FAQ
Your Moving Questions Answered
Do I need to rent a moving truck or container?
Yes. We provide the professional moving labor to handle all the heavy lifting, loading, and unloading. You'll need to rent your own moving truck (U-Haul, Penske, Budget, etc.) or storage container (PODS, PackRat, etc.) separately. This labor-only approach saves you 40–60% compared to full-service moving companies.
What equipment do the movers bring?
Our loading and unloading crews bring all essential lifting equipment, including shoulder straps and a 2-wheel dolly. We highly recommend renting moving blankets with your truck rental so the movers can safely wrap and protect your furniture during loading and transport.
How should I prepare for my moving labor appointment?
To make the most of your hourly moving help:
- Have your rental truck or container ready at the scheduled time
- Box up all loose items – Movers can't load unpacked belongings
- Disassemble large furniture if needed to fit through doorways and into the truck
- Wrap fragile items carefully to prevent damage during loading and transport
Are your movers fully insured?
Yes. Moving Muscle is fully insured, and all our movers are background-checked, vetted, and trained. With over 4,250 loading and unloading jobs completed, you can count on us for professional, reliable moving labor service.
What if I don't know how many hours to book?
No worries! Our dedicated support team is here to help. Call us at 980-920-3022 or email support@getmovingmuscle.com, and we’ll guide you through the process.
What if I need to reschedule or cancel my moving labor appointment?
We understand that plans change. If you need to reschedule or cancel, contact our support team at least 24 hours before your scheduled move. Changes made within 24 hours may incur a $50 fee to compensate the movers for their blocked time.
What areas do you service?
We currently service the following areas:
- Charlotte, NC
- Raleigh, NC
- Nashville, TN
Do the movers assemble or disassemble furniture?
Our movers are happy to assist with basic furniture assembly and disassembly during your loading or unloading job. However, they do not provide tools. To save time and money on your hourly moving labor, we recommend handling disassembly before the movers arrive and reassembly after they leave.
