Our mission is to provide our customers with a reliable, responsive, professional packaging, storing, and relocating relocation service within our residential and commercial markets.
It is our goal to make Premier Moving & Storage the #1 moving company of choice. We expect nothing less from the entire team than 100% customer satisfaction. It is the only acceptable way to run a business. When we adhere to this maxim, our services will exceed the expectations of our customers.
Our History
Premier Moving & Storage has been in business in Columbia, MO serving Mid-Missouri since 1957, when our business began as Simmons Moving & Storage Co. For business and household moving companies in Columbia, our name says it all – the Premier of all long-distance moving, local moving, and storage services.
Our founder, Fred Simmons, was a University of Missouri football player under Coach Don Faurot, a baseball player for Mizzou, a Big Band Leader, a husband, and father active in his community.
In 1959 Simmons Moving & Storage Co. became an Agent for North American Van Lines, making us the Mid-Missouri representative for over 59 years!
Moving your household across town is time-consuming. While you could bribe your extended family and friends with pizza to help you load, haul and unload boxes, you might end up with the pizza gone and no one left around to finish the move.
Your time is valuable. It isn’t just packing and unpacking the truck, it’s a whole lot of other steps in the process that can take you away from work without pay, make you search for boxes and packing material, put stress on you to plan the move, make the move, unpack, and get settled. It’s already enough to switch utilities and handle the list of other notices and changes required without finding people to help and driving the truck.
With Premier Moving, you are hiring a team of movers in Columbia, MO, complete with all the equipment, to help in half the time or less! AND, if there is a gap between your move out and move-in dates, we will provide the temporary storage you need.
But, we understand what your top concern is: how much does a moving company cost?
We know it’s very affordable when you consider that time is money, breaking things that aren’t packed correctly is money and possibly memories, and lost time with work or family is both money and aggravation. Let us take the load off for you.
You can imagine the potential cost in time and interference with the rest of your life activities. There is a way to find out exactly how much your move will cost in dollars.
There are several factors and choices which go into calculating the cost of a move, which is why we suggest you try our free moving estimation tool! The tool allows you to communicate with us so we can quickly provide a detailed quote, customized to your situation.
Work with us your way – online, on the phone or in person.
If you prefer, we are happy to work with you over the phone or have our operations team meet with you to discuss any choices and questions you have before hiring us.
Moving a business – whether it’s office furniture, heavy manufacturing equipment, or something in between – is time sensitive and requires a lot of forethought.
And, if you have temporary storage needs to accommodate construction, remodeling, or an expansion, we’ll coordinate with you every step of the way so you can focus on the project while we take care of the heavy lifting.
Intrastate moves
Intrastate refers to moves that are outside our local area but inside the State of Missouri. These moves could either be for your household or a business.
Interstate moves
Interstate refers to moves to another state and can be either household or business moves.
In addition to serving the local moving needs of the Mid-Missouri area, Premier Moving & Storage is recognized as one of the top long distance movers in the Midwest. As a Mid-Missouri agent of North American Van Lines, our professional movers have access to a nationally-recognized network of services that can carefully and quickly ship your valuables anywhere in the country. As a household moving company committed to customer satisfaction, our team uses reliable resources to give you the best moving estimate experience.
We own our own trucks and also have access to additional trucks and resources through North American so we can expand our capacity during months when Interstate moving demand is high.
No matter the size of your move, we schedule and route trucks for maximum efficiency so that your belongings arrive on time at your destination.
Whether it’s for you, your family, or your business, start your Intrastate or Interstate move request with our free online estimator or a phone call to our office.
If you have young children it is a good idea to do the move while they are in school or
daycare. You will be busy with the movers and it will be difficult for you to give your
child the attention he/she needs. It’s a much less stressful day for you if you children
are not home on moving day.
This depends on many factors, such as the time of year, weather conditions, size of your
shipment, time required to load and unload, and the direction and distance your shipment
is traveling.
Because the furnishings of the average household will not fill a truck, it is often necessary
for two or more shipments to be loaded on the same truck. Each shipment is carefully
sectioned off from the others.
With the help of computer-assisted dispatching system, pickup and delivery dates
are scheduled according to the origins and destinations of individual shipments on the trucks,
as well as shipment weight.
