Your Chicago move,
booked in minutes

Moving in Chicago starts when you book through Marco. From there, your move gets matched with a local crew, and the team handles coordination, paperwork, and updates around details like elevator reservations and major corridor traffic. The matched crew does the lifting and transport while everything else flows through the team.

Local, apartment, office, furniture, same-day, and long-distance moves are all available through Marco in Chicago. After you book, your move gets matched with a local crew based on your building, timing, and inventory, and the team handles coordination and updates around details like elevator reservations and major corridor traffic. What fits your situation depends on the building, timing, and items, and the matched crew handles the physical work.

Booking 3-4 weeks ahead is the sweet spot for lining up your preferred date. That gives you enough time to obtain residential moving permits and coordinate loading dock times with your building. The earlier you reach out, the better the odds of getting the exact window you need.

Same-day requests in Chicago come down to what's available and how your access lines up. Share your items, your building rules, and the window you need to be out, and the team works to confirm a local crew that can hit it. Last-minute moves stay organized when the details come in early.

Residential moving permits and temporary no-parking signs are highly recommended for street access. You will need to obtain these in advance through the city to give the truck a legal place to park. Having clear street access prevents delays and keeps the loading process moving smoothly.

Commercial trucks are not allowed on Lake Shore Drive. The matched crew will use designated truck routes or expressways like the Kennedy or Eisenhower to navigate the city. Factoring in these route limits helps keep the transit time accurate.

Extreme winter conditions and high winds can slow down loading and transit times. When storms hit, the focus shifts to safety, keeping walkways clear, and protecting your items from the elements. The team keeps you updated on any timing shifts caused by the weather.

Pianos and other specialty pieces require the right crew and gear. Tell the team early about the item's weight, dimensions, stairs, and tight corners so your move can be matched with a partner crew set up for heavy pieces. Sharing photos of the access points also helps ensure a smooth process.
