Looking for the best moving company in University City? One that will gently handle your belongings and make sure everything arrives safely in its place? At Dodge Moving and Storage we move more customers in University City every month than most moving companies do in a year. If you are moving to U City (or thinking about it), here's a comprehensive checklist of reminders, city rules, and utility links to get started. The U City website and the St. Louis county website are a great first read, but we will review each step in detail to get you going.

Step One, Turning on UtilitiesPrepare For Your Movers and Helpers

First thing on taking occupancy of your new home and before sending movers in - you'll want to get the lights turned on. U City’s local utility providers are Ameren Corporation, Charter, MSD, Missouri American Water, and Spire (formerly Laclede Gas).

Spectrum Cable (800) 211-4450 
Spire (800) 887-4173
MSD (866) 281-5737
MO American Water (866) 430-0820
Ameren (314) 342-1000

After moving in you may have a large number of moving boxes (we provide new and used boxes here if you need them). Unless using a dumpster, U City requires all boxes to be broken down and bundled together... if they are filled with rubbish items and left out on the curb, they will not be picked up. So make sure to disassemble them!

Code Regulations and Permits

U City’s wonderful thoroughfares are home to their own one-way or parking quirks (such as through-truck traffic prohibitions on certain streets), and the city has a tighter set of regulations on movers (than say, St. Charles) when it comes to bringing trucks and trailers to the home for packing and unpacking. Here's some relevant regulations on truck parking, sizes, and exceptions.

Dodge will make sure you stay in the good graces of your neighbors, city, and county.
