Moving in Durham
The Triangle and Charlotte have large numbers of newer HOA communities with strict rules on truck size and moving hours — worth checking the covenant before the crew is dispatched. Durham jobs are usually more straightforward than the big-metro ones — driveway access instead of loading docks — but the same rules on distance and timing apply. The closest market we also cover is Raleigh, 20 miles out.
Most Durham jobs are straightforward enough to scope from a short conversation, but the written estimate still comes before anything goes on the truck.

Moving in Durham: common questions
Which Durham ZIP codes do you cover?
27701, 27702, 27703, 27704, 27705, 27706, 27707, 27708 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 Durham?
Local jobs load and unload the same day. Further out: Cary, NC — 20 mi, 1 day; Raleigh, NC — 20 mi, 1 day; Greensboro, NC — 60 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 Durham County?
Yes. Durham is what people search for, but crews run throughout Durham County and the surrounding towns.
Is Durham big enough to get a crew on short notice?
Usually, yes. As the fourth-largest city in North Carolina, Durham has capacity nearby rather than dispatched from across the state, and last-minute jobs here are often possible within 48 hours. Peak summer weekends are the exception.
