Loading & Unloading Labor

Loading & Unloading Labor | Three Movers

People often assume there are only two approaches to moving: either do it yourself or hire a hauler. While it’s true that these are the two most common approaches to shifting, the truth of the matter is that there is plenty of middle ground between the two. Professional removalists can usually order any service on its own, sometimes referred to as a la carte hauling services. This means you can hire carrying labor to help you with just about any part of the moving process you’d prefer not to do yourself. One of these most popular a la carte services is loading and unloading labor, a type of assistance known as labor-only shifting services.

If you’re trying to move on a limited budget, this may be the affordable solution you’ve been looking for. Let’s explain. When you hire movers to help you load and unload, you can still rent a moving truck and handle the packing and driving yourself. Still, you can also forego the difficult task of loading and boxes, furniture, and other belongings. This way, you’ll reap the substantial savings of doing some of the work yourself without having to shoulder the burden of the most difficult moving part: loading and unloading the moving truck.

Three Movers is a licensed, insured, and bonded moving company that caters to customers all over the United States, including Hawaii and Alaska. With local offices in virtually every major metro area in the country, there’s no job we can’t handle and no location we can’t get to! For a FREE estimate of loading and services for your next move, call us at (888) 202-0036 and tell us what you need! No job is too big or too small!

Labor-only loading and unloading services are still done by the same trained hauling professionals who handle all of our moving packages, so you can rest assured that everything will be done with the professionalism and care you expect from full-service moving. Our loading and transport services are charged by the hour, so you can enlist as little help as possible to help you stick to your budget. Here’s how it works:

Contact the haulers (or companies if you’d like to compare prices) and let them know you’re interested in hiring labor to help with loading and unloading. They’ll ask you some basic questions to learn what you need help with and when you need it. You simply provide them with an idea of the size of your move, usually in terms of how many bedrooms, and they’ll suggest how many men you’ll need to do the job based on the amount of furniture and other items. Once that has been established, you tell them where you’re carrying to or from and the dates you’ll need loading and unloading help, after which they’ll provide you with a time and cost estimate to let you know what you can expect to pay.

This process is not any different than requesting other types of hauling services, other than the fact that you’re simply paying for one aspect of the move and doing the rest yourself—again, a great way to realize significant cost savings. Another benefit is that labor-only services don’t have to be provided in the same city or region. Even if you’re moving across the country, Three Movers can provide loading help in one city and unloading help in another city without a problem. Tell us what you need and when and where, and we’ll show up with all the necessary equipment and manpower to get the job done!
