That can sometimes lead to low \u201cteaser\u201d quotes that increase later if the move is larger or more complex than what was described over the phone. When problems arise, communication can also get confusing because you booked with one company, but a different company is actually handling your items.<\/p>\n
What is an actual moving company?<\/h2>\n
An actual moving company (also called a carrier) is the business that owns the trucks, employs the crews, and physically moves your belongings. For interstate moves, these companies must be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA)<\/a>, carry proper insurance, and follow federal consumer\u2011protection rules. That means providing written estimates, required brochures about your rights, and clear paperwork before anything is loaded.<\/p>\n Local, full\u2011service movers can also offer packing, short\u2011 and long\u2011term storage, specialty item handling, and a single point of contact to help you plan each step. You know who is coming to your home, you can check their reviews under their own name, and you can verify their USDOT and MC numbers directly with FMCSA.<\/p>\n Dodge Moving & Storage<\/a> is not a broker\u2014we are a St. Louis moving company that has been serving families, seniors, and businesses since 1902. Our own professional crews, modern fleet, and secure storage facilities in the metro area allow us to manage your move from start to finish, rather than handing you off to an unknown third party.<\/p>\n As a Mayflower agent<\/a> and previous BBB Torch Award winner for Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois, Dodge has completed more than 150,000 relocations with a focus on careful handling and clear communication. Whether you\u2019re moving across town, across the country, or need storage in between, you work directly with our team\u2014one company, one name, and one point of accountability.<\/p>\n Before you book any mover online, ask a simple question: \u201cAre you a moving broker or an actual moving company that will perform my move?\u201d Then:<\/p>\n Look for a physical local address and branded trucks, not just a website and call center.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Ask for their USDOT and MC numbers and verify them on the FMCSA \u201cProtect Your Move<\/a>\u201d website.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n Be cautious of large cash deposits, no in\u2011home or virtual survey, or pressure to sign quickly.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/p>\n If you\u2019d like a free, no\u2011obligation estimate<\/a> from a real St. Louis moving company\u2014not a broker\u2014Dodge Moving & Storage<\/a> is ready to help.

In the moving world, valuation is not the same as insurance; it is the mover\u2019s level of liability\u2014how much they are responsible to pay if items are damaged or lost in transit. When you book a move with a professional mover like Dodge Moving & Storage<\/a>, valuation is built into your estimate as a protection plan for your personal belongings so you know what coverage you have before moving day.<\/p>\n Dodge Moving and Storage includes its Full Value Protection option in your initial move estimate by default at a minimum value of 6 dollars times the weight of your shipment, subject to certain conditions. Working with Dodge and Mayflower<\/a>, that means if something happens to an item during the move, our teams will coordinate to have it repaired or replaced (if it is not repairable), up to the total dollar amount of coverage you declare. This default valuation amount is just a minimum; you can increase it for added peace of mind, especially if your shipment includes higher-end items, and our estimators at Dodge Moving & Storage can help you choose an appropriate level.<\/p>\n If you have belongings worth more than 100 dollars per pound\u2014such as electronics, designer clothing, antiques, or artwork\u2014you need to list them on Mayflower\u2019s High-Value Inventory form before loading begins. Dodge Moving & Storage estimators can help you identify and document these high-value items so they are properly covered under your chosen valuation level if a claim arises.<\/p>\n Mayflower also offers a basic option at 60 cents per pound per article, which is provided at no additional cost but only offers minimal protection. Under this level, any claim is settled by multiplying the weight of the damaged or lost item by 60 cents, which is usually less than the average value of typical household goods, so our team at Dodge Moving & Storage typically recommends Full Value Protection for most households.<\/p>\n Choosing the right valuation level lets you worry less and relax more because you know how your belongings are protected before moving day. By partnering with Dodge Moving & Storage to select the right valuation and properly list your high-value items, you align your coverage with what your possessions are really worth, rather than just what they weigh.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n What \u201cvaluation\u201d means Valuation is the coverage you choose to protect your belongings if something is lost or damaged during a move, and it determines how a claim will be settled if the unexpected happens. In the moving world, valuation is not the same as insurance; it is the mover\u2019s level of liability\u2014how much they […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2513,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2511"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2516,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511\/revisions\/2516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2513"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":2518,"date":"2026-03-16T10:00:41","date_gmt":"2026-03-16T15:00:41","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/?p=2518"},"modified":"2026-02-25T12:59:57","modified_gmt":"2026-02-25T18:59:57","slug":"from-full-floor-to-empty-suite-how-to-decommission-your-office-smoothly","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/from-full-floor-to-empty-suite-how-to-decommission-your-office-smoothly\/","title":{"rendered":"From Full Floor to Empty Suite: How to Decommission Your Office Smoothly"},"content":{"rendered":" Clarify the scope early by deciding what will be removed, what will be reused in a new location or stored, and what must be returned to the landlord. This sets expectations for your internal team, your moving partner, and your building management from the start.<\/p>\n Next, schedule an on-site walkthrough. Use this time to complete a basic inventory so you capture all furniture, equipment, and fixtures, and flag anything that needs special handling before you set timelines or budgets.<\/p>\n Before you lock in dates, confirm building requirements such as loading dock access, elevator reservations, after-hours work rules, and any security or check-in procedures. Many buildings also require certificates of insurance (COIs) from your vendors, so collecting these in advance helps avoid delays on decommissioning day.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n A good decommissioning plan goes beyond removal and includes where everything will go next\u2014disposal, recycling, donation, liquidation, secure destruction, or storage. Ask vendors how they handle landfill diversion, what recycling documentation they can provide, and whether they offer certificates of destruction for sensitive records that may be needed for legal or compliance purposes.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n IT equipment, servers, copiers, and any lab or medical items often require separate planning, vendors, or chain-of-custody documentation. Coordinate these assets on a separate track so they\u2019re disconnected, packed, transported, and documented correctly without slowing down the rest of the decommissioning work.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n Office decommissioning is different from a basic office move. You want a company that understands commercial spaces, lease requirements, and the logistics of removal, recycling, and final cleanout\u2014not just loading a truck.

Denny\u2019s favorite memories, from being checked on all night by a coworker during a winter breakdown to the \u201cbrotherhood\u201d he found with teammates like T.O., Tony, T-Rex, and Mike Reed, highlighted the deep family culture he experienced at Dodge.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n As he stepped into retirement, Denny shared simple advice he lived by: show up on time, work hard, enjoy what you do, and work well with others, along with a guiding principle to treat people how you want to be treated and be kind to everyone. Looking ahead, he\u2019s focused on slowing down, getting well, watching more sports, and finally having time to enjoy life on his own terms.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n Dodge also celebrated the retirement of\u00a0Joe\u00a0Beach<\/strong> after an incredible 31-year career with the company, capping more than four and a half decades in the moving industry overall. Joe\u2019s journey started in 1979 as a co-driver for his uncle and evolved from Owner Operator to Warehouse Manager, Local Operations Manager, and finally contractor, a role he loved because it let him work alongside his grandsons and pass down his knowledge.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n Through industry changes\u2014from payphones and paper directions to GPS and smartphones\u2014Joe remained focused on doing things the right way, never cutting corners, and building strong relationships with customers and coworkers alike. As he moves into retirement, he\u2019s excited to spend more time working on classic cars and cherishing the relationships he\u2019s built, especially with John Clerc and the Dodge family.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In 2025,\u00a0Mary\u00a0Pillitteri<\/strong> reached an impressive 35-year milestone with Dodge, a career that has spanned massive change in both technology and the moving industry itself. She started in an era of clipboards, carbon paper, and drive-up pay phones and grew into a trusted consultant guiding customers through every detail of their move, from packing services to timing around closings.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n Mary credits her foundation to being hired and mentored by Marty Clerc, who taught her to build trust, act with integrity, and put customers first, values she still carries into every interaction. What she\u2019s most proud of is the lasting trust she\u2019s earned\u2014customers calling back year after year and referring their families\u2014because handling something as personal as a move is never something she takes lightly.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n For Mary, Dodge truly is family; she believes in the company, its values, and its commitment to doing things the right way, and she encourages others to follow through on promises, listen carefully, and fully engage with customers. Even after three and a half decades, what excites her most is still the people\u2014customers, coworkers, and the unique stories behind every single move.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n The year also marked 30 years with Dodge for\u00a0Mike\u00a0Ligibel<\/strong>, a milestone that reflects not just longevity but steady leadership and dedication to the people around him. Mike is especially proud to have worked under three generations of Clerc family ownership\u2014Marty, John, and Alex\u2014an experience he sees as rare and meaningful, and one that speaks to the strength and continuity of Dodge\u2019s values.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n He encourages new team members to always go the extra mile, believing that consistent effort pays off over time, and says he\u2019d tell his younger self to slow down and not let stress take over. What continues to energize him after three decades is mentoring employees, helping them become the best at what they do, and being challenged and supported by leaders like Tom Linhares, whom he considers a mentor.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n Alex\u00a0Clerc<\/strong>, Dodge\u2019s Executive Vice President, celebrated 10 years with the company in 2025, a decade marked by growth, change, and a focus on building a strong, forward-looking team. Alex says his greatest pride isn\u2019t a single achievement but the team that has come together at Dodge\u2014talented people who push boundaries and elevate standards year after year.\u200b<\/span><\/p>\n Looking ahead, he\u2019s excited about the opportunities in a rapidly evolving moving and storage industry, from innovation and expansion to continuing to invest in the people who make Dodge successful. Reaching the 10-year mark is meaningful to him both personally and professionally, as he carries the responsibility of honoring the family legacy while helping shape the company\u2019s next chapter.<\/p>\n \u200b<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dodge Moving & Storage had a lot to celebrate in 2025, honoring milestone years of service and the retirements of several remarkable team members whose careers helped shape the company\u2019s culture and success.\u200b Honoring the Retirements of Denny Drey and Joe Beach In 2025, Dodge celebrated the retirement of\u00a0Denny\u00a0Drey, recognizing his 18 years of […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2485,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2483"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2483\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2500,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2483\/revisions\/2500"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2485"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}},{"id":2476,"date":"2026-03-02T10:00:04","date_gmt":"2026-03-02T16:00:04","guid":{"rendered":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/?p=2476"},"modified":"2026-02-17T11:23:05","modified_gmt":"2026-02-17T17:23:05","slug":"from-boxes-to-business-advantage-choosing-the-right-warehousing-partner","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"https:\/\/www.dodgemoving.com\/from-boxes-to-business-advantage-choosing-the-right-warehousing-partner\/","title":{"rendered":"From Boxes to Business Advantage: Choosing the Right Warehousing Partner"},"content":{"rendered":" Choosing the right warehousing partner can make or break your supply chain performance. The best fit will not only store your inventory, but actively help you reduce cost, improve service, and scale with confidence\u2014and for many businesses in the St. Louis Metro area, that means partnering with a trusted local provider like Dodge Moving & Storage<\/a>. Here are some things to think about when choosing your partner.<\/p>\n Before you request quotes, get clear on what you actually need the warehouse to do. Consider order volume, product characteristics (size, weight, fragility, temperature sensitivity), shipping frequency, and seasonal spikes. Define your goals\u2014cost reduction, faster delivery, new markets, or value\u2011added services like kitting or returns\u2014so you can evaluate partners against the right criteria. Full\u2011service providers like Dodge<\/a> can align warehousing, transportation, and specialized handling under one roof, which is especially valuable if you also need local or long\u2011distance distribution support.<\/p>\n Location still matters in a digital world. Look for facilities close to your main customer hubs, ports, or transport corridors to cut transit times and shipping costs. If you serve customers across Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois, a centrally located St. Louis\u2011area warehouse<\/a>\u2014such as Dodge\u2019s facilities near major interstates\u2014can provide fast access to key regional markets. Confirm any partner has enough capacity for today\u2019s inventory and peak seasons, with room to grow as your business expands.<\/p>\n Not all warehouses are equipped for every product or workflow. Ask about storage conditions (racking, climate control, hazardous or high\u2011value handling), security protocols, and value\u2011added services like labeling, repack, cross\u2011docking, or light assembly. For companies that also need moving, office relocation, or specialized handling<\/a>\u2014such as medical or senior living environments\u2014a partner like Dodge Moving & Storage can streamline everything by combining professional crews, warehousing, and transportation into a single, coordinated solution. Ensure their warehouse management system can integrate with your platforms and provide real\u2011time inventory visibility and reporting.<\/p>\n You\u2019re choosing a partner, not just a building. Look for a strong track record of accuracy, on\u2011time performance, and safety, backed by references and, where relevant, industry certifications. Established providers like Dodge, with deep roots in the St. Louis community and experience across residential, commercial, and specialized moves, bring proven processes and trained teams that translate directly into dependable warehousing support<\/a>. Evaluate how any partner handles growth, demand swings, and problem\u2011solving, and make sure their communication style and values align with how your team works.<\/p>\n Price matters, but the cheapest option often costs more in the long run. Go beyond storage and handling rates to understand minimums, accessorial fees, and how the pricing model flexes as your volume changes. A good warehousing partner will be upfront about all charges and focused on long\u2011term value, helping you use shared infrastructure and scale to lower your overall logistics spend. If your business operates in or around St. Louis and you\u2019re exploring warehousing, distribution<\/a>, or integrated moving solutions, consider reaching out to Dodge Moving & Storage to discuss a customized plan that supports your growth.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Choosing the right warehousing partner can make or break your supply chain performance.
