Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Bakersfield.
Street access
A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Bakersfield. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.
Off the interstate
With I-5 about 12 miles away, some carriers will ask to meet closer to the highway. Door-to-door pickup is still the default whenever the truck can reach you.
