Certificate of Insurance (COI)
Berkeley office buildings and UC Berkeley campus facilities require proof of insurance before allowing movers on-site. We streamline this process:
Building and Campus Coordination in Berkeley
Berkeley office buildings and university facilities have specific requirements for commercial moves. We handle all coordination so you can focus on your work:
UC Berkeley Campus Logistics
We coordinate with UC Berkeley Facilities Services for building access, loading dock permits, parking authorizations, and move scheduling. Our crews understand campus navigation and building-specific rules.
Historic Building Protection
Berkeley's older commercial buildings have original woodwork, narrow stairwells, and vintage freight elevators. We use floor runners, door frame padding, and corner guards to protect architectural details during every move.
Street Access and Loading Zones
Downtown Berkeley and campus-adjacent streets have restricted parking. We secure loading zone permits, plan truck staging, and coordinate with city and campus traffic when needed for safe access.
Frequently Asked Questions About Office Moving in Berkeley

Professional and thorough
I recently hired OnTrack Moving for our family’s relocation from Oakland to a storage unit in Santa Barbara, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the service we received. Mauricio and Victor handled our two-day move with exceptional professionalism and care. Both Mauricio and Victor as well as their Oakland crew, were incredibly polite and respectful throughout the entire process....
