About loading and unloading in St. Louis

Plenty of St. Louis moves stay local: a flat in one neighborhood to a house in another, or the city to the county. Loading and unloading books the same crew at both addresses, while you drive the truck between them.

Because the same crew handles both addresses, they already know how the truck was packed and what needs to come off first. Billing is continuous hourly time, which usually includes their drive between your two St. Louis addresses — ask the company how it counts travel time before you book.

Planning a realistic day

A full house plus a cross-town drive can fill most of a day. Packing in advance and having the second address ready — keys, clear rooms, parking sorted — keeps the hours where you expect them.

How the clock works between addresses

The crew loads at the first address, travels to the second while you drive, and unloads there. How the travel time is counted is up to each company, so read its listing or ask in your request.

Moves between nearby neighborhoods take less drive time than a move out to the far suburbs, so mention both addresses up front.

Two kinds of access in one day

A move from a brick flat with an alley to a building with an elevator means two very different carries. Describe both addresses — floors, stairs, elevators and parking — so the crew plans for each.
