Moving in Fort Wayne
Indianapolis sits on the crossroads of I-65, I-69 and I-70, which makes it unusually easy to schedule — most in-state pickups can be reached without an overnight. Around Fort Wayne the mix is broader than downtown high-rises — houses, walk-ups and offices in roughly equal measure, which is why the survey matters before the estimate. The closest market we also cover is South Bend, 80 miles out. The nearest large market outside Indiana is Toledo, OH, about 110 miles and 1 day away.
Being the second market in Indiana has one practical advantage: capacity is easier to find here than in the largest city, and short-notice jobs out of Fort Wayne more often work out.
