Why is same-day more expensive?
Same-day requires us to either reshuffle the day's existing schedule or pull a crew that was off the calendar. The surcharge covers the disruption: typically 15 to 25 percent above the standard hourly rate. We're upfront about the number before you book. Next-day bookings (made by 5 p.m. the day before) are usually at standard rates or with a much smaller surcharge.
Why is the crew usually 2 movers instead of 3?
On a same-day call, we're working with whoever is available that morning. 2-mover crews are easier to assemble on short notice. 3-mover crews can sometimes be arranged for late-afternoon same-day starts but the booking window is small. For 3-mover work, plan 24 to 48 hours of lead time when possible.
