Moving in the Bronx
What should I plan before moving in the Bronx?
For moving in the Bronx, share both addresses, the item list, and stair or lift access. Ask who supplies the vehicle. Check the current truck route and each building’s move rules. HandyFox does not promise a mover for every address or date. Agree on the route, scope, and timing with the pro.
Plan the last block
Give the driver both street addresses, not just the building names. Add the entrance you will use and any steps from the curb. Ask how close the truck can legally stop.
Use the current truck routes
As of 2026-10-19, East 147th Street between Third Avenue and Willis Avenue was added to the truck network. The city change list took effect on October 4, 2026.
For a move near East 147th Street, do not rely on an old route saved in a phone. Ask the driver to use the current city rules.
Check the last leg
As of 2026-10-19, city truck rules let a truck reach an address off the network by the most direct route from the nearest truck-route junction. Drivers must then return by the most direct route to the nearest truck route. Posted signs still matter.
Agree on the work
Say whether you need packing, lifting, or taking furniture apart. Do not assume a request includes boxes, a truck, or waste removal. Learn how HandyFox works before you set your move plan.
