Question 2

❓ What does moving locally mean?

Accepted Answer

A local move typically refers to any move within the same city or within a 50-mile radius. Local moves are usually billed by the hour and include the moving truck, professional movers, and standard equipment.

Question 3

❓ How can I arrange parking for a move from Boston to Philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

In Boston, parking for a moving truck often requires a temporary moving permit issued by the city. These permits reserve curb space near your building and help avoid tickets or delays on moving day.
In Philadelphia, parking rules vary by neighborhood, but permits may also be required depending on the location. We recommend arranging parking permits in advance or letting your moving company guide you through the process to ensure smooth truck access at both locations.

Question 4

❓ How can I prepare for my move from Boston to Philadelphia?

Accepted Answer

To prepare for a long-distance move, start by decluttering and deciding what you want to take with you. Clearly label all boxes, pack essentials separately, and keep valuables with you if possible. It’s also helpful to confirm parking arrangements, elevator access, and move-in instructions ahead of time to avoid delays on moving day.
