Union City pattern
Loading in Union City, in practice.
Union City is one of the densest cities in the country — blocks are wall-to-wall three-family rowhouses with stoops, no driveways, and shared light wells. Most jobs run two crew because the staircase turns are hard and the front sidewalk needs to stay clear.
Tight rowhouses and three-family wood-frames; almost no driveways; everything packed shoulder to shoulder.
Newark to Union City runs 10 to 20 minutes off-peak — about 8 miles.

Loading questions
Common loading questions.
Why list this separately from "moving labor"?
Moving labor is the full move — both ends, sometimes a same-day load-and-unload. Loading-unloading is just one end — you only need us at the old place or only at the new place. Same crew, same gear, same hourly. Booked as a single-end visit lets us schedule a tighter window.
Do you drive the truck for me?
No. Rental contracts only cover named drivers, and we are not on yours. If you specifically need a driver, ask at booking and we will coordinate a referral. For most jobs the cheaper move is to drive yourself and book us only for the muscle.
How do I prep for a loading visit?
Box everything that needs to be boxed before we arrive. Disassemble bed frames and large IKEA pieces if you have the tools and time — saves 30-60 minutes on the meter. Have the truck or POD on site with the keys when we arrive. We handle pad-wrap, stretch wrap, and strap-down.
Can you load a POD at the curb?
Yes — PODS, U-Box, and 1-800-PACK-RAT all deliver to the curb if the driveway is too narrow. The curb-load is a longer carry but billed at the same hourly. Tell us at booking where the container is going to land so we can plan the route from the door.
