Risk of Cracking my Driveway With a Moving Van
 
Good morning,
We are moving into TV tomorrow! The driveway is15 years old and does not have any cracks in it. The moving van is a fully loaded Penske 26 footer. Do you routinely see these vans unloaded from the street or on the driveway?

Thank you

Our Penske 26’ truck unloaded on the street. The driveway was too short to unload cleanly.

Watching recent construction, the driveways here are minimum thickness with no reinforcement, I wouldn't risk it.

Our moving van was unloaded in the street. However at our new build, our Pod was delivered to our driveway, sat for 2 days then picked up. No damage to the driveway.

Street, you won't fit in the driveway without blocking the street.

By asking, you already know the answer...............there is a risk.

I would definitely advise unloading in the street if at all possible, just watch out for the sprinkler heads when you park, they typically do noy like trucks and I am sure you do not have the donuts installed yet. Also, unloading from the street will give you room onn the drive way for staging your stuff for a more orderly move into the garage or house.

Hello everyone,
I’ll be unloading from the road. Thanks to all who have provided your considered advise. I really appreciate.

Good idea. If moving company damaged your driveway good luck making them responsible for repair

Watching the comings and goings in our neighborhood, I see that professional movers ALWAYS load and unload from the street.

Rwirish 07-10-2024 05:42 AM

Why would they park in the driveway?

Good luck and WELCOME TO THE VILLAGES!

Unless you’re moving into a prestige home the driveway is usually not long enough for a 26’ truck. It should park in the street
