Ask Spartan

Can I reserve a whole truck for a guaranteed delivery date?

Short answer

Yes. Reserving the whole truck gives you a binding flat price, the same team at both ends and guaranteed pickup and delivery dates.

The longer answer

01Yes, and it changes three things

You can book the entire truck for your move. In return you get a binding flat price, a guaranteed pickup date and a guaranteed delivery date. Nobody else's belongings ride along, and the same crew that loads your home is the one that unloads it.

03Who tends to choose it

A reserved truck suits people with a hard deadline: a closing date, a new job start, kids starting school, or a rental that ends on a fixed day. It also appeals to anyone who simply wants one number and no weigh-in. Families with a lot of furniture sometimes find it easier to budget, because the price does not move with the scale.

Flat-fee moves also have no accessorial charges at delivery for stairs, long carries or elevators, which takes another variable off the table.

It is not the right fit for everyone. A small shipment headed out of state may cost less priced by weight, where you pay for the pounds you ship rather than for the whole truck. David can price both ways so you can compare the numbers side by side and decide which tradeoff matters more to you: the lower figure or the fixed date.

04How to set it up

  1. Share your dates, both addresses and a room-by-room inventory or photos.
  2. Tell David you want the truck reserved.
  3. He prepares the flat price for your move and sends it in writing.
  4. Once you accept, your pickup and delivery dates are locked.

Not with a reserved truck. The same team does both ends.
