Pickup & delivery
Local considerations for Fort Worth.
Street access
A full-size carrier often can't fit on residential streets in denser parts of Fort Worth. Expect to meet at a nearby wide street or a large parking lot. We'll confirm the spot before pickup day.
Campus timing
Demand around TCU peaks in late summer and at the end of the spring term. Book early if you're moving at those times, and check whether campus lots allow a carrier.
Highway handoff
If your street is hard to reach, a large lot near I-35W is often the quickest handoff point in Fort Worth.
