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 Washington, DC to North Carolina move
Provide the DC move-out appointment and the date you actually gain access to the receiving home. If either changes, contact the team before loading; an elevator booking in DC does not promise a particular arrival in North Carolina.

“Wilson and team at Gorilla Haulers did an amazing job moving us from DC to North Carolina. They had us out of our apartment in 4 hours and fully moved into our house multiple states away the next day by 2 pm. All our stuff made it safely and securely, the team was incredibly efficient, professional and polite for a very reasonable price.”

Review the two ends of your move
| Location | Access to review |
|---|---|
| Washington, DC pickup | For a DC apartment or rowhouse, tell us where the truck can stop, how many flights of stairs are involved, and whether your building requires an elevator appointment. Include items stored in a basement or upper floor. |
| North Carolina delivery | Confirm when you can receive belongings at your North Carolina home. If you are coordinating a closing or waiting for keys, share that uncertainty before pickup. For an apartment, ask about the loading entrance and elevator availability. |
