About loading and unloading in Paterson
When nobody is waiting at the far end, book both. This service collects the Paterson pickup and the destination in one request and creates a single booking with one independent company.
The form collects both addresses for this service. Transportation stays yours — rental truck, trailer, or container — and each company sets its own travel policy, so confirm how it handles the distance between the two before your date.

When both ends is the right call
Combined makes sense for a local move that fits in a working day with nobody available at the destination — across Paterson, out to Clifton or Hawthorne, or into a storage facility and back out later.
If the two ends are days apart, or the destination is out of state, book loading here and unloading separately where the truck lands.
Loading only, unloading only, or both
Loading only ends when the load is strapped. Unloading only starts when the vehicle arrives. Both is one crew, one booking, spanning the day.
The deciding question is whether anyone capable is free at the other address.
Two properties, two access problems
A Paterson origin might be a three-family with a narrow interior stair and curbside-only parking. The destination might be a suburban driveway with a long walk to the door, or a storage corridor.
Those are different jobs, and a crew sized for one will feel wrong on the other. Describe both in the request rather than assuming they are similar.
Travel between the addresses
We do not promise that a crew follows your vehicle, that drive time is automatically billable, or that mileage is included. Those are company-specific policies.
Ask the company you book how it handles the gap between addresses — travel, timing, and how the hours are counted — before the day.
Preparing both locations
Origin: packed, labeled, disassembled where possible, stair route clear, vehicle position identified. Destination: entry clear, placement decided, floors protected, lighting on.
Every hour lost at the origin is an hour of daylight missing at the destination, so the origin preparation carries double weight.
How combined service is priced
Hourly at each independent company's own rate, crew size, and minimum hours. Combined is one request covering both locations, not a flat package price.
The estimate including the Service Processing Fee is shown before submission; the card is authorized then and captured when a company accepts.
