Moves around Carlisle, from Dickinson College and the Army War College to the townships on both sides of I-81.
Moving in Carlisle.
Carlisle is the Cumberland County seat, home to Dickinson College, Penn State Dickinson Law and the U.S. Army War College at Carlisle Barracks. That mix shows up in the moves we’re asked about: as many apartments as houses, and plenty of moves on a school or assignment calendar.
Our base in Mechanicsburg is about twenty minutes east along the Carlisle Pike. Licensed in Pennsylvania (PUC A-8920056) and for interstate moves (U.S. DOT No. 3558337, MC 1194208).
