For 100 years, Jackson Moving & Storage has been the Chicago area’s most trusted name in relocation. Since our founding, we have guided families, individuals, and businesses through some of life’s most significant transitions, building a reputation grounded in reliability, expertise, and genuine care for every customer we serve. What began as a local moving operation has grown into a full-service moving and storage company with a global reach, and through it all, one thing has never changed: our commitment to making your move as smooth and stress-free as possible.
100 Years of Experience Behind Every Move
When you hire a moving company, experience matters more than almost anything else. It means your team has encountered every type of home, every kind of neighborhood, every challenging staircase, fragile heirloom, and cross-country distance imaginable, and handled them all with skill. At Jackson Moving & Storage, that experience spans a full century. Since our earliest days serving the greater Chicago area, we have continuously refined our craft, invested in our people, and expanded our capabilities to meet the evolving needs of our customers.
Over the past 100 years, we have moved countless families from the suburbs of Naperville and Franklin Park to destinations across the country and around the world. We have helped businesses relocate offices, manage corporate transfers, and coordinate large-scale commercial moves. We have safely transported fine art, antiques, sensitive documents, and everything in between. That breadth of experience is not something you can find just anywhere, and it’s at the foundation of everything we do.

North American Van Lines has been rated number one in satisfaction by relocating employees for six consecutive years according to Trippel’s Employee Relocation Survey, a recognition that speaks directly to the quality of care customers experience throughout the moving process.

A Team Built on Professionalism and Trust
Our team is one of our greatest assets. Every crew member at Jackson Moving & Storage undergoes a thorough background check before joining our workforce. Our movers arrive in uniform, which means you will always know exactly who is in your home or office. We take the trust our customers place in us seriously, and we work hard to earn it from the very first phone call through the final delivery.
Our people bring real expertise to every job. Whether you need a single apartment relocated across town or a full household moved across several states, our crews work efficiently and carefully, treating your belongings with the same respect they would show their own. Our fleet of trucks and trailers is large enough to accommodate jobs of any size, and we are available around the clock to meet tight timelines and demanding schedules. When you need movers who show up prepared and finish the job right, Jackson Moving & Storage delivers.
Specialized Services for Every Type of Move
No two moves are the same, and over the past 100 years, we have developed the expertise to handle them all. Whether you are planning a local move within the Chicago suburbs, a long-distance relocation across the country, or an international move to another continent, we have the capabilities and the connections to make it happen.
Our residential moving services are tailored to the specific needs of each household. We handle full-service packing for customers who want every item professionally wrapped and boxed, as well as fragile-only packing for those who prefer to manage most of their belongings themselves while leaving the most breakable items to our specialists. We offer loading, transport, unloading, and furniture assembly and installation at the destination.
For businesses, our corporate relocation services are designed to minimize downtime and disruption. From coordinating employee moves to relocating entire office environments, we understand that commercial transitions require precision, speed, and a high level of coordination. Our team works closely with corporate clients to develop customized relocation plans that keep operations moving.
Our small shipment program gives customers with fewer items the same quality of service available to those with large households. And for customers in the middle of a transition who need a place to keep their belongings safe, our state-of-the-art storage facilities offer hundreds of thousands of square feet of secure space for household items, business inventory, documents, and more.
