Our Professional Labor Only Moving Services

At Chapa’s Moving Service, we take pride in helping our customers enjoy a positive, efficient moving experience. You provide the truck, and we can handle the rest! Here's what we can do to make your upcoming relocation easier.

Ensuring your belongings are safely and efficiently loaded into your rental truck is a critical but exhausting stage of moving day. Our movers by the hour make moving day a breeze by taking over the heavy lifting, bending, and twisting. Your belongings will be loaded efficiently and with great care into your rental truck, ready for the trip ahead. We can help load trucks from Budget, Penske, U-Haul, and Enterprise, and we can assist with unloading and setup at your destination.

Moving Truck Loading and Unloading

One of the most time-consuming and exhausting aspects of moving day is loading the rental truck. We can help by handling the heavy lifting! Our experienced movers arrive with all the necessary tools and equipment to load all types of furniture, oversized items, and belongings safely. We ensure your household goods are securely loaded onto the truck to prevent movement or damage in transit.

We can load and unload moving trucks from all major rental companies, including Enterprise, U-Haul, Penske, and Budget.

Storage Pod Loading and Unloading

Moving and storage containers are a convenient solution for on-site portable storage, long-term storage, or even long-distance moving with freight services. Containers are typically delivered to your location and either left on site or picked up once they're loaded for storage or relocation. You are responsible for filling the moving container.

Chapa’s Moving offers efficient container loading and unloading services. Our movers and moving helpers by the hour use the right equipment to load your items securely and optimize space in your storage pod.

We can load and unload moving pods from all major providers, including:

PODS containers
1-800-PACK-RAT
U-Haul U-Box containers
U-Pack ReloCubes
Go Mini’s portable storage
SmartBox pods
Red Rover containers
CubeSmart containers
UNITS storage containers
Zippy Shell pods

Freight Trailer Loading & Unloading

A freight moving company is a cost-effective option for a long-distance move. You are responsible for loading and unloading the freight container with your furniture and other belongings, and the freight mover handles transportation.

Our hourly moving help gives you all the benefits of a freight shipping service without the challenging and stressful loading process. We can help you load or unload a trailer from Old Dominion Household Services, U-Pack ABF Freight Services, and Estes SureMove.

Storage Unit Move-ins & Move-outs

Self-storage is convenient, but moving into and out of a storage facility definitely isn't. We make the process stress-free with hourly moving help. We can unload your moving truck into your unit, ensuring space is used efficiently, or help with a seamless move-out. Chapa’s Moving also offers storage services.

In-Home Moving Help

Do you need help with an in-home move? Whether it's moving pool tables into basements or setting up sectionals in high-rise building apartments, we can help. Our team of furniture movers can also assist with rearranging furniture to make sure your home is set up just the way you envision.

Hourly Packing Services

Save time and minimize worry with our hourly packing services. Our dedicated team can arrive with all the moving and packing supplies you need, including boxes and bubble wrap, or use your materials. Our hourly labor-only moving services mean your home can be packed in no time for a faster, more efficient move.

How Much Does Moving Labor Cost?

Hourly movers and labor-only services provide a cost-effective alternative to full-service moving companies. At Chapa’s Moving Service, we take pride in our competitive and affordable rates with no hidden fees. You will know exactly what to expect, with no surprises.

Labor-only moving rates are priced by the hour, depending on the number of movers you need. We have a two-person, two- to three-hour minimum charge, depending on the distance. You can get a larger crew for a higher hourly fee, which may be more cost-effective for a larger home.
