Local Move
Local move is a move that
is within a 100-mile radius and state of origin.
Many factors can affect the cost of a local move.
Such as:
|
|
How ready are you when the movers arrive? |
|
|
Are all your belongings packed? |
|
|
How close can the truck park to your home?
|
|
|
Any hard-to-move items? |
|
|
How much packing, unpacking and furniture
placement would you like the movers to do for
you? |
The more information you provide your mover prior to
your move date, the better your chances are of having a
smooth move within your budget. We are a full-service
moving and storage company. You can walk out the door,
leave the packing up to us and we can take it from
there. Or, you can pack your own belongings and leave
the boxes by your front door and we can easily load them
on the truck for you and unload them in your new home.
Based on the information you will provide us, we can
determine the right number of professional movers to get
the job done just the way you want it. And just a
reminder, the more information you give us, the easier
your move can be.
Moving Charges Price is determined based on five
elements: labor, trucks, materials, travel time, and
valuation/insurance.
| 1. |
Labor
- You pay an hourly rate for each member of your
moving crew. The clock starts when the movers
arrive at your front door and it stops when they
complete their work at your new home. |
| 2. |
Trucks
- You pay an hourly rate for each truck used for
your move. Keep in mind that you will need a
truck that has been specifically designed to
move household goods. |
| 3. |
Materials
- You pay for the exact cost of boxes and other
packing materials provided by the mover during
the move. |
| 4. |
Travel
time - You pay a fee for the time it takes
the movers to get from our facilities to the
origin of the move, and back to our facilities
after the move is completed. The charge usually
equals 60 to 90 minutes of the cost for labor
and trucks. |
| 5. |
Valuation/Insurance - You pay a basic fee to
insure your belongings, in case of any damages
that may occur during the move. The chart below
