To Park or not to park?

We’ve all experienced parking woes; whether learning to parallel park to get our driver’s license (still can’t), warnings from our parents about ‘parking’ when we were teens (didn’t listen), or that pesky law enforcement officer insisting on issuing a parking ticket (I still maintain that meter was faulty!)

A parking issue is the last thing you’ll want to worry about on the day of your move!

What’s the best way to ward off parking woes? Verify parking ahead of time.

Some areas will require parking permits or have specific parking regulations, so talk with your neighborhood association, call your local police or city hall, or talk to your apartment/condo management. The old saying “it’s easier to ask forgiveness than permission” doesn’t apply here.

Trailer Parking Specifics

Our professional drivers can park the moving trailer in your driveway, a private parking lot or on the street (see requirements below). The moving trailer requires a 14 foot overhead clearance – so be sure to look up for low hanging wires or tree branches. It also requires 10 feet in width.

Driveway Parking – you’ll need about 3 ½ car lengths for the trailer and the ramp.

Private parking lot – you’ll need approval from the owner or property manager (the church on the corner may not appreciate a moving trailer on their lot on Sunday morning).

Street parking – It needs to be legal parking – so check with your city offices or local police department to see if a parking permit is required.

Leave a comment to let us know of parking issues where you live – it will be a great help to other people moving into or out of the area.
