This refers to the use of a smaller vehicle to provide access to residences when movers can’t use their regular large moving equipment.

Yes, professional movers are prepared to move in almost any condition including sleet, snow or rain. Just make sure you clear the driveway beforehand if you are moving in snowy conditions. |
