed from a personal need for one-way moving equipment, leading to the creation of a business model that profoundly changed the moving industry. Based in Phoenix, Arizona, since 1967, U-Haul has grown into a giant with locations across the U.S. and Canada. It offers a wide range of services including truck and trailer rentals, self-storage, U-Box containers, moving supplies, and hitch installations. Distinguished by its vast network of dealers and its status as the largest installer of permanent trailer hitches in the automotive aftermarket sector, U-Haul has maintained its dominance by focusing on convenient, customer-oriented solutions like the U-Haul Truck Share 24/7 program. It celebrated its 75th anniversary in 2020, showcasing its long-standing commitment to facilitating the do-it-yourself mover. The provided crawl data was useful as it contained detailed company information, history, services, and significant milestones essential for an accurate description.

How we ranked the top Illinois movers
Why you should trust us
We take reviews seriously to protect people just like you! Our team has been crunching data on moving companies since 2010. Our math-based ranking system uses data, manual review, and statistical analysis to help you hire the best movers in Illinois.
Rating Methodology
Here's the methodology we used to come up with the best movers in Illinois:
Our original review-based ranking algorithm
We started with a total of 741 companies that offer moving services in the Illinois area.
From these 741 companies, we analyzed a total of 167,613 reviews dating all the way back to August 2005.
We also reviewed a total of 124 state and federal moving licenses from these 741 companies and 1,937 different 3rd party review and social profiles.
Each of the ~167,000 reviews was scored according to our detailed 11-point rating criteria
This gave us a total of 432,577 data points to compute individual company scores.
Reviews are time-weighted so that more recent reviews carry more weight. This helps you understand how a mover is doing today... not 5 years ago. We have 27,945 Peoria moving company data points from the past 2 years that carry more weight.
Bayesian averages calculated to fairly account for the differences between companies that are newer.
