Moving in Richmond
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. Scheduling in Richmond is easier than in the state's largest city, and that is worth knowing if your dates are not flexible. The closest market we also cover is San Francisco, 10 miles out.
Nothing about a Richmond job goes out to a bidder. The estimate, the crew and the truck all come from the same company, which is the whole reason to call a carrier instead of a broker.

Moving in Richmond: common questions
Which Richmond ZIP codes do you cover?
94801, 94802, 94804, 94805, 94807, 94808, 94850. 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 Richmond take?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: San Francisco, CA — 10 mi, 1 day; Oakland, CA — 20 mi, 1 day; Hayward, CA — 30 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 Contra Costa County?
Yes. Richmond is what people search for, but crews run throughout Contra Costa County and the surrounding towns.
What if my Richmond closing date moves?
It happens on a large share of moves, which is why storage in transit exists. Your shipment sits in a monitored warehouse and comes out when the new place is ready. Tell us early and it is a scheduling change rather than a scramble.
