Published hourly crew rates
The crew rate is the starting point, not the complete quote. A smaller crew can cost less per hour but may need more time; a larger crew costs more per hour and can reduce the duration on suitable jobs.
| Crew | Published rate | Simple labor example |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $159/hr | 5 hours = $795 |
| 3 movers + truck | $199/hr | 6 hours = $1,194 |
| 4 movers + truck | $239/hr | 6 hours = $1,434 |
What changes the total
The estimator separates the work into furniture preparation, loose-item packing, loading, carrying, unloading, setup, and travel. It then adds only the disclosed fees and purchased materials triggered by the submitted details.
- Inventory quantity and furniture type
- Number of packing boxes the crew must prepare
- Stairs, elevator access, and walking distance from the truck
- Normal route time and the published travel policy
- Confirmed items over 200 lb
- Overtime after the configured threshold
Use examples as planning math, not promises
A six-hour example at the published three-mover rate is $1,194 before separate fees or purchased materials. A nine-hour example includes eight regular hours plus one overtime hour and produces $1,890.5 in labor under the current company schedule.
The online estimator gives a range because a route, building access, packing readiness, and final inventory can change the work on move day.
