Pickup and delivery across Cook County and carriers on I-94. We plan regular routes to Chicago and Milwaukee.
Evanston is a city in the Chicago–Naperville–Elgin metro, roughly 14 miles north of Chicago. The city is in Cook County. Its 2023 Census estimate is roughly 75,100 people.
Car carriers reach Evanston on I-94, and US-41 also serves the area. Home to Northwestern University, Evanston sees spikes in demand around move-in and move-out weeks.
Lake Michigan is close by, and lake-effect snow is part of winter planning. Winters are fairly mild, so scheduling depends more on summer storms and holiday demand than on snow.
Chicago, the largest city in Illinois, is about 14 miles south in a straight line. Within a short drive are Skokie (2 mi), Cicero (14 mi), and Chicago (14 mi). The closest major out-of-state market is Milwaukee, WI, about 72 miles away.
Straight-line distances are shown for comparison. Road miles and timing come with your quote, and every route works in both directions.
A 14-mile in-state move south to Chicago. Carriers often pair it with other loads on the same corridor. Chicago gets real winters, so leave slack in December through February.
Roughly 72 miles north across the state line, a short in-region hop. Milwaukee gets real winters, so leave slack in December through February.
A winter destination about 1,116 miles south. Book early for October through December departures.
A 1,883-mile cross-country run west. Long hauls like this are scheduled in pickup windows, not exact days. San Francisco sits near the Pacific coast.
A long-distance, multi-day haul, around 1,726 miles northwest, with steady two-way relocation traffic. Seattle sits near the Pacific coast.
A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Evanston. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.
Demand around Northwestern University peaks in late summer and at the end of the spring term. Book early if you're moving at those times, and check whether campus lots allow a carrier.
Lake-effect snow can delay pickups. Rinse off road salt before the inspection so the condition report is accurate, and make sure the battery is strong.
If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-94 is often the quickest handoff point in Evanston.

Open transport works well for most everyday cars and is the more affordable option. Enclosed transport protects luxury, classic or freshly detailed vehicles from road salt and winter grime along the way.
