Planning tips
Tips for your New York to Boston move
A few things worth planning early on this route.
- 01
Trucks stay off the parkways
Commercial vehicles are banned from the Hutchinson River and Merritt parkways, so moving trucks take I-95 through Connecticut. That stretch is often congested, one reason delivery windows are confirmed with your quote.
- 02
Avoid September 1 in Boston
Many Boston leases start on September 1, when streets, elevators and trucks are in short supply. The city also issues street occupancy permits for parking a moving truck, so apply early.
- 03
Book the Manhattan freight elevator
Many Manhattan co-ops and condos limit moves to set weekday hours, require a reserved freight elevator and ask for the mover's certificate of insurance. Request your building's rules as soon as you have a date.
