Last-Minute & Same-Day Moves — Still a Real Window, Not a Guess

Short notice changes the schedule. It doesn't change how the window gets set.

This goes directly to Nairi, no forwarding, no queue — she or Eddie calls back the same day to get your North Hollywood move on the calendar and flag anything worth a closer look at the walkthrough.

Leases fall through, closing dates move, production schedules change with two days’ notice — when that happens, dispatch still builds a real window around your move, not a rushed “we’ll get there when we get there.”

What Changes on Short Notice, What Doesn’t

Changes Stays the Same
Lead time before move day Tracked arrival window, set before the truck leaves
Crew availability, first-come basis Hourly rate by crew size, $155/$195/$245
Packing may be skipped to save time Basic released-value protection on every job

How Nairi Handles Same-Day Requests

Nairi Sarkisian checks which crew and truck are available that day, then sets a window the same way she would for a move booked three weeks out — she just has fewer hours to work with. If a slot’s open, you get an actual arrival time, not an approximate one.

Call Ahead When You Can

  • Morning calls have the best shot at a same-day slot
  • Next-day moves have more flexibility for crew size and truck choice
  • Full-service packing add-on is available if your things aren’t boxed yet, subject to crew availability

Same-day availability depends on what’s already on the schedule that day — call Nairi directly rather than booking online for last-minute moves, it’s faster.

What This Service Includes

  • Same-day or next-day crew and truck, subject to availability
  • Tracked arrival window, even on short notice, not an open-ended estimate
  • Standard hourly rate by crew size — no last-minute surcharge added to the base rate
  • Basic released-value protection on every job regardless of lead time
  • Optional full-service packing add-on if boxes aren't ready
  • Direct line to dispatch for real-time updates on move day

What This Service Costs

Crew size sets your hourly rate — $155/hr for two movers, $195/hr for three, $245/hr for four — or if you’d rather book off a written number, Eddie can walk the place first and price it before move day

That hourly rate covers the truck, dollies, furniture pads, and shrink wrap — nothing billed separately: $155 for two movers, $195 for three, $245 for four, and $50/hr for each mover beyond that. A refundable $200 deposit holds your date and comes straight off the final invoice. Every job includes basic released-value protection at no added cost; for anyone who wants more coverage on a specific item, Eddie sets up a full-value quote at your walkthrough.

Questions About This Service

How last-minute can a move be booked?
Same-day is possible depending on what's already on the schedule. Call Nairi directly, morning calls have the best shot at an open same-day slot.
Do you charge more for a last-minute move?
The hourly rate by crew size stays the same, $155, $195, or $245. What changes is availability, not the base rate.
Will I still get an arrival window, or just a rough guess?
You still get a tracked window. Nairi sets it the same way she would for a move booked weeks out, just with fewer hours of lead time to plan around.
What if my things aren't packed yet?
Full-service packing is available as an add-on for last-minute moves, subject to crew availability that day. Mention it when you call so Nairi can staff for it.
Why does a production schedule change count as a reason to call you last-minute?
North Hollywood has a lot of households on entertainment-industry call sheets. A schedule change with two days' notice is common enough that we plan for it, not an unusual request.
What Sets Aliance Transportation Services Apart Around North Hollywood

Here’s What Aliance Transportation Services Does Differently Than Most Movers Around North Hollywood

Permitted Through California’s DMV — Not Just A Line On The Website

Household movers working North Hollywood and the rest of the San Fernando Valley have to carry a Household Goods Carrier permit through the California DMV; Aliance Transportation Services keeps it current every year, no lapses. The moment a job crosses the state line toward Nevada, Arizona, or beyond, it’s US DOT and MC authority on file that’s covering the move instead.

You Pick Your Coverage Before The Truck Ever Loads

Basic released-value protection comes standard on every job at no cost. Ask Eddie about full-value coverage at your walkthrough if you'd rather have the higher payout ceiling You hear both options once, at the estimate — nobody's pitching an upgrade halfway down your stairwell with a dresser on their shoulder.

The Walkthrough Builds A Plan, Not Just A Price

Before Aliance Transportation Services existed, Armen spent six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet, holding drivers to a tracked ETA window on every single run. Eddie brings that same discipline to the in-home estimate — mapping furniture placement, load order, and building access ahead of time: elevator windows, stairwell turns, tight doorways all worked out in advance, so the crew walks in with a plan already set instead of working one out in the truck.

All Twenty-One Of Us Are On Payroll, Not A Rotating Bench

Twenty-one people are on payroll at Aliance Transportation Services, seventeen of them movers running eleven trucks — no day-labor crews brought in when a week gets busy, no subcontractors filling out a truck. Armen built it that way on purpose: a tracked window only holds up if the crew running it actually works for the company that set it.

Every Move Planned Before The First Box Does.

Furniture placement, load order, and building access get worked out at the walkthrough, before anyone touches a box on moving day. Armen Petrosyan started Aliance Transportation Services in 2011 after six years dispatching a 40-truck regional freight fleet, and built that same tracked-window discipline into every household move instead of leaving the schedule to a guess.
