01 / Direct delivery
No planned warehouse transfers

One loaded truck. One destination.

Belongings stay on the same moving truck throughout the planned route.

02 / Hub-and-spoke delivery
Handling varies by route

A network with possible transfers.

Some shipments pass through facilities where belongings may change trucks.

Additional facilities or trucks may be involved, depending on the shipment and provider.

Good to know: Not all van lines transfer belongings, and switching a driver or tractor does not necessarily mean your items are unloaded. This illustration shows possible handling—not a particular route.
