Labor-only moving means you supply the transportation and we supply the muscle. We load, unload, or do both — at a fraction of the price of a full-service move.   ### Loading Help We arrive at your home and load your rental truck, U-Haul, PODS, ABF, or trailer using proper tie-downs, blankets, and weight distribution so nothing shifts in transit.   ### Unloading Help You drive — we meet you on the other end. Our crew unloads the truck, places furniture in the right rooms, and reassembles beds and tables before we leave.   ### Inside Moves & Heavy Lifting Need to rearrange a house, move heavy items between floors, stage for a sale, or empty a storage unit? We handle the lifting so you don’t throw out your back. Simple & Transparent ## How Our Moving Labor Service Works 1 #### Tell Us the Job Share the home size, what you need lifted, and whether it’s loading, unloading, or both. 2 #### Get a Flat Hourly Rate You receive a written quote with crew size, two-hour minimum, and any travel charges spelled out. 3 #### We Show Up Ready The crew brings dollies, straps, blankets, and shrink wrap. You don’t need to provide gear. 4 #### You Pay for Time Used Billing is by the hour after the minimum, so you never pay for a full day if the job takes three hours. Hourly Pricing ## Labor-Only Moving Rates Pricing varies by crew size and day of the week. These are typical starting rates for most jobs in the Atlanta metro area. ### 2 Movers From $109/hr - Studio & 1-bedroom loads - Storage unit emptying - Furniture rearrangement - 2-hour minimum Most Popular ### 3 Movers From $149/hr - 2–3 bedroom homes - Loading or unloading - Stairs & appliances - 2-hour minimum ### 4 Movers From $189/hr - Larger 3–4 bedroom homes - Heavy items & pianos - Same-day fast turnaround - 3-hour minimum Prices shown are starting rates and vary by location, day, and crew availability.

Adding labor-only help can cut a full-service moving bill by 50–70%. #### Faster Than DIY With Friends A trained two-person crew loads a 2-bedroom apartment in 2–3 hours. Friends and pizza usually take all day. #### No Damaged Walls or Floors Our crew is trained to use furniture pads, corner protectors, and tie-downs to protect everything in transit. #### Properly Loaded Trucks An overweight or unbalanced truck is dangerous and increases damage. Our crews know how to pack a truck tight. #### Insured Crew Members Every crew member is covered by workers’ comp and general liability — so an injury at your home isn’t on you. #### Last-Minute Availability Because we’re not driving long routes, labor-only crews are often available within 24–48 hours.
