**What Is a Moving Shuttle — and Why Do We Use One? 🚚**
Sometimes, a full-size moving van simply can’t safely or legally reach your home. Narrow streets, low-clearance bridges, tight turns, steep driveways, or limited parking can make access difficult.
That’s where a **shuttle truck** comes in.
A shuttle is a smaller moving truck used to transport your belongings between your home and the larger moving van. Our professional moving crews carefully transfer your items between the two vehicles, helping ensure your move stays safe, efficient, and on schedule.
At **Herlihy Moving & Storage**, we plan for the details so your move goes smoothly—even when the big truck can’t make it to your front door.
**Herlihy Moving & Storage — Moving Made Easier.**
