Is it faster for movers to load or unload a moving vehicle?
That depends. Typically, it’s quicker to unload boxes off of a moving truck than it is to load those boxes onto the moving truck since there’s a lot of coordination and organization involved with that. After all, the boxes generally are brought right out of the truck and into a house or business, so there’s less guesswork when you’re unloading.
If you want to make the unloading process go smoother, don’t forget to label your boxes by the room so that you know where it all goes once it gets into your house. Also, let the movers know about any stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, and other elements that may affect the loading and unloading time. More information is better than no information, and it helps your movers know how to plan.
How long does it take to remove boxes from a moving truck?
The time frame varies for every move. For instance, will the movers need to go up and down several flights of stairs? How close is your house or business to the moving vehicle? What kinds of items are being unloaded? Do you need additional help once the items are unloaded?
In general, if you have two movers, you can expect a 10-ft. truck to take an hour or two. For a 16-ft. truck, plan for two to three hours. A 26-ft. truck can take up to three or four hours or more. Of course, these are estimates. Always talk to your movers first to find out an accurate timeline for the unloading moving services.
How much does loading and unloading cost?
The price for hourly moving help varies based on the city and state. To get a quote, go here, and let us know what services you’re looking for. Also, don’t forget that your labor-only movers won’t have a truck, so you’ll need to get your own vehicle and a driver come moving day. Lastly, here’s a guide on comparing moving company quotes in case you wanted to do a bit more research.
