Moving Labor for Your Truck or Container
You rented the truck or the container and you'll drive it yourself. You just need people who know how to load it so nothing shifts and everything fits. That's a labor-only job.

What a labor-only crew does
We load your U-Haul, Penske, Budget, PODS, U-Box or any other truck or container. Heavy things go in first, against the front wall. The load is built in tiers, wrapped where it needs to be and strapped to keep shifting to a minimum. At the other end, a crew can unload it and put the furniture in the right rooms.
You drive the rental. Our part is the loading and the unloading.
Pads, straps and blankets
Rental pads tend to be thin, and there are rarely enough. Tell us if you need more and we'll bring blankets, pads and straps. Good wrapping goes a long way on a long drive. On labor-only jobs you drive the truck, so the trip itself isn't covered by us.
Booking a labor-only job
Send the address, the size of the truck or container, the date and roughly what's going in. If the container is being dropped on the street, make sure the city or town allows it and that it's placed where we can reach the doors. The labor rate is quoted per job, ask for it in the quote form or by text.

Common questions
Can you unload at the other end too?
In Massachusetts, yes. Book both ends together if you can, it's easier to schedule.
How long does loading a container take?
It depends on the size and how ready things are. Send the container size and your list, and we'll quote the crew and the price in writing.
Can you just move furniture inside the house?
Yes. Rearranging, moving things up or down stairs, or loading a dumpster are all labor jobs.
