I’m Wes Kuhlman, owner of Nu Day Moving, and Philo is a quiet little farm town just south of Urbana — close enough that it’s practically a short hop for my crew, small enough that it gets overlooked by the bigger outfits. We like it here. The moves range from tidy village homes to grain-country acreage, and the drive is short enough that it barely touches your quote.

Being so near Urbana, Philo is a common landing spot for families who want prairie quiet without giving up a quick commute back into town. We handle the in-town-to-Philo run all the time, loading one place and unloading the other the same day.

Village homes and near-Urbana properties a short drive south
Grain-country acreage with outbuilding and equipment loads
Same-day Urbana-to-Philo relocations at one flat rate

Philo’s a short run from our home base, and the flat rate reflects it — no inflated trip charge for a town we can reach in a few minutes, just an honest number in writing before we load.

Philo work books through our local moving crew, with full-pack service for the farmhouses. Straight west across the prairie, Tolono rounds out our southern coverage — and Urbana is right up the road for the other end of your move.

“These guys were great! I called last minute because my help had to leave and they sent some guys over within a few hours. Moved some large/heavy items from the upstairs of the old house into the upstairs of the new house. Would have really been in trouble without these guys. Very impressed.”

Moving to Philo — common questions

How much does the drive to Philo add, since it's so close to Urbana?

Almost nothing. Philo is a short hop south of our home base, so there's no inflated trip charge — the minimal drive is already inside your flat written rate.

Can you do a same-day move from Urbana out to Philo?

Easily. It's one of our most common short runs — we load in Urbana and unload in Philo the same afternoon, with the same crew handling both ends.

Do you move the farmhouses and acreage around Philo?

We do. Grain-country places come with outbuildings and equipment, and our crew loads those alongside the house, staging a smaller truck if the drive needs it.

What crew size should I book for a Philo move?

For a village home, two movers at $135 an hour usually does it. For a full farmhouse we'd lean toward three at $185 to keep the day short — we'll say honestly which fits.
