How the kerbside reality affects the move
Tight residential streets off maryhill road, patchy kerb access and longer carries from side roads often mean the ideal bay and the practical loading position are not the same thing. The best man and van plan is the one that reduces repeated walking, not just the one that looks closest on a map.
That distinction matters most on flats and partial-home moves where every extra carry is repeated across the full load.
What to settle before the van arrives
Confirm whether gates, fobs, lift bookings or managed parking rules apply, and decide what the driver should do if the first stopping point is unavailable.
A backup plan is usually what keeps the start of the move calm.
