About
Hi, I’m Derek, owner of One Foot Forward. When you book with us, you get two experienced, careful movers, a fully equipped truck, and everything needed to protect your belongings—moving blankets, shrink wrap, mattress protection, dollies, and straps. We’re also fully insured for your peace of mind, so you can feel confident your move is in professional hands.
Our rate is $170 per hour plus a $85 truck fee (miles included up to 15 miles)with a 2-hour minimum—no hidden fees, no surprise charges, just honest pricing and quality service. $150 an hour if you just need the manpower with equipment!
Tell me a little about your move—how much you’re moving, where you’re going, and any large or specialty items—and I’ll give you a straightforward estimate and get you on the schedule quickly!

They were very nice and professional, they did a great job moving my furniture, they made sure everything was covered to avoid scratching up the furniture, Moved everything in the rooms it belong.. I really enjoyed and appreciated them. Will hire again.

Hired for a last minute move of a few mid century pieces from Colombia, IL to St. Louis. Submitted a request and they reached out to coordinate in less than an hour. Showed up on time on moving day with good attitudes after clearly a long day of moving other things. Expertly made everything fit, pulled off to put a tarp up when it started to rain, and moved into our house without issue. Walked through everything they were doing and was using any opportunity to help train their new person. Locally owned and operated. Will be hiring again.

Chris & Amir hit it out of the park for my family. They came in like superheroes and saved the day! Had another crew come out and charge way too much and then they didnt want to come back the next morning to finish. One Foot Forward quickly responded to my ask and quickly had a crew packing a UHaul expertly. Thank you so very, very much!
