How long would it take the truck to go from Hershey, PA to San Jose CA? Thank you
from Gavin M. in PA - 5/22/2023

Gavin, It will take us about 7 days to travel all the way across the country like that. MovingYourself.com

I need to know how long it will take for the truck to drive from La Crosse, WI. to Katy, TX and If I need to be in Katy to unload or can I have someone else there?
from Pat S. in WI - 8/14/2016

It will take about three to six days for the moving truck to travel that distance. If we have your permission in writing, we can release the shipment to someone else at destination. MovingYourself.com

after loading the truck how long does it take to be picked up and delivered to my new destination or is it same day move as the loading?
from william w. in AZ - 3/12/2016

William, The time it takes to get to your destination is a matter of distance and other shipments on board. Our drivers average 500 miles per day in transit. Sometimes, they will need to pickup and deliver other shipments while in route, which can effect your delivery by a day or two. That being said, we have the shortest transit times in the industry and guarantee your delivery in writing. MovingYourself.com

Is there anyway that the driver of our truck can make it a two day trip, because we are going to stopping overnight with animals. We wouldn't want them to get up there before we did, any suggestions?
from Jennifer D. in FL - 9/22/2015

Jennifer, Let one of our relocation specialists know your needs and they will come up with solutions for you. The moving trucks generally travel 500 miles a day, but if there are other loads going on the vehicle, that can change. MovingYourself.com

When the shipment arrives, does it have to be unloaded immediately? ie: arrive at night? I need my shipment to arrive for unloading on a Saturday. How best can I get that type of schedule?
from Jayne F. in OH - 9/12/2015

Jayne, We won't have you unload after business hours. We would generally wait until the next morning unless you had a special request. For a Saturday, I would recommend dropping off the truck on Friday and leaving it over the weekend for a pick up on Monday. We can work with you to accommodate almost any schedule.

from Paris P. in GA - 8/8/2015

Hi Paris, That is generally a 2 day transit time. For your moving quote, you should put the day that you want to load the truck as the date. Movingyourself.com

How long do you have to load and unload your belongings once a truck has arrived?
from Donnie J. in PA - 7/13/2015

It depends on the amount of space you have ordered. The more space you order, the more time you have (and will need) to load it. We generally can give you up to 3 business days to load and/or unload at no additional cost. MovingYourself.com

How much notice is needed for a move from MO to AZ?
from Krissy C. in MO - 6/4/2015

Krissy, We can service a move with as few as 3 days notice, however, that is very short notice and we would really like more time to get your moving truck arranged. Generally two weeks notice is good for us to schedule a moving truck. MovingYourself.com
