A Glendale move can take longer when the crew reaches a locked gate, an unreserved elevator or a staircase that was not included in the plan. Before moving day, walk the route from the truck parking area to your front door at both addresses. Share the access details with Tru Nationwide LLC so the team can confirm the work and prepare your quote.
This checklist is for people planning an apartment, condo or home move in Glendale, Arizona. For service options, visit Glendale moving services.
Map the route at pickup and delivery
Start outside. Note where a moving truck may park, how far belongings must travel and whether the route includes gates, curbs, ramps or narrow corridors. Take clear photos of the route and share useful measurements with the moving team.
Check both locations. Easy pickup access does not mean the delivery address has the same conditions. Mention extra stops, storage units and any furniture that must go upstairs before the quote is finalized.
Describe stairs accurately
Tell the team which floor each home is on and how many flights the crew must use. Include exterior stairs, interior stairs and steps between the parking area and the entrance. Point out narrow landings, tight turns, low ceilings or loose handrails.
Measure large furniture and the tightest parts of the route when practical. A photo helps explain a turn, but it does not prove that a sofa or cabinet will fit. Ask the moving team to review difficult items in advance. Do not assume that a piece can be lifted over a railing or through a window.
Confirm elevator access with the property manager
Ask the property manager whether a moving elevator must be reserved and which hours are available. Confirm the reservation process, elevator location, loading entrance and any required protective padding. If the building requests insurance documentation, send those requirements to the moving team early enough for review.
These are property-specific questions, not rules that apply to every Glendale building. Get the instructions for your actual address. Share any elevator size or weight limits supplied by the property manager and explain whether residents will also be using the elevator during your move.
Agree on parking and loading arrangements
Confirm where the truck is allowed to stop and whether a space must be reserved. Ask about garage clearance, loading zones, gate entry and the distance from the approved parking spot to the elevator or stairs. Keep emergency access clear and follow the property's loading instructions.
Provide a contact who can open the gate or loading entrance when the crew arrives. If the reserved space or elevator becomes unavailable, notify Tru Nationwide LLC promptly so the team can discuss the changed access and timing.
Prepare belongings and clear the path
Finish packing before the agreed arrival window unless packing assistance is specifically included in your quote. Close and label cartons, keep small loose items together and separate items that will travel with you. Keep children and pets away from the working route.
Clear hallways and stairs of boxes, rugs and other obstacles. Tell the crew about delicate surfaces, fragile furniture and any item requiring special handling. Discuss furniture disassembly and reassembly beforehand rather than assuming it is included for every piece.
Choose the service that matches your transportation
The Arizona truck special is $199 for 2 movers, the truck and the first hour, including travel and standard supplies/equipment. Additional truck-special time is $96 per hour, billed $24 per 15 minutes.
The Arizona labor-only special is $199 for 2 movers and 2 hours. You provide the transportation. Confirm any additional labor-only time, packing work, supplies and other service details in your written quote.
All in-area customers qualify for the public 10% moving offer, without a 24-hour condition. Ask the team to confirm the applicable offer and full price for your move. Same-day and next-day service is available subject to confirmation of your requested slot.
Send a useful access summary before moving day
Include both addresses or ZIP codes, your preferred date, the furniture and box inventory, each floor level, stairs, elevator arrangements, parking instructions and the best contact for entry. Explain any deadlines for returning keys or finishing within a building's moving window.

Questions about Glendale stairs and elevators
Does every apartment building require an elevator reservation?
No single assumption fits every property. Ask your property manager about the rules for your building and pass the confirmed instructions to the moving team.
Are stairs automatically included in a moving-special price?
Describe the stairs and other access conditions when requesting your quote. The advertised special does not replace confirmation of your inventory, access, time and complete service terms.
What if the elevator stops working on moving day?
Contact the property manager and notify the moving team. Discuss the available route and any effect on the work, timing or quote before assuming the move can continue as originally planned.
Can I book labor-only help for my own truck?
Yes. With the Arizona labor-only special, you provide the truck or other agreed transportation. Confirm parking, loading access and the exact help needed with Tru Nationwide LLC.
