Renting the truck yourself but don’t want to carry the couch? 1st Priority Movers sends trained crews to load or unload your rental, POD, or U-Box — muscle and technique without paying for a truck you already have.
What labor-only covers
You handle the rental and the driving; we handle the heavy lifting. It is the same W-2 crew that runs our full moves, just for the load or the unload.
- Loading a rented truck, trailer, POD, or U-Box at your home
- Unloading the same on the other end and placing items by room
- Tight, weight-balanced stacking so nothing shifts on a long-distance haul up I-35 or I-10
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly — beds, tables, shelving
- Heavy single items: appliances, a sofa, a treadmill, garage gear — for a piano or safe, see our specialty moving crew
- Rearranging or staging within a home you are not leaving
No hidden add-ons
Hourly labor at $110 for two movers and $150 for three, pads and dollies in hand. No fuel surcharge, no stair fee, no “heavy item” upcharge sprung at the door. The rate you are quoted is the rate you pay.
How hourly labor works
- Pick your crew size. Two movers for a loft or POD, three for a full house or a tight time window — tell us on your free quote request.
- Have the rental ready. Truck or container on site; we bring pads, straps, and dollies.
- We load smart. Heavy and square on the bottom, weight balanced, everything strapped for the highway.
- Clock the hours. You pay for time worked — just the standard two-hour minimum, no padded surprises.
