Moving in San Mateo
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 San Mateo 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 Daly City, 10 miles out.
Nothing about a San Mateo 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.

What if my San Mateo closing date moves?
