The Salisbury-to-Philly trip heads straight up the Delmarva spine. We take US-13 north through Delaware, hop onto US-1, and bring your household into Philadelphia or its suburbs — about 125 miles, done in a single day with the same crew start to finish. It is one of our more common northbound routes.
Folks make this move for Philadelphia’s hospitals and universities, for a new job in Center City, or to be closer to family up in the metro. We see plenty of young Shore residents chasing a first real career and older couples moving back near grandkids in the suburbs.
Always Moving runs this corridor with our own trucks and our own movers. There is no swap to a partner carrier halfway up the peninsula and no warehouse where your furniture sits overnight. The crew chief who walks your Salisbury home is the one directing the unload in Philadelphia.
Tight Philly streets and old-house stairs
Philadelphia neighborhoods are full of narrow trinity stairs, no driveways, and blocks where a 26-footer barely fits. Our crews carry runners, hand trucks, and shoulder dollies for exactly that, and we scout parking and any permit needs before the day. Up the peninsula on US-13 we keep an eye on the marine forecast in storm season so a coastal nor’easter doesn’t catch us mid-route. One flat written quote covers the whole trip, signed before we load.
