What's included
- Move-in and finals-week scheduling around campus traffic rules
- Parent-pays, student-receives handoffs with separate contacts
- Delivery to a nearby lot when campus roads are closed to car haulers
- Itemized pricing so nobody is guessing what the invoice covers
How it runs
- 1Quote the lane with dorm ZIP as pickup or delivery.
- 2Add the student as the on-site contact for the driver.
- 3Lock the rate and pick the widest pickup window the calendar allows.
- 4Inspect and sign the digital BOL at delivery; photos back up any claim.
Students FAQ
Can the carrier deliver directly to a dorm?
Rarely during move-in week. Plan for a delivery point a few minutes off campus; it is faster than waiting for a rig to negotiate a closed campus loop.
Can a parent book while the student receives?
Yes. The booking contact and the on-site contact are separate fields, and both get milestone notifications.
How early should we book for August move-in?
Two to three weeks. Rates on university corridors climb sharply in the last ten days before classes start.
