Leaving Venice often means a loft or home down a narrow walk street, where the carry to the truck is the real work. Arriving in DTLA means tower logistics — dock reservations, elevator windows and COIs — handled before the truck rolls. Both ends shape the timing more than the distance, so we lock parking and access on each side before move day.
