Labor-Only in Imperial Beach, CA.
Labor-Only for Imperial Beach customers, handled by uniformed San Diego County moving crews. 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. We load U-Hauls, Penskes, PODS, U-Boxes, and rental box trucks with the same pad-wrapping and stacking technique we'd use on our own truck.
Why is labor-only different in Coastal San Diego?
Coastal labor-only is huge in Pacific Beach and Imperial Beach where Airbnb hosts and short-term-rental owners self-rent a U-Haul or Penske and just need 2-3 strong crew for the loading hours. We bill in 2-hour minimums portal-to-portal, which fits the typical PB walk-up apartment perfectly. La Jolla labor-only is rarer (estate clients usually want full-service), but we do show up to load a customer's container for a long-distance move. We bring our own dollies, straps, and pads, which the U-Haul rental usually doesn't include.
What's included in labor-only in Imperial Beach?
- Loading rental box trucks (U-Haul, Penske, Budget) with proper weight distribution
- Loading PODS and U-Box containers (we know the dimensions and stack accordingly)
- Unloading at destination only (you drove the truck, we put it in the right rooms)
- Pad-wrapping and shrink-wrapping included, you bring or rent the pads
- Disassembly of beds, tables, and IKEA on request
- Heavy-item-only labor (gun safe, piano, hot tub) with the right crew size
