  • Confirm where the moving truck can legally park and load.
  • Check for downtown event schedules, street closures, or temporary parking restrictions.
  • Measure large furniture to make sure it can pass through doorways, stairways, and hallways.
  • Protect older floors, staircases, and door frames during furniture movement.
