Local moving context

What do Tecate moves typically involve?

The community is small on the US side, with most residential activity concentrated on the Mexican side of the border. Rural-residential properties on the US side run on large parcels along SR-94 and the secondary roads. Border-adjacent location means cross-border household-goods moves into the Tecate, Mexico region come up regularly.

Dispatch from central staging runs 65-80 minutes via SR-94. We schedule dedicated route days.
