We look forward to meeting you and helping you with your future moving needs.
Founded in 1905 as Gerold Moving & Warehousing Co, it was originally owned and operated by the Gerold Family.
Gerold began in East St. Louis, Illinois. In the early 1960’s the Crawford Family purchased the company and then relocated the operation to Belleville, IL.
Gerold Moving and Warehousing Co has been moving families and businesses for over 100 years and will continue as the third generation of the Crawford Family continues with this tradition.
We are now affiliated, with National Van Lines.
You can be sure your move is of the up-most importance to us.
Corporate Relocation
Picture
Recent surveys show that a primary driver of corporate relocation’s continues to have the inability to find a qualified workforce in the same place as the relocation. Gerold Moving & Warehousing Company understands the need for that balance, that businesses reasons for getting someone ready for their new position in an unfamiliar environment and the personal issues that every transferred family will experience. It’s not just an address change. It’s a change of life.
Communication is key
Gerold Moving has an extensive communications regimen that assigns a single-point-of-contact to every corporate relocation. That means your company’s Human Resources manager or relocation specialist, as well as the transferee, will be kept up-to-speed at every step of the move. Everyone involved in the move will have a resource to ask questions, express concerns or simply seek some peace-of-mind.

What is residential moving? Here’s how we look at it:
Moving from one home to another – One that you’re selling to one that you’re buying elsewhere
Moving from an apartment to a house
Moving from one apartment to another apartment
Moving companies put residential moves into some broader categories
Local moves – Moves that are generally 35 miles or less, are considered local moves and charged on an hourly basis which is determined by the number of men on the job.

The busiest times for moving companies are typically during the summer months, May-September.
If you are planning a move during that time you should make arrangements early.
Friday and Saturdays are big moving days so if you have flexibility in your schedule it can
be easier to get a date during the week rather than a weekend.
On the day of the move you need to be present. There is paperwork to sign and you need to
show the movers exactly what is being moved. After the movers have loaded the truck you will
be ask to do a walk through. That is the time to point out anything that may have been missed
once the truck drives away they are done.
At the unload they will place boxes in rooms based on the rooms written on the boxes
(ie., bedroom, kitchen, garage). Furniture will be placed in the location you specify.
It is helpful if you already have a basic idea where you want furniture placed.
If the movers have to keep rearranging and switching furniture around it will take longer
and you are paying hourly.
