Two ranked movers with Arlington Heights pins

Two of the six ranked movers for Arlington Heights list a Google Maps address inside the village. Falcon Moving, the #1 pick, shows 5 stars from 218 Google reviews at 3209 N Wilke Rd #107 (60004). Boyer-Rosene Moving & Storage, at #5, lists at 2638 S Clearbrook Dr (60005) with 4.7 from 274.

The two cards read very differently. Falcon's is set at 10.0 on the guide's five experience bars, with a Maps score of 9.4 behind it, and it carries ILCC 216214 MC and USDOT 3360367. Boyer-Rosene's overall is 7.4 and was not adjusted: quote-matched and easy-to-reach both scored 10, but care came in at 4 and on-time at 5. It holds ILCC 24487 MC and USDOT 153395. A local pin is one factor; those two low bars are another, and both belong in the comparison.

Northwest-suburban alternatives and a licence warning

Alliance Moving & Storage (#4) lists in neighbouring Rolling Meadows with 4.8 from 867, though its on-time bar scored 7. Two Men and a Truck (#2, 4.8 from 765) and Good Move Movers (#3, 4.8 from 359) work from DuPage listings in Glendale Heights and Elmhurst. M.K. Movers fills #6 from Batavia and is disclosed as not Arlington Heights-local. The Professionals, previously #6, dropped to also-compared.

Ampol, an Arlington Heights name, prints an ILCC but had no matching ACTIVE USDOT at the time of the update, so it could not pass the gate. Under this guide's method a printed state number is not enough by itself; it has to sit alongside an ACTIVE SAFER record on the same legal name.

Cost range across 60004, 60005 and 60006

For Arlington Heights, the guide's local band is $725 to $2,450, averaging $1,585. Long-distance moves run $2,450 to $7,100, averaging $4,775. None of the ranked companies publishes an hourly price list.

The village has 75,472 residents spread over three ZIP codes and areas such as Scarsdale, Berkley Square, Lake Arlington and Northgate. Put your exact ZIP, inventory, stairs, elevator and parking details on every estimate request so each mover is pricing the same job. Several brands use a different legal name on SAFER: Two Men and a Truck is PAUL M BROWN & ASSOCIATES INC and Alliance is HK&RP LLC, so those are the names to match against the ILCC.

How does Moving Company HQ rank Arlington Heights IL movers?
Gate = printed Illinois ILCC HHG on the same legal name plus SAFER ACTIVE with Household Goods cargo (interstate claims also need AUTHORIZED FOR Motor Carrier of Household Goods).

Companies cannot buy a rank. ILCC numbers are as published (as published by the company) — never invented.
Do I need an Illinois ICC Household Goods License to hire a local mover?
For Illinois in-state household-goods moves, ask for a printed Illinois Commerce Commission Household Goods license (ILCC / ILL.C.C.) on the same legal name you see on SAFER. Interstate jobs also need SAFER ACTIVE with Motor Carrier of Household Goods authority and Protect Your Move. This guide’s #1 (Falcon Moving) shows ILCC 216214 MC (as published by the company).
Why are some ranked movers listed outside the city?
After ranking movers with a pin in the city, this guide may fill remaining slots from highest overalls from movers with pins outside the city so shoppers still see strong Chicagoland SAFER+ILCC passers. Those cards disclose metro pin / not Arlington Heights-local. Prefer a mover with a pin in the city when locality matters.
What about Bernard, Midway, Ampol, or other names on the roster?
In this ranking, Falcon Moving is #1 and The Professionals moves to also-compared. Bernard Movers and Midway Moving & Storage scored but sit below / outside the six for Arlington Heights (often Chicago pins outside the city). Gate fails (brokers, property-except-HHG, wrong USDOT) and unknowns (no ILCC) are also-compared only. Ampol (Arlington Heights) prints an ILCC but had no matching ACTIVE USDOT at the time of this update — cannot pass without USDOT. Re-check SAFER and ICC before hiring.
