Do I need to rent a moving truck for labor-only services?

Yes. We provide the professional muscle to handle all the heavy lifting for your local move. You'll need to rent a moving truck or container separately from companies like U-Haul, Penske, Budget, PODS, or PackRat. This labor-only model lets you save 40–50% compared to full-service movers while maintaining control over your moving timeline and budget.

What supplies do the movers bring?

Our movers arrive with all essential lifting equipment, including shoulder straps and a 2-wheel dolly. We strongly recommend renting moving blankets with your truck rental so our crew can properly wrap and protect your furniture during loading and unloading.

How should I prepare for move day?

To maximize efficiency and keep your hourly costs down:

  • Box up all loose items before the movers arrive
  • Disassemble large furniture pieces to ensure they fit through doorways and stairways
  • Wrap fragile items carefully with bubble wrap or packing paper
  • Clear pathways from rooms to the truck or container
