Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Leavenworth.
Base access
Civilian carriers usually can't drive onto Fort Leavenworth. Plan to meet off-base in Leavenworth, and line up dates with your report or departure date if you're on PCS orders.
Neighborhood rules
HOA rules, cul-de-sacs and low trees are common in Leavenworth's neighborhoods. A nearby shopping-center lot or main road is the usual backup.
Off the interstate
With I-29 about 8 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.
