Yes — we plan parking at both ends before move day. Canal homes have no street-side truck access — alley staging planned in advance. 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 Venice means walk streets and permit-only curbs, so we stage the route and keep the carry short. Because the two are close, the drive — billed as double drive time under California's CPUC rules — stays short, which keeps your total low.
