What can loading help do?
Labor-only moving crews handle the physical work while you provide the rental truck, trailer, container or other transportation.

Hire the loading crew without hiring the truck
If you already rented a truck or reserved a portable moving container, you may not need a full-service moving company. Loading help lets you hire people specifically for the physical part of the move.
- You rent and drive the moving truck.
- You reserve the moving container or trailer.
- The crew handles carrying and loading.
- You choose the amount of labor you need.
- You maintain control of your transportation.
First question: what size truck do you need?
Running out of truck space after the crew starts loading can mean extra labor time, another trip or a second vehicle. Movers Near Me has a free truck-size calculator to help estimate the cargo space your move may require.

Good preparation helps the crew spend more time loading and less time waiting, searching or reorganizing.
Reserve transportation
Confirm the rental truck, container or trailer and make sure it will be available when the crew arrives.
Finish packing
Have boxes packed, closed and labeled before loading begins whenever possible.
Clear the path
Keep hallways, stairs, elevators, driveways and loading areas accessible.
Disclose difficult items
Tell the crew about unusually heavy or oversized furniture before moving day.
Loading is more than carrying boxes
A moving truck has limited floor space and cargo volume. Furniture placement, weight distribution and how items are stacked can affect how efficiently your belongings fit.
Give the loading company an accurate inventory and tell them about stairs, elevators, long carries, parking restrictions and heavy furniture before booking.

Loading a rental truck yourself?
Even when you hire labor, you are generally responsible for the truck reservation, fuel, driving, rental agreement, parking and returning the vehicle on time.
