“Ross and andrew did an amazing job! Efficient!!!!”

I’m Wes Kuhlman, owner of Nu Day Moving. Three interstates fan out of Champaign — I-57 heads north into Chicago, I-74 runs east toward Indianapolis and west to Peoria, and I-72 cuts over to Springfield. Every long haul I schedule hangs off one of those spines, and Deshawn Prather keeps a single truck on your load from curb to curb.
Building your total
The hours my crew works loading and unloading bill at our two standard rates. Mileage plus the volume of house you’re relocating set the flat figure, put in writing at your Champaign curb before anyone drives off. Cole Rhoades packs the trailer so the whole trip runs as one clean push instead of a scramble on either doorstep.
| Crew | Rate at each end | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $135/hr | Apartments and smaller households |
| 3 movers + truck | $185/hr | Larger homes, faster load times |
Routes we actually run out of Champaign
These are the corridors we drive most from East Central Illinois. After we’ve gone over what’s coming with you, your written quote settles into one of these bands:
| Route from Champaign | Distance | Flat-rate range |
|---|---|---|
| Champaign to Indianapolis, IN | ~120 mi | $1,800 – $2,400 |
| Champaign to Chicago, IL | ~135 mi | $1,900 – $2,550 |
| Champaign to St. Louis, MO | ~175 mi | $2,150 – $2,850 |
| Champaign to Nashville, TN | ~350 mi | $3,100 – $4,050 |
| Champaign to Pensacola, FL (snowbird haul) | ~800 mi | $5,400 – $7,200 |
That long southern run is real — we make the Champaign-to-Pensacola snowbird trip every season, not just quote it. Protection opens at $0.60/lb released-value, climbs to full-value coverage, and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment stays documented for the entire drive.
Your crew stays your crew, door to door
Whoever loads your truck in Champaign is who walks it into the new place. Your shipment never gets parked at some depot and passed off to a stranger down I-57. Deshawn anchors that same crew to your load the whole way, and that continuity is exactly what keeps furniture in one piece. On every haul that comes down to:
- The same faces load in Champaign and carry into your new place
- Your written flat total is locked before the truck leaves the curb
- Coverage runs from $0.60/lb released-value up to full-value protection
- Up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage per shipment stays on file the whole way
Fitted to your calendar and the forecast
Transfer dates and closings almost never fall on a neat Tuesday, so a Saturday departure carries the same rate as any weekday. And because these routes slice right through prairie storm country, Cole tracks the sky — a severe-weather warning earns a phone call to reschedule, never a gamble. Feed your numbers into the moving calculator before you commit. Want it all boxed before we pull out? That’s full-service packing. Closing dates a week apart? Short-term storage covers the middle, and the home page fills in the rest.
