How we charge...
Hourly rate is $128 an hour for 2 men with 1 truck. If more than 2 men are needed, we add $54 per hour for each additional man.
This hourly rate starts when we reach your door and continues until work is finished at the destination. If this total time (including loading, unloading and the drive from the load to the destination) is less than two hours, it is rounded up to two hours.
​
We then add a Trip Charge of at least one hour to cover some of the cost of getting to (and from) the job. This charge takes into account the time it takes to drive between the loading site and the destination, so if you are moving more than forty miles from our office then it may be increased to take that into account. This will be specified at the time the job is booked.
​
This means that the minimum charge for 2 men with a truck is $384 (which covers 2 hours work). This minimum increases in proportion to the hourly rate, so the minimum charge for 3 men with a truck is $546, also for 2 hours of work.
​
Moves where no truck is needed…
If no truck is needed, such as when someone is moving within the same building, the rate is $120 for a two man crew and $54 for each additional man.
The hourly rate starts when we reach your door, and we have the same two hour minimum, to which we add a one hour Trip Charge at the prevailing hourly rate.
This means the minimum charge for 2 men without a truck (for up to 2 hours of work) is $360. This minimum increases in proportion to the hourly rate, so the minimum charge for 3 men without a truck is $522, also for 2 hours of work.
Packing jobs…
The hourly rate for packing labor is the same as for no-truck moves (see above).
We charge for the cartons and packing materials that we use to protect your belongings. Please refer to the section “Boxes and Materials” to see our prices.
Please refer to the section “Valuation” regarding coverage for loss or damage.
