Neighborhood Moves When You Don’t Drive

We were going to call this article “You can’t take your queen size mattress on the A Train” but people have, in fact, tried to move their bed on the subway. That’s not all. New York folklore is full of tales of people transporting couches, recliners, tables and televisions on the train. Not all of these tales end particularly well – it turns out the transit authority gets a little cranky when someone’s dinette set keeps passengers from entering and exiting the train in an efficient manner!

Trying to move your furniture on the train is a hassle, but what are you going to do if you need to change apartments in NYC and you don’t drive? Renting a moving truck requires a driver’s license. Honestly, you need more than a driver’s license to navigate a large moving truck through city streets. It helps to have a lot of experience, a fearless attitude, and an in-depth knowledge of how to re-route your journey if heavy traffic is slowing the journey down too much.

The best solution saves you from trying to wrangle your furniture onto and off of the train and doesn’t require a driver’s license. Simply call your NYC professional moving company and arrange for a neighborhood move. Neighborhood moves are available for families and businesses. Full service moves include packing, loading, unpacking, and set up at your new place: it’s so simple! Best of all, you never have to worry about where to park the moving truck. As part of the planning process, Shleppers handles the parking and loading/unloading logistics at your old and new place.

New York is an amazing place in part because you don’t have to drive. There are plenty of iconic images of people carrying everything they own down the sidewalk as they change apartments, but you don’t have to be ‘that guy’. The smart, strategic, simple way to move is to have the pros do the heavy lifting for you. All it takes is a phone call – and you never have to worry about the MTA staff giving you and your couch a hard time!
