Moving in Queens
What should I plan before moving in Queens?
For moving in Queens, 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.
Send the full address twice
List the pickup and drop-off addresses on separate lines. Include the ZIP codes and the doors to use. Add photos of stairs and any tight turn that a sofa must pass.
Use the current truck routes
As of 2026-10-19, 44th Drive between Vernon Boulevard and Thomson Avenue was added to the truck network. The city change list took effect on October 4, 2026.
For a move near this stretch of 44th Drive, check the route against the new city list. Do not assume the map from a past move is still current.
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.
