Shuttle Service

In the moving and storage business, ‘shuttle’ refers to a necessary service when large moving trucks can’t reach your location due to space constraints or other limitations. Columbine Moving & Storage CO offers efficient moving shuttle​ services to ensure your move goes smoothly, no matter the challenges. Contact us today to learn how we can make your move hassle-free!

What is a Shuttle in Moving?

A shuttle occurs when the over-the-road truck, usually 70 to 80 feet long, cannot park within 75 feet of the loading or delivery address. In these cases, a smaller truck is used to transport items to or from the larger van. Shuttles may be necessary due to various conditions, such as road limitations, weather conditions, or city parking regulations. For instance, snow-packed roads, narrow streets, or low-hanging tree limbs may require moving shuttle​ services.

How Shuttle Service Works

• Shuttle at Origin: If a shuttle is needed at the origin, it’s included in the move’s cost. The over-the-road truck parks at a safe distance, and a smaller truck transports your belongings to the larger van in multiple trips if necessary.
• Shuttle at Destination: When required at the destination, the process is reversed. There may be no charge for this service, depending on the contract.
