Moving Questions - Parking and Permitting
Question to Movexfrom Cima H in FL - Saturday, October 31, 2009 |
Movex ResponseCima, The drivers do everything that they can to get in front of your home. If that is an impossibility, you will need to bring your items to the closest safe parking spot. Movex |
Question to Movexfrom Tequila M in CA - Thursday, June 18, 2009 |
Movex ResponseTequila, We don't have terminals in every city. However, we can help you. You will need to make arrangements to shuttle your goods to our truck at a location close to you where we can, in fact, park. Usually a grocery store parking lot is used for this situation. Movex |
Question to Movexfrom Valerie D in AZ - Wednesday, April 01, 2009 |
Movex ResponseValerie, Check with your apartment manager. Most complexes have a place where they want moving vans to park. All of our trucks are full-size (like the ones you see on the highway). In the event that there is no place to park, the driver will get as close as possible and you would need to shuttle your goods to the truck. That being said, the drivers do this every day and are excellent. If there is room to park, nobody can do it any better than our guys! Movex |
Question to Movexfrom Maggie M in PA - Monday, March 16, 2009 |
Movex ResponseMaggie, Unfortunately not. The moving vans are so large and heavy that they cannot go off of a paved road. They will get stuck if they do. You would need to shuttle your goods to the end of the driveway. This fact is true for all moving trucks. Movex |
Question to Movexfrom Stefan I in NY - Saturday, June 28, 2008 |
Movex ResponseStefan, We need to have level ground on which to park the moving trucks. If the driveway is too steep, it will not be safe to traverse with a loaded moving van. I would recommend having the driver park the rig on the street and bring your stuff to it. While not convenient, it would be the safest way to go.... and the only way to go with any company providing the same type of service that we do. Movex |
Question to Movexfrom John K in WA - Friday, March 07, 2008 |
Movex ResponseJohn, Movex really prefers to load on your pickup day. We have found that leaving all of your worldly possessions in a moving van in front of your house over the weekend is a great way to have things stolen. That being said, if you take the whole truck and would like extra time to load it, we have options avaiable. Please call 800-876-6839 and one of our relocation specialists would be happy to assit you with the details. Making Moving Easier, Movex |
Question to Movexfrom Liz C in CA - Tuesday, February 26, 2008 |
Movex ResponseLiz, We are very familiar with your area. The moving trucks that we provide are 53ft long. The slope on the driveway is the deal breaker here. The best we could do would be to park at the bottom of the mountain and have you shuttle your items to us with a smaller truck. I know this is inconvenient, but safety comes first and steep grades on narrow driveways makes for a very unsafe situation in a moving van. Making Moving Easier, Movex |
Question to Movexfrom martin G in CA - Monday, November 19, 2007 |
Movex ResponseMartin, Most public storage places have a special area designated for loading and unloading of moving trucks. The professionals that drive the moving trucks are very capable of parking in any place that can accommodate a tractor-trailer. Making Moving Better, Movex |
Question to Movexfrom Vince V in NY - Wednesday, October 31, 2007 |
Movex ResponseVince, Since Movex utilizes 53' moving vans to provide the service, we are unable to help you with a move in New York City. We simply cannot navigate the tight streets. If you filled out one of the quote forms above, one of our relocation specialists will email you some ballpark rates shortly. Making Moving Better, Movex |
Question to Movexfrom Lorna M in OH - Friday, September 07, 2007 |
Movex ResponseLorna, The hard part for us is not the IL and OH piece. We could certainly get a moving truck for you both to share. The problem is the delivery in Manhattan. The moving truck is 53ft long and cannot maneuver in NY City. You would need to rent a smaller truck and shuttle from our truck into the city - which kind of defeats the purpose. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you on that. Making Moving Better, Movex |
