Planning your Pennsylvania to Texas move
A Pittsburgh address and a Philadelphia address are not interchangeable starting points. Add the full Texas ZIP code and any gated or new-property directions, with separate inventories for additional pickup locations.

Review the two ends of your move
| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Pennsylvania pickup | Tell us which part of Pennsylvania you are leaving and whether pickup is from a rowhouse, apartment, or detached home. Include stair counts and the distance between the entrance and the available truck parking. |
| Texas delivery | Texas destinations can involve very different delivery routes. Use the actual destination ZIP code rather than the nearest major city, and tell us about gated-community access, apartment loading areas, or a new-construction address that may be hard to locate. |
