Yes — we plan parking at both ends before move day. Hillside streets near the Reservoir are narrow — smaller trucks recommended. We pull temporary no-parking permits when needed.
Leaving DTLA almost always means a high-rise — loading docks, freight-elevator windows and building COIs we line up in advance. Arriving in Silver Lake brings steep, narrow streets and stair access that we plan with staging and the right truck. We schedule the freeway leg outside rush windows, since the drive between them is billed double under CPUC rules.
