I’m Wes Kuhlman, owner of Nu Day Moving. Dates seldom cooperate. The Mahomet builder swears it’ll be Friday and hands over the keys three weeks late, the buyers slide the closing, the Campustown lease runs out before the next one’s signed. Since 2015 I’ve spared families the ordeal of renting their own unit and ferrying a load across town through every bit of that.

One crew across the whole gap

Out of the old place, into our hands, and back into the new one the day it opens — same trucks, same faces on both ends. Cole Rhoades keeps every in-and-out date on his board so no load gets lost in the shuffle once the cartons are stacked in storage.

Crew Rate When it applies
2 movers + truck $135/hr Loading in and out, smaller households
3 movers + truck $185/hr Larger households, quicker turnaround

What a storage bridge runs

Scenario Flat rate
One-bedroom held roughly a month $290 – $395 plus the storage fee
Three-bedroom held roughly a month $630 – $860 plus the storage fee
Waiting out a 2-6 week lease gap Priced to your household size
Riding out a builder’s late closing Priced to your household size
Redelivery from our storage to the new door Billed at the usual hourly

A storage bridge tends to fit one of a few situations we see all the time:

  • A builder in Savoy or Mahomet slides the closing past your move-out
  • Buyers on your current place push the paperwork a week or two
  • A Campustown or downtown lease ends before the next unit opens
  • You’re between jobs and simply need a soft place to land the furniture

The move and the hold ride on one quote — not a truck invoice and a facility statement showing up on their own separate due dates. And your cargo coverage, up to $1,000,000 per shipment, holds steady the entire time we’ve got your things.

Why prairie growth towns lean on it most

Savoy, Mahomet, and Monticello keep spinning up fresh subdivisions, and new construction is precisely where closing dates wander the furthest. We’ve stashed more than a few households for the couple of weeks a builder needed to finish out. Renters stuck between a Campustown or downtown lease reach for the same bridge when their next unit opens a week behind schedule.

Load-in and load-out on your dates

Delays keep no office hours, so we load in and out on evenings and weekends at the plain rate — you’ll find no overtime line anywhere. Cold-weather deliveries get ice-melt down before we carry a thing, and if a spring warning flares up Cole makes the reschedule call himself. Prefer everything sealed up before it’s stored? Begin with full-service packing. When it’s time to bring it back out, local moving handles across town and long-distance moving covers out of state. Price the whole bridge on the moving calculator.

Already Part of Your Flat Rate

Everything listed here rides along with the job as standard — none of it ever reappears as a surprise line on your bill.

  • $135/hr (two movers) or $185/hr (three) on both the load-out and the redelivery
  • A single flat rate covering both the move and the storage bridge
  • Built for lease gaps and Savoy or Mahomet new-construction delays
  • A dispatcher tracking your storage-in and storage-out dates
  • Evening and weekend pickup and delivery at the standard rate
  • Cargo coverage up to $1,000,000 while your things are with us
  • Pads, dollies, and shrink-wrap included on both trips
  • No separate storage facility to find, rent, or drive to yourself

Common Questions

Are you a moving company?
Yes — Nu Day Moving is a fully licensed and insured Champaign, IL moving company running our own trucks and uniformed crew, with an Illinois Commerce Commission household-goods license and US DOT and MC authority.
What's the typical stretch you'll hold a household before redelivery?
Most bridges land in the two-to-six-week range, tied to a closing or a lease gap. Should a builder push well beyond that, we'll sit down and work out extending the hold with you.
Our Mahomet new-build closing slipped again — where does that leave us?
This is precisely the scenario it's built for. Cole stretches the storage window and keeps your load-out date open — new-subdivision slippage out here is so routine we simply plan around it.
Do I owe you separately for the hauling and the storage, or is it combined?
It's combined. The hauling and the holding period get quoted as one flat figure up front, so you'll never see a standalone facility charge land later on its own timetable.
Are Saturday redeliveries out of storage possible?
They are, and a weekend delivery costs no more than a weekday. Evenings and Saturdays carry zero overtime markup anywhere on our board.
Does the insurance stay active while my things sit in your storage?
It does. Up to $1,000,000 of cargo coverage per shipment protects the load through every day it's with us — no gap between the driving legs and the stretch it spends in storage.
