How the estimate works
We multiply our real hourly rates by average completion times from thousands of LA moves, adjust for stairs and packing, and add typical drive-time billing for your distance. The result is the same range our dispatchers use for phone estimates.
| Crew | Rate |
|---|---|
| 1 mover + truck | from $68/hr |
| 2 movers + truck | $88/hr |
| 3 movers + truck | $128/hr |
| 4 movers + truck | $168/hr |
| Each packer | +$40/hr |
