Labor-only loading or unloading in San Diego runs $120 to $180 per hour for a 2-mover crew with a 2-hour minimum, typically finishing in 2 to 3 hours per truck.

North Coastal labor-only serves Camp Pendleton families who get their own DITY (Do It Yourself) move trucks through the Marine Corps and just need the muscle to load and unload. We provide GBL-compatible paperwork for reimbursement. Carlsbad and Aviara labor-only often pairs with PODS or 1-800-PACK-RAT containers, which we load to maximize cube efficiency. 2-hour minimums apply with 15-minute increments after, plus any tract-development gate-access coordination.
