Question to Movex

from Adam C in CT - Friday, March 05, 2010
Once the load arrives at my destination, how long do we have to unload the truck? We are moving from CT to CA and in CA may need a day or two to unload.

Movex Response

Adam,

The time depends on how much space you have ordered on the truck. The more space you use, the more time you have to work. We allow ample time for all shipments.

How many days do you have to unload the truck once it has been delivered to your destination?

Movex Response

Narlo,

Loading and unloading time depends on how much space you have used on the truck. We do not leave the trucks overnight. So we generally expect them to be unloaded when the driver arrives.

from Sibylle S in CA - Saturday, January 09, 2010
I am wondering if there are guidelines of how to stack my stuff in the moving truck so that it doesn't get all messed up and I will have trouble getting it out once it arrives. Do you have literature on that?

Movex Response

Sibylle,

Question to Movex

from Carol S in NY - Saturday, January 09, 2010
I am able to move boxes but would like help doing this. Will your driver be able to help?

Movex Response

Carol,

The drivers are not allowed to help with loading and unloading. There are several labor companies that can get you good-quality help for the loading and/or unloading. Go to the top of Movex.com and there is a link to Eagle Labor Management. They service most major metropolitan areas with good helpers.

from Jon G in WA - Tuesday, November 03, 2009
You said the time allowed to load is based on size, How much time for 4-6 foot load?

Movex Response

Jon,

For a small load like that we would have the truck stay there for up to four hours.

from rick D in MD - Tuesday, October 27, 2009
do they leave the truck for a day or so or do you loaded when they bring it

Movex Response

Rick,

It all depends on how much space you have ordered. The more space that you order, the more time you are allowed to load. If you need more time, just indicate that need with your rep when you are booking your truck and they will help you get that set up.

from Mark O in MI - Tuesday, September 08, 2009
We are moving a very small amount of furniture and approx 20-25 boxes of household items from Michigan to Florida. The condo complex we are moving to does not allow cubes or truck parking overnight. Can it be arranged to have the truck unloaded by us while the driver waits?

Movex Response

That is the great thing about Movex service. Absolutely.

We would be loading a 4 bedroom plus. How fast are we expected to finish?

Movex Response

We would normally allow 10 to 12 hours for that size shipment. If you felt like you needed more time, just let your relocation specialist know when you set up your move. We will never pressure you on time.
