Your Rockland Movers & Ferry-Area Moving Experts
On many downtown streets the city allows free two-hour parking Monday to Saturday. From May 15 to October 15, Main Street between Park Street and Summer Street, along with the Winter Street, Thorndike and Custom House lots, switches to paid parking. We look at the current rules for your date and plan the load around them.
Heading to Vinalhaven or North Haven? The Maine State Ferry Service runs both crossings from the Rockland terminal, and vehicles travel on reservations or line-up numbers. We confirm island moves with you one job at a time, and we can send a loading and unloading crew or quote a full move from our moving services once the ferry details are set.
You Ask. We Respond.

Downtown Parking, Ferry Moves & Local Access
Before moving day we go through the details that decide how a Rockland job runs:
-
Many downtown streets allow two hours of free parking, Monday to Saturday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., so loading time is planned around that limit
-
Paid parking runs May 15 to October 15 on part of Main Street and in the Winter Street, Thorndike and Custom House lots
-
MaineDOT lists the crossing at about 1 hour 15 minutes to Vinalhaven and 1 hour 10 minutes to North Haven, so island days follow the sailing schedule
-
A truck leaving Vinalhaven without a reservation needs a line-up number from the island terminal, and the ferry service asks for the truck's actual length
-
You hold the ferry booking and we fit the crew schedule to it
City parking rules and ferry schedules change, so we check them again for your actual moving date.
Comprehensive Insurance Coverage
Every Rockland job runs under our full coverage:
-
Auto
-
General Liability
-
Workers' Compensation
-
Cargo Insurance

Frequently Asked Questions
Questions we hear from people moving into, out of or around Rockland.
What won't you move?
We don't move food, hazardous materials or weapons. If you're unsure about anything else, ask your move manager before moving day.
Who books the ferry for a Vinalhaven or North Haven move?
You do, through the Maine State Ferry Service. Share the sailing, the reservation and the vehicle details with your move manager, and we build the crew schedule around them. We review each island move before confirming it.
Where will the truck park downtown?
That depends on the street and the date. Many downtown streets allow two hours free Monday to Saturday, and from mid-May to mid-October paid parking applies on Main Street and in three municipal lots. Give us the address and we check the current signs before move day.
Can you handle antiques from an older Rockland house?
Yes, through our white glove and specialty service. Send photos and measurements of the piece, the stairs and the doorways so we can plan the carry. Floors and door jambs are protected as standard.
What if my ferry date or closing date moves?
A portable storage trailer can hold your things in between. We own eight enclosed, lockable trailers from 12 to 28 feet, rented month to month and placed where your property has room.
