Our Story
From humble beginnings to community leaders - here's how Route 66 Haul & Move became your trusted local partner
Founded on Community Values
Route 66 Haul & Move started in 2018 when founder Mike Johnson saw his elderly neighbor struggling to remove old furniture from her home. What began as a simple act of kindness grew into a mission to serve our entire community with the same care and respect we'd show our own family.
Today, we're proud to be Illinois' most trusted junk removal service, but we've never forgotten our roots. Every job we complete, every donation we make, and every community event we support reflects our commitment to being more than just a business - we're your neighbors.
Our Mission
