Street / curb / building access. Chicago-suburb townhomes, HOAs, alley loading, and long driveways often need elevator reservations and building COI. Treat COI, freight-elevator windows, and dock rules as building / HOA / condominium requirements. Temporary curb tools are not the ICC/ILCC HHG gate.

Curb rules, peak season, and Midwest weather
HOA / condo loading windows
Ask the property about COI naming, freight-elevator windows, and dock rules. Suburban alleys and condo buildings can add long-carry time.
COI and freight elevators

Peak season
Midwest planning note: summer or end-of-month often 10% to 20% higher; midweek often 5% to 10% lower than a weekend; winter often 5% to 15% lower when weather risk is manageable; last-minute booking can add 10% or more. Copy labels; do not average those percentages.
Midwest weather (Glen Ellyn / Illinois)
MCHQ Illinois pages print Midwest bullets: snow, ice, spring storms, and basement access can change labor time; long suburban driveways and alley access can affect truck positioning; costs often improve outside peak summer and end-of-month dates.
