Moving Services Hindered by Traffic
Moving services are a lot of help to all families who need to move from one place to another. However, as you plan for your move, you also have to remember well that there are some things you have to arrange for your move. In some roads, moving trucks are not permitted to enter. A lot of cities in the country have strict road rules and lands use codes that can be limiting to your moving service hired.
Cities like Chicago, Boston, New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Washington have such regulations. If you live in one of these cities, you have to consider the rules when you let your moving truck in your house. This is because the size of moving trucks can be unsafe in some neighborhoods.
According to the New York City’s Department of Transportation’s regulations for traffic, 53’ and 102” wide trucks are not allowed in a lot of sections in the five boroughs. To transport the items to be moved, you have to use a lighter cargo or transportation.
If it is possible for the moving service to be prevented from entering your neighborhood, you are the one responsible to have another mode of transportation available to be used by the moving service, from the house to the point where the moving truck is already allowed. You can also ask the moving service if they offer additional service that would provide transportation for your items to be moved. This would be much easier for you,
since moving your items from your house to a small vehicle, and then to another vehicle, can be tedious.
