Garage-first moves
Palmdale moves start in the garage more often than not, because large lots at 2,657 feet turn garages into storage for anything the desert sun claimed. Crews back the truck in, stage ramps, and clear the garage before touching the house so boxes flow one direction.
Wide driveways mean one parking spot and short carries, and that keeps the hourly meter honest. With 169,450 residents spread across 106.08 square miles, the sixth-largest city in Los Angeles County, Antelope Valley moves are batched so the route never doubles back to the basin.
