Labor-Only Moving

Labor-only jobs are for customers who have their own truck, trailer, or portable storage container and just need help loading or unloading it. We bring the crew, the tools, the blankets, and the dollies. You provide the transportation. This is the most affordable option if you're comfortable driving a truck yourself or if you're using a container service like PODS or U-Pack.

We'll load your truck the right way — heavy items and appliances on the bottom and toward the front, boxes stacked tight to prevent shifting, mattresses and sofas standing upright along the walls. Everything gets strapped or braced so it doesn't slide around during the drive. If you're loading a storage unit, we'll maximize the space and make sure you can still access items in the back if you need to.

Unloading is straightforward: we reverse the process, place items in the rooms you designate, and reassemble anything we took apart. Some customers hire us just to unload because they loaded the truck themselves and realized halfway through it's harder than it looks. No judgment — we've seen it plenty of times.

We also do in-home labor: moving furniture from one room to another, rearranging a living room, getting a piano up or down stairs, moving a gun safe into a basement. Two-hour minimum is standard, billed hourly after that. If the job runs over, we just keep the clock going and settle up at the end.

One thing to note: if you're using a rental truck, make sure it's the right size. A 26-foot truck is overkill for a one-bedroom apartment, and a 10-foot truck won't fit a three-bedroom house. We can advise on sizing when you book. Most U-Haul locations and other rental companies have sizing guides, but if you're not sure, call us and we'll walk you through it based on what you're moving.
