What drives the price

Why moving truck pricing costs what it does in Des Plaines

O'Hare-area hotels, the Elk Grove industrial park and the tollway network mean rental and box-truck traffic is constant out here rather than seasonal. A loaded truck needs a weight-rated wrecker, and confirming the size and the load before dispatch is what keeps the right truck from arriving.

Two tollways cross this city, O'Hare is immediately south, and Rivers Casino runs around the clock, so demand here does not stop at business hours. I-90 and I-294 supply the highway work; River Road, Mannheim and Touhy supply the surface work.

Local context

How we work Des Plaines

Des Plaines holds 60,675 residents and sits immediately north of O'Hare International Airport, which is what turned it from a river town into a suburb after the Second World War. Two interstates cross it, I-90, the Jane Addams and formerly the Northwest Tollway, and I-294, the Tri-State, and River Road, Mannheim Road, Touhy Avenue and Golf Road carry the surface traffic between them. Rivers Casino opened here in July 2011 after the city approved the zoning in 2010, and a 24-hour casino changes the shape of a night: the calls that come in at three in the morning are lockouts and dead batteries in a parking structure, not highway recovery. The city is also where American Airlines Flight 191 came down in 1979, just north of Touhy Avenue. Worth knowing for anyone reading weather here: the National Weather Service's official Chicago observations are taken at O'Hare next door, so the 38.4 inch annual snow normal and the 121 nights a year at or below freezing are literally this city's numbers. Operators cover both tollways, the O'Hare hotel and cargo belt, and the casino district.

Des Plaines pricing FAQs

Common Des Plaines cost questions

How much does towing a moving truck cost in Des Plaines?

Towing a rental or loaded moving truck in Des Plaines is quoted before dispatch, because a cargo van and a loaded 26-foot box truck need completely different equipment. Tell us the size, the rental company and whether it is loaded, and we line up an operator with a weight-rated wrecker for it.

Do you tow U-Haul, Penske, or Budget rental trucks in Des Plaines?

Yes, the network covers all major rental brands in Des Plaines. Tell us the size and whether it's loaded or empty so we send the right weight-rated equipment the first time.

Can you tow a loaded moving truck in Des Plaines, or does it need to be emptied first?

It can be towed loaded in Des Plaines if the weight is within the wrecker's rating, which we confirm on the call. For an especially heavy load, we may recommend a heavy-duty truck instead, quoted separately.

What if my moving truck breaks down mid-move in Des Plaines?

Call (773) 830-6930 and tell dispatch your location and the truck size. We'll line up a weight-rated wrecker for Des Plaines and quote the tow before dispatch, so your move doesn't stall longer than it has to.
