- Loading, transport, and placement in the new space
What counts as a local move?
For Major Movers, a local move is any move within Connecticut: across Hamden, from New Haven to Milford, from Wallingford down to the shore or from Waterbury to New Haven County. The crew loads, drives and unloads, and the plan is built around the inventory and the access at both addresses rather than the mileage alone.
Rental trucks and moving trucks cannot use the Merritt or Wilbur Cross parkways, so routes across the county run on the interstates and local roads. A short trip on the map can still be a long carry at either end, which is why stairs, elevators and the loading spot belong in the estimate request.
Plan both ends of the local move
A short drive does not necessarily mean a short moving day. The work depends on the amount being moved, the distance from each doorway to the truck, and the stairs or elevators along that route. Send photos of large pieces and explain access at both addresses before the estimate is prepared.
Decide what you will pack and what you want the crew to handle. Keep keys, medication and documents with you, and separate anything that must stay at the old address. At the destination, room labels help the crew place boxes without asking you about every one.
What to share for your estimate
- Pickup and delivery addresses, including any extra stop
- Floors, elevators and the nearest permitted loading space
- Furniture that needs taking apart and items that need special handling
- Preferred date, key handover time and packing still to be done

Questions about local moving
What affects the estimate for a local move?
