Things that come up on Northwest deliveries
Seattle and Portland have many older houses on steep lots and newer apartment towers with loading docks and elevator bookings. Island and coast deliveries, such as Bainbridge Island or the southern Oregon coast, add travel time and sometimes a ferry. On a weight-based move, a shuttle is used when the big truck cannot reach the door; on a reserved truck there is no shuttle charge. Tell us about the destination early so we can plan the truck and the crew.
Up I-5 to the Pacific Northwest
Oregon and Washington are among the long-distance moves we quote, from Portland and the Oregon coast to Seattle and the Puget Sound islands. These are interstate moves, regulated federally and priced either by weight or as a binding flat fee for a reserved truck.
