What a crew and truck brings together
The agreed service covers loading at pickup, transportation and unloading at delivery. You can also request furniture disassembly, assembly, packing or unpacking when those tasks are part of your move.
A truck and two movers are $160 per hour with a three hour minimum, a $480 minimum service charge. Three and four mover options are available. Applicable packing materials are additional, and work beyond the minimum affects the total.
Give the truck plan more than a bedroom count
Two homes with the same number of bedrooms can have very different loads. A workshop, patio set, full bookshelves or a packed garage can make a substantial difference to the transportation plan.
List furniture and approximate box counts by room. Include dimensions for larger pieces, anything that comes apart and items needing specialty review. Send updates if you add furniture after the initial request.
- Main furniture and boxes in every space being moved.
- Large or awkward pieces with photos and measurements.
- Furniture preparation and packing still to be completed.
- Any additional pickup or delivery stop you want reviewed.
Check where the truck can actually load
Identify the proposed loading position at both addresses. Share driveway slope, tight turns, overhead branches, height restrictions and whether there is a practical way to leave the property after loading.
On a street, check the posted parking conditions and any reservation you need. In a managed building, ask about the moving entrance and loading dock. Access decisions need to work for the vehicle as well as the furniture route.
Protect and prepare the load before it travels
Tell us about delicate finishes, glass, detachable shelves and loose components. Blankets, wrap, straps, hand trucks and dollies are used as appropriate for the agreed items and route.
Packing is a separate part of the work. If boxes are unfinished or a room still needs attention, include that time and the materials in your request. It is easier to plan the loading sequence when the preparation needs are visible.
Make delivery placement part of the plan
Decide where beds, sofas, tables and cabinets should go before unloading. Label boxes using the room names at the new home. Share which items need another floor and whether furniture assembly is requested.
Have a contact available at the destination to open doors and answer placement questions. If you are collecting keys on moving day, give the expected time early so the drive and unloading arrangements can be considered together.
Confirm the scope before depending on a schedule
IronAtlas uses a one hour arrival window. Exact elevator or dock reservations, seller pickup windows and property handover deadlines need to be discussed before the move is arranged.
The inventory and route determine the transportation plan. Do not assume a specific truck size, a single trip or an unreviewed completion time. Longer distance moves use a separate quote process.
Before you book
What is the minimum for a truck and two movers?
The rate is $160 per hour with a three hour minimum, a $480 minimum service charge. The minimum applies even if the work finishes sooner. Additional time, packing, applicable materials or agreed specialty handling can affect the total.
Can I choose a particular truck size?
Share the full inventory and any vehicle access restrictions so the truck arrangements can be reviewed. This page does not promise a particular truck size. Large dimensions and belongings outside the main living areas are especially useful.
What if the load needs more than one trip?
The inventory, vehicle arrangements and route need to be considered together. Additional trips can affect time. Discuss the complete load before the move rather than assuming that a home size label guarantees a single trip.
Can a furniture purchase pickup be included?
Send the seller address, pickup window, contact and item details along with the rest of the move. Any additional stop needs to be part of the agreed scope. You handle the purchase and arrange release of the item.
Is packing included with the truck?
Packing and unpacking can be requested, but they add billable time and applicable material charges. Tell us what will be ready and what needs help so the estimate accounts for preparation before loading.
What if my driveway is steep or narrow?
Send photos of the approach, slope, width, overhead clearance and turning space. The loading position needs review before it is treated as usable. A different parking position may change the carrying distance and estimated time.
What if I already have a vehicle booked?
Labor only may be a better fit. Tell us what transportation you have arranged and whether you need loading, unloading or both. That keeps the moving request aligned with what you actually need.
