Understand the service
Choose labor for the exact work you need
Labor-only service can support a rental truck, portable container, trailer, storage unit, apartment move, furniture delivery, or an in-home rearrangement. Transportation is usually your responsibility unless the estimate says otherwise.
Describe the tasks, inventory, access, expected start time, and equipment needs. Ask about minimum hours, crew size, travel time, tools, furniture protection, and what happens if the work runs longer.

Moving Labor FAQ
Need help with the request? Call (800) 632-7240 or email support@haulbraid.com.
Does moving labor include a truck?
Usually labor-only service means you supply the transportation. Ask the provider directly because inclusions differ.
Can I hire help for unloading only?
Yes. Provide the arrival address, expected time, shipment size, access conditions, and the type of vehicle or container being unloaded.
Will the crew bring moving equipment?
Equipment varies. Confirm dollies, straps, blankets, tools, and any specialty equipment in the written service details.
Can labor help with one heavy item?
Some providers accept single-item work, often subject to minimum time, access, equipment, and item restrictions. Describe the item before booking.
How can I reduce hourly labor time?
Finish packing, label rooms, clear paths, reserve close parking, disassemble agreed items, and keep decision-makers available.
