Moving in Berkeley
Access is the recurring problem. San Francisco and older parts of LA have street-parking restrictions and permit requirements for a 26-foot truck, and buildings often want a certificate of insurance days in advance. Berkeley jobs are usually more straightforward than the big-metro ones — driveway access instead of loading docks — but the same rules on distance and timing apply. The closest market we also cover is San Francisco, 10 miles out.
Most Berkeley jobs are straightforward enough to scope from a short conversation, but the written estimate still comes before anything goes on the truck.

Moving in Berkeley: common questions
Which Berkeley ZIP codes do you cover?
94701, 94702, 94703, 94704, 94705, 94707, 94708, 94709 and the rest of the delivery area. An address on the edge of the city limits changes nothing about the price — it only matters for whether a full-size truck can reach the door.
How long does a move from Berkeley take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Oakland, CA — 10 mi, 1 day; San Francisco, CA — 10 mi, 1 day; Hayward, CA — 20 mi, 1 day. Past roughly 400 miles it becomes a long-haul schedule, and delivery is a window rather than a fixed hour.
Do you serve the rest of Alameda County?
Yes. Berkeley is what people search for, but crews run throughout Alameda County and the surrounding towns.
Is Berkeley big enough to get a crew on short notice?
Usually, yes. As the 51th-largest city in California, Berkeley has capacity nearby rather than dispatched from across the state, and last-minute jobs here are often possible within 48 hours. Peak summer weekends are the exception.
