Moving in Boston
September 1 is the single busiest moving day in the country here, when a large share of the city’s leases turn over at once. If your date falls in that window, book months ahead. Boston, Cambridge and Somerville all require a street permit to hold space for a truck, and the narrow streets in the North End and Beacon Hill often rule out a full trailer.
In Boston specifically, that means confirming building access and parking before the crew is dispatched rather than on the morning of the move. The closest market we also cover is Cambridge, 0 miles out. The nearest large market outside Massachusetts is Providence, RI, about 50 miles and 1 day away.
Because Boston is the busiest market in Massachusetts, dates here go first — especially May through August. Booking early is the difference between your preferred week and whatever is left.

Moving in Boston: common questions
Which Boston ZIP codes do you cover?
02101, 02102, 02103, 02104, 02105, 02106, 02107, 02108 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 fast can you deliver out of Boston?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Worcester, MA — 40 mi, 1 day; Providence, RI — 50 mi, 1 day; Springfield, MA — 90 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 Suffolk County?
Yes. Boston is what people search for, but crews run throughout Suffolk County and the surrounding towns.
Do you handle Boston high-rise and apartment moves?
Yes, and that is most of the volume in a city this size. Buildings here typically want a certificate of insurance naming them and a reserved freight elevator, often several business days ahead. Ask your building manager for their requirements the day you book.
