Loading and unloading help (labor only)
Already have a rental truck, a PODS container or a trailer? We send movers with pads, dollies and straps to load it right.
Labor-only moves cost less because you supply the vehicle. You still get trained hands, pads and a load that does not shift on the highway.
A well-loaded container is packed tight from floor to ceiling, heavy items low, everything strapped in tiers. That is most of the difference between a container that arrives fine and one that arrives with a broken dresser.
Included
- Two or more movers with pads, dollies and straps
- Tiered, strapped loading of trucks, containers and trailers
- Unloading and placing furniture room by room
- Basic bed and table disassembly
Good to know
- Have the truck or container on site and unlocked when the crew arrives.
- Containers need a flat, level spot; check your HOA rules on how long one may sit on the driveway.
- Labor-only is not a fit for long carries on public streets in central Austin without parking arranged.
What it costs
Plus one flat $99 travel charge to bring the truck to you inside the Austin area. Lake Travis, Highland Lakes and other Hill Country addresses get their travel charge written into the quote before you book.
