North American Van Lines: The Best of Joliet Moving Companies

Located just 40 miles outside of the heart of Chicago, Joliet is a delightful location ideal for people who enjoy living the suburbs but want to work and play in the big city. Locals can enjoy a relatively uncongested hometown (there were about 148,000 residents in 2012), while having easy access to the museums, restaurants and other attractions of the metropolis. In fact, many residents take Metra’s Rock Island District and Heritage Corridor trains into Union Station for access to the Windy City for leisure during the weekends or work during the weekdays; however. downtown is also easily accessible by car via Interstate 290.

Known for its blue collar culture, Joliet has worked hard to build its reputation as a tourist site. Some of the major sites that have been erected over more recently include the two riverboat casinos afloat in the Des Plains River as well as the Chicagoland Speedway, where NASCAR races are held in summer. These spots bring in visitors from other suburbs and the city, but another unique feature is the Joliet Correctional Center - television and fans from across the country stop by this prison to see the spot where several famed shows and movies, such as “Prison Break” and “The Blues Brothers,” were filmed.

  • The crew del my items earlier than I expected. The crew pack and loaded my items very efficiently. I was surprised at how quick my service was completed.

The people that came were very clean and made sure to put blankets down and protect things, the delivery guys were pretty good as well, the driver when he got to the new location he spoke with the neighbors and explained what he was doing, he was just very professional.
