Moving company questions when moving to TV from out of state

[birdiebill]

We are building in Osceola Hills. Our house will be available in November. When we move from Indiana we will need a moving company. Can semi-trailers used by major moving companies access the villages via the gates? Or will they have to unload from the semi into smaller trucks at a regional/local company warehouse? We are not moving enough belongings to fill a semi, but I know they generally move long distances with a full semi with multi-family belongings.

Yes they can access the Villages through the gates. If you live on a cul-de-sac they may have a long carry charge depending on the radius of the circle.

We live in a CYV off St. Charles. I was waiting by the phone expecting a call from the driver, when I suddenly saw the biggest United Van Lines tractor trailer pull up in front of our place. Not only did they have to come through the Buena Vista/St. Charles gate, but make 3 turns inside our villa community. It was a truck like this;

We had originally contracted through a local agent with Mayflower. After three weeks of no delivery, our agent called and said they had room on a United truck going to Tampa, I said fine go with that. Since they were so late, I called Mayflower in Chicago and they said we get a $125 refund for every day they were late, they gave me an email address to contact. The delivery was on a Sunday, on Monday I emailed and on Friday a check for $2,000 was in our mail.
