Identify loading zones, parking restrictions, garage clearance, alleys, permits, and where a commercial vehicle can stand safely.
Write these details into the request rather than keeping them as service-day assumptions. Haul-away and local delivery require clear scope, responsible routing, and an accurate record of what should happen at completion.
Continue through the property
Describe gates, unit location, stairs, elevators, courtyards, thresholds, and doors that require staff access.
Photos, measurements, and a reachable contact make this checkpoint easier to verify before anyone travels.
Account for distance
A long carry adds handling even when the vehicle is close on a map. Estimate the actual route from parking to the item.
If the condition changes, update the plan early so vehicle, crew, timing, and handling can be reviewed.
Coordinate building rules
Reserve service elevators, notify security or management, and follow move-in hours and protection requirements.
The goal is a route that protects the item, the property, and the people completing the work.
Keep access live
Make sure codes work, contacts answer, and the loading area is not blocked when the service window begins.
Finish this step before checkout whenever possible and keep the supporting information available on service day.
Frequently asked questions
Can a driver block a driveway briefly?
Parking must remain legal and safe; arrange an appropriate loading location before arrival.
Do I need to mention one flight of stairs?
Yes. Every stair segment affects handling and should be included.
What if there is no nearby parking?
Contact support with the best available legal option and actual carrying distance before booking.
