Common questions#
What is backloading and how much does it save?
Backloading books your goods onto a truck already returning along your route. It can cut interstate costs substantially in exchange for flexible pickup and delivery dates.
How many hours does a typical local move take?
A 2-bedroom unit typically takes 3 to 5 hours with two movers, plus travel. A full house runs 6 to 8 hours or more depending on access.
