About our Small Load Moving service
Not every move fills a 26-foot truck. If you're moving a studio apartment, a single bedroom, a dorm room, or just need to relocate a few pieces of furniture and some boxes, paying for a full local move makes no sense. Our small-load service is built for exactly this — pay by the linear foot of truck space and the time it takes, nothing more.
Small loads work for both local and long-distance moves. On local jobs we send a smaller crew and the right-sized truck so you're not paying for unused capacity. On long-distance jobs we can consolidate your shipment with a dedicated portion of a larger trailer, with your space sealed off and inventoried so nothing gets mixed.
Same-week scheduling is usually available, and we still bring the same trained crews, blankets, dollies, and care that we use on full-house moves. It's a small move done right — not a stripped-down service.
