Why Garland Books Our Moving Labor
Already rented a truck, ordered a POD, or booked an ABF trailer? You don't need a full-service move — you need strong, careful hands to load or unload it. That's labor-only moving, and it's one of the most popular services we run in Garland. You handle the truck or container; we bring an experienced crew that loads tight and safe so nothing shifts or breaks in transit.
Our Garland labor crews do more than carry boxes. We Tetris a rental truck or POD to use every inch of space, pad and strap your furniture, disassemble and reassemble beds and tables, and rearrange heavy pieces inside your home or business. Loading, unloading, or both — you book the hours you need with a simple 2-hour minimum.
Pricing is straightforward: $135/hr for 2 movers (labor only), $185 for 3, $225 for 4, with a $60 travel fee on local Garland jobs. We bring dollies, straps, and hand tools. Whether it's a one-bedroom in Firewheel and Duck Creek or a full house across Garland, the written quote is what you pay.

$135/hr for 2 movers, a $60 travel fee on local Garland jobs. You only pay for the muscle you need.
Licensed & Insured
USDOT #3918729 with full liability insurance — even on labor-only jobs, your belongings and home are protected.

Just a 2-hour minimum. Book one end, both ends, or in-home help — Monday–Sunday, 7AM–9PM, same-day when we can.
Tools Included

We Protect the Load
We pad, wrap, and strap so your furniture rides safe — and your security deposit or POD stays damage-free.
Real Reviews from Garland TX
"Rented a U-Haul and just needed it loaded. Two guys showed up on time in Garland, packed that truck tighter than I ever could, and nothing moved on the drive. Worth every penny."
"They unloaded our POD into a third-floor apartment in Garland in under two hours. Fast, careful, and friendly. Way cheaper than a full-service move since we already had the container."
"Used them to rearrange heavy furniture and load an ABF trailer. Professional, insured, and the price was exactly the quote. I'll book this Garland crew again."
Garland Moving-Labor Tips from Our Crew
Get the most out of an hourly labor crew — straight from the guys doing the lifting.
Have the Truck or POD Ready
Pull the rental truck up close and have the POD unlocked before the crew arrives in Garland. The clock starts on labor — not on waiting for the container.
Pack & Stage Boxes First
Have boxes sealed and stacked by the door or garage. A staged load goes onto the truck two to three times faster than scattered rooms.
Tell Us About Heavy Items
Pianos, safes, appliances, or a treadmill? Mention them when you book so we send the right crew size and tools for your Garland job.
Disassemble or Ask Us To
Beds and tables load flatter and safer apart. Break them down ahead of time, or add it to the labor — we bring the tools.
Keep the Path Clear
Move cars, prop doors, and clear the hallway or stairwell. An open path keeps the labor hours down and the move moving.
Book Early for Weekends
Weekends and month-end fill fast in Garland. Book a few days ahead so your truck or POD window matches our crew's.

Garland Moving Labor: Terms, Every Possible Charge, and What We Won't Move
Most moving-help listings in Garland give you an hourly rate and leave the rest for move day. Here is everything that can appear on a Garland labor-only bill from us, before you book.
Our labor terms in one table
| Term | Moving Company Guys, Garland |
|---|---|
| Hourly rate | $135/hr for 2 movers · $185/hr for 3 · $225/hr for 4 |
| Minimum | 2 hours per crew visit |
| Travel fee | $60 flat, once per crew visit |
| Deposit | None on local labor jobs |
| Stairs | First flight free, $75 per additional flight |
| Equipment | Furniture pads, dollies, straps, tape and tools included |
| Truck | You provide it: rental truck, trailer, PODS or other container |
The hidden costs of 2-hour movers, answered with our numbers
A 2-hour minimum isn't a hidden cost if you know it's there. What surprises people is everything around it. On our Garland labor jobs, the complete list is:
- The minimum applies per visit. Book us to load in Garland and unload the same day, and that's two visits: two 2-hour minimums and two $60 travel fees.
- Stairs after the first flight are $75 per flight. A ground-floor apartment or a house with one flight costs nothing extra.
- Waiting time is billed time. Unpacked boxes, an elevator held by another resident, or a truck parked down the block are the real extras on an hourly job.
- Everything else is included: no fuel surcharge, no equipment fee, no charge for disassembling and reassembling beds and tables.
Two real-world Garland examples at our rates: a 1-bedroom apartment unloaded from a 15 ft truck, 2 movers for 2 hours, is $270 + $60 = $330. A 3-bedroom one-story house near Firewheel loading a PODS container, 3 movers for 4 hours, is $740 + $60 = $800.
Is labor-only cheaper than full-service in Garland?
Not always, and we'll tell you when it isn't. Our labor-only and full-service crews bill the same hourly rate. Labor-only wins when only one end needs a crew, when you're driving out of state, or when you're loading a container. For a local move with a crew at both ends, full-service is often the same price or less, because you pay one minimum and one travel fee and skip the truck rental. We priced five options side by side for the same move in the cheapest way to move in DFW, including a calculator for your own numbers.
What our labor crews won't move
- Pianos and gun safes on stairs. We move them on ground level only, never up or down stairs. See our Garland piano movers and Garland gun safe movers pages for flat rates.
- Hazardous materials: propane tanks, gasoline, paint thinner, pool chemicals and anything flammable or corrosive.
- Gas and hardwired connections. We'll carry the dryer or range, but a licensed tradesperson should disconnect and reconnect gas lines and hardwired appliances.
Garland notes from our crews
- One-story houses load fast. A lot of Garland homes are single-story, so there are no stair fees and the crew can stage the garage and load straight into the truck or container. Clear a path from the front door to the driveway and the clock works for you.
- Apartment communities. Some complexes ask for a certificate of insurance or limit move hours. Send us the office's rules when you book and we'll get the certificate to management ahead of move day.
- Summer moves start early. From June through September we book the first crews from 7AM, the coolest and fastest time to load a truck in North Texas heat.
Booking our crew vs. booking through a moving-help app
| Moving Company Guys | Typical moving-help marketplace | |
|---|---|---|
| Who shows up | Our own crew, dispatched from our Garland office at 2913 Big Oaks Drive, Garland (near Spring Creek Village) | An independent provider who accepted the job; it varies |
| Price | Published: $135/$185/$225 per hour, $60 travel, 2-hour minimum | Set by each provider, plus any platform fees |
| Who to call on move day | (972) 528-0385, the company doing the work | The app's support line or the provider |
| Full-service option | Yes. Same company can bring the truck instead | Labor only |
Marketplaces work well for a lot of people, and some of the providers on them are excellent. The difference with us is that the price, the crew and the accountability all come from one Garland company.
