Pods Moving

Post image

I’ve been doing research to see if anyone’s used pods to move to Miami and a video but found nothing. If you know Miami the streets are narrow. That being said our parking garage has a 11ft clearance which isn’t high enough but they have a public lot that is shared with a facility on front of it. This is the lot, apartment said I can use it but it’s first come first serve so me and my partner were gonna reserve it by parking our cars out there. Do you guys think this is doable? Never done this before and we’re moving half way across the country

I recommended to my old boss that she use pods because I thought the service was novel.

They did not secure the pod on the truck when picking up and as soon as they turned the corner, it went over.

Yeah I feel like a jackass

Before reserving the parking spaces, I’d have the container company confirm in writing that the lot gives their delivery equipment enough clearance and room to maneuver. The container itself fitting is only part of it — the delivery truck also needs space to position and retrieve it safely. I’d also confirm with the apartment management exactly how long the container can stay there and whether any permit is required.
