Moving in Santa Maria
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. A city this size means both kinds of job in Santa Maria: buildings that need paperwork and elevator slots, and neighbourhoods where the truck simply parks at the door. The closest market we also cover is Bakersfield, 100 miles out.
A move between Santa Maria and the rest of California stays with one company from the first box to the last. Nothing is handed to a carrier you did not agree to.
