A regional van line paid Wade Hutchins to run crews out of a Commerce City terminal for seven years, right after he grew up a few miles away in RiNo.
The same problem kept surfacing on jobs with any real change in elevation: an out-of-state crew with no idea a foothills driveway needed a three-point turn, no read on a locked HOA move-in slot, no plan when a hailstorm hit mid-load.
2015: trucks of his own
So in 2015, Wade bought trucks instead of borrowing someone else’s, hired movers as employees instead of day labor, and drew one line in the sand: a flat rate, written, before anyone touches a box. Eleven years in, he’s still climbing onto the truck for mountain-town and high-rise jobs, and the office phone still rings through to him most Saturdays.
The altitude problem, explained
Cardboard and tape both give out sooner at 5,280 feet than they would at sea level, and a switchback driveway in the foothills calls for a different truck approach than a flat cul-de-sac. Crews train on both before a customer ever meets them.
