How Labor-Only Works
Simple, flexible, affordable
You rent the truck, container, or trailer.
Our crew loads, unloads, and handles the heavy lifting.
You pay only for labor, often less than full-service movers.
Our Promise
No Surprises
Fixed, posted rates
You see our rate before you book. The price in your signed work order is the price you pay.
Sign before we lift
You review and e-sign your work order on your own device when you book, and we email you a copy. Nothing starts until it's signed.
Know your crew
Our crew lead introduces the team when they arrive. Ask anytime, and we'll tell you who's on your job.
Honest time tracking
Your crew lead texts you when the clock starts, stops for breaks, and ends. Breaks longer than 10 minutes are not billed.
Same-day invoice
You receive an itemized invoice the same day your job is completed, showing start and stop times and every charge.
Your truck, your keys, your belongings
Because we are labor-only, your belongings never leave your control. No one can hold your items for payment.
