Personal item rules can vary by route, carrier requirements, and border requirements. Ask an Oakwood expert before placing belongings in the vehicle.
Can Oakwood move a non-running vehicle?

Timing depends on route, season, pickup and delivery access, vehicle type, paperwork, border requirements, weather, and carrier scheduling.
