St. Clair County sits across the Mississippi in the Metro East, a reliable run from our yard near The Hill over the bridges and out I-64 and I-255. We are over there constantly: a Belleville house near downtown one day, a Fairview Heights place midweek, an O’Fallon, Illinois subdivision the day after. Because these are Illinois moves, First Place Moves works the Metro East under Illinois Commerce Commission authority on top of our US DOT and MC numbers, all of it in-house with our own trucks and W-2 crews. Gina Marchetti started the company in 2011 and her teams thread a tight older Belleville street as comfortably as they roll up a wide newer O’Fallon drive. The rate holds flat, written into the contract before your date is set, the crew loading the house is the crew emptying it with no handoff anywhere, and an early walk of the entry and parking keeps the run smooth.
Houses and dependable family work define this county. Belleville, the seat, sends older single-family homes near the historic downtown, brick streets that pinch parking, and rentals along the main drags. O’Fallon, Illinois carries master-planned subdivisions and family two-stories near Scott Air Force Base, with plenty of military relocations in and out. Fairview Heights adds newer homes, townhomes, and downsizings off I-64. By the hour, two movers run $115, three run $155, and four run $205. As a flat number, the $590 to $980 band covers a one-bedroom and $980 to $1,660 spans a two-bedroom, with packing folded in whenever you want it. Interstate work departs on US DOT and MC authority we carry ourselves, $1M of cargo coverage attached, and climate-controlled storage stays around $85 to $230 a month by size while a lease gap or a base transfer resolves. The bridge crossing, booked HOA windows, and an icy winter morning all enter the plan, and the flat rate never shifts with the weather.
