In 1978, Paul and Judy Dreiske, started Dreiske Moving & Storage with a single moving truck in McHenry, Illinois. Paul had a vision for this company to become the local preferred choice for movers in the Chicagoland area, with a foundation based on providing the best service with excellence and integrity.
As a family owned and operated business, Paul and Judy’s son, Mike Dreiske, oversees our extensive fleet of moving trucks and employees as the CEO of Dreiske Moving & Storage. Under Mike’s direction, we’ve grown from a local household name to a moving company that operates all across the nation that also gives back to the community. When we aren’t moving families and businesses around the U.S., you can find our trucks and crew members volunteering with local non-profit organizations like the Alexander Leigh Center for Autism.
For more than 40 years, Dreiske Moving & Storage has provided professional services locally and nationally for thousands of customers. Our experience and commitment to overcoming challenges, finding solutions, and delivering excellent service has established us as the carrier of choice. Our hard work and professional service set us apart from our competitors.

We know that sometimes you’re ready to move, but your belongings aren’t. Because of that we offer a variety of different storage options. Whether you need storage at one of our locations long term or short term, overnight storage, or storage right in your own driveway, we have a solution for you.
We offer Vault Storage within our warehouse for short and long term storage. With Vault Storage our movers will load and move your goods to our warehouse using vaults that we bring to your home or office. Once at the warehouse, all of your goods are stored into vaults that are then shelved inside our warehouse for the duration of your needs. When you’re ready for delivery, we unload your goods into the spaces of your choosing.
We understand that many moves have special needs and requirements so we train our staff to handle anything and everything from carefully moving bulky items like pianos, pool tables, and hot tubs to being flexible in our schedule to exceed all of our clients’ expectations. In addition to our traditional residential and commercial moving services, we offer a range of other moving services, including O&I.

If you are moving to a different state, the charges will be based on the weight of your
shipment and mileage—these are referred to as the transportation charges.
There are a variety of different moving charges that can potentially appear on your estimate,
so be sure to ask your relocation specialist to explain each charge for you.
Some additional charges that may appear include packing, crating, valuation or coverage,
bulky article charge (for oversized items), and extra labor. Again, please be certain you
fully understand these charges so that you can accurately compare the estimates you receive.
All movers are required to prepare an order for service before they transport your shipment.
The order for service provides you with written confirmation of the moving services that you
requested to be performed in conjunction with your shipment. It also lists the agreed upon
dates for the pickup and delivery of your shipment and amount of valuation that you requested,
along with any special services that you ordered.
It also features a place and telephone number where the mover can contact you during the move.
Additionally, the order for service shows the charges that you will be assessed for your
household move or corporate relocation. If you are moving under a non-binding estimate,
the order for service will indicate the amount of the estimated non-binding charges,
the method of payment for the charges and, in cases where the actual charges exceed the
non-binding estimate, the maximum amount that you are required to pay at the time of delivery
in order to obtain possession of your shipment (you will have 30 days following delivery to
pay the balance of the charges due). If you are moving under a binding estimate,
the order for service will show the charges that you will be required to pay at delivery,
based on the binding estimate and the terms of payment. You and your mover must sign the
order for service.
