Our trucks run this route
Our trucks run between our Chicago, New Jersey, and DC-area bases every day, and down the East Coast to Florida. Most deliveries along this route arrive in under a week. Pickup and delivery dates are confirmed with your estimate.
Planning your Virginia to New York move
Northern Virginia townhouses and single-family homes often hold more than a New York apartment, so decide what goes before the estimate. New York City and Long Island deliveries use a shuttle truck; include the building's elevator hours and insurance requirements.

Review the two ends of your move
| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Virginia pickup | A Northern Virginia pickup and a pickup elsewhere in Virginia need different scheduling arrangements. Provide the actual ZIP code, and tell us about townhouse stairs, driveway access, and any separate storage-unit pickup. |
| New York delivery | New York City and Long Island deliveries use a shuttle truck to reach the building. Send the building address, freight elevator hours, and certificate of insurance requirements; for an upstate home, describe the driveway and entrance. |
