Stairwells, alleys and a 7 a.m. start
Walkup apartments set the tone for El Monte moves: narrow stairwells, shared alleys for loading and neighbors whose driveways are part of the route. The crew stages the truck in the alley where the city allows it and protects the stair runs before the first box moves, because drywall repair is not in anyone's quote.
The 10 freeway backs up early and the city commutes on it, so starts land at 7 a.m. before the road does the same. Family homes in the postwar tracts move faster than the walkups, but garages full of decades of storage show up in every neighborhood, and the estimate covers that shift from the first hour.
