How It Works

You handle the trailer. We handle the labor.

U-Pack and ABF trailers and ReloCubes give you the transportation. We give you the crew and the equipment to fill or empty them properly.

01

Reserve your trailer

Book your U-Pack, ABF or ReloCube service directly with them, the way you already planned.

02

Request your estimate

Tell us your date, ZIP and what you are moving. We reply with crew size and a written estimate.

03

Confirm your crew

A $50 non-refundable deposit by Zelle holds your date. We plan around your trailer's window.

04

We load or unload

Your crew arrives with dollies, pads, straps and tools, and works until the job is done.

No second truck to book. You pay for skilled labor by the hour. Time starts when the crew arrives and ends when the work is complete.

Trailer Loading & Unloading

Packed right going out. Handled right coming in.

How a trailer is loaded decides how your furniture arrives. We load for space and protection, and we unload with care for your home.

Trailer loading

We build the load from the floor up so items stay tight, level and protected for the road.

  • Heavy items on the bottom, balanced across the trailer
  • Furniture wrapped and protected before it goes in
  • Boxes stacked to use every foot of space
  • Furniture disassembled where needed to load safely
  • Straps and bracing to keep the load from shifting

Trailer unloading

Your trailer arrives on its window. We are ready with a crew and take everything where it belongs.

  • Items placed room by room, with your layout in mind
  • Furniture reassembled and beds set up
  • Careful handling of heavy and awkward items
  • Houses, apartments and condos, including elevator buildings
  • Packing materials gathered as we go
Furniture Protection & Packing

Protect it before it travels.

A trailer or container may travel hundreds of miles before it is unloaded. For long-distance moves, professional furniture protection is strongly recommended.

We can wrap and protect your furniture, pack and unpack boxes, and disassemble and reassemble larger pieces. Protection materials are optional and priced separately, so you only pay for what your move needs.

Not sure what you need? Tell us what you are moving and how far it is going. We will tell you honestly what is worth it and what is not.

Optional protection materials

Not included in the labor rate. Added only if you want them.

Paper pads$100 per bundle
TV cartons$75 each
Mattress covers$15 each
Shrink wrap$35 per roll

Our crews bring their own moving blankets, dollies, straps and tools for the labor itself.

Questions

U-Pack, ABF & ReloCube labor FAQ.

Yes. We load and unload U-Pack and ABF trailers and ReloCubes. We are an independent labor company and are not affiliated with U-Pack, ABF Freight or ArcBest. You book the trailer with them, and we provide the movers.

No. We provide professional labor and equipment only. Your trailer or ReloCube is arranged with your carrier. That is how we keep our pricing to skilled labor.

Each job is booked for at least four hours at $45 per hour per mover. Time starts when the crew arrives and ends when the work is completed. Time beyond four hours is billed at the crew's hourly rate, in 30-minute increments.

Yes. A $45 administrative fee applies, and it appears on your written estimate. We do not charge additional fuel or travel fees within our standard service arrangements.
