Coastal Santa Monica at 78° and Woodland Hills at 96° are the same Tuesday. Valley, SGV and Inland moves get the strictest dawn scheduling; coastal moves have more flexibility. Cross-town moves (Valley→Westside) load early in the hot zone and unload comfortable.
| Item | What happens at 130°F (truck box in sun) | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Candles, crayons, lipstick | Liquid by noon | Your car |
| Vinyl records | Warp permanently | Your car, flat |
| Electronics, batteries | Stress, swelling | Load last, unload first |
| Instruments | Glue joints + tuning suffer | Your car or deep-load center |
| Wine | Cooked above 80° | Your car, AC on |
| Veneer furniture | Delamination risk on long sits | No parked-truck afternoons — our rule anyway |
Dawn start, shade-side truck staging, water in rotation (we bring our own), heavier crew sizes on big homes so nobody grinds through hour nine at 3 PM, and the loaded truck drives immediately — never parks through an afternoon. The schedule protects your goods and the crew's legs simultaneously.
July and August month-end Saturdays are LA moving's Super Bowl — gone 3–4 weeks out. Mid-week 7 AM slots stay open latest and run coolest. Same rates every day with us: estimate yours or call (213) 676-9460.
Moves run year-round, but above 95°F we shift to dawn loading (7–8 AM start), rotate crews more, and never leave loaded trucks parked in sun. Valley summer moves should always book morning slots.
Candles, vinyl records, electronics, instruments, wine, houseplants, and anything glued — veneer furniture can delaminate in a 130°F truck box. These ride in your air-conditioned car or load last/unload first.
Rates stay the same with us, but summer demand peaks — end-of-month July and August Saturdays sell out 3–4 weeks ahead. Mid-week mornings stay open longest.
