A standard two-person crew with a truck averages around $105 per hour. If you already have a rental truck or container and just need loading help, labor-only rates average around $94 per hour, with typical jobs totaling $365 to $710. Most companies also tack on a one-time fee for driving to and from your home, plus $150 to $400 or more for heavy items like a piano, safe, or hot tub, and extra charges for stairs or a long carry to the truck.
Packing your own boxes, disclosing heavy items ahead of time, and asking for a written list of possible extra fees before moving day are the fastest ways to avoid an inflated final bill.
