Moving and Trucking
The function of the Moving and Trucking Department is to provide in-house support to the campus and as needed assist vendors/contractors making large deliveries to residential halls and academic departments. Moving and Trucking schedules their work two weeks (10 business days) in advance to occur on days when they are not picking up recycling or making deliveries for the Receiving Department.
Requests for large moves and special events should be placed as far in advance as possible to accommodate your needs. We have a limited number of tables and requests are handled on a first come, first serve basis. All requests for tables, chairs, and set ups for an event MUST have a reservation number assigned to your FUSE form from the events coordinator.
Facilities Operations does not accept any work requests to move surplus equipment. This function is handled by the property control clerk on campus. We will generate a work order for Moving and Trucking only at the request of the property control clerk once they establish the proper storage or disposal of equipment. Any information on property control procedures can be found here.
Moving and Trucking works Monday through Friday from 6:30am to 3:00pm and does not deliver after their normal business hours, on weekends or on holidays. If your event is over the weekend, the delivery will be made on Friday prior to 3pm and pick up will be on Monday after 6:30am. It will be the requesting departments responsibility to store or keep track of tables and chairs once their event is over and until they are picked up during the next regular business day. Your department will be charged for losses and damages.
