Hollywood to Downtown LA: what this move involves

Leaving Hollywood typically means an older walk-up with narrow stairs and permit-zoned streets to plan around. Arriving in DTLA means tower logistics — dock reservations, elevator windows and COIs — handled before the truck rolls. Because the two are close, the drive — billed as double drive time under California's CPUC rules — stays short, which keeps your total low.
