Labor-Only Loading and Unloading at $95/hr
Sometimes the truck end of the move is already handled. A Penske is reserved at the curb, a U-Haul is booked, a Budget is sitting in the drive, a POD has been dropped, a personal trailer is hooked to the pickup. What is actually missing is the muscle and the loading sense to pack the box tight or empty it fast. Summit sends a labor-only crew at $95/hr for two movers with no equipment minimum. You drive; we load, stack, strap, and pad so nothing shifts on I-70 east and nothing arrives crushed under a kitchen pallet. The DIY move without the part that takes out your back and your Saturday.
The labor-only crew is still our W-2 movers in Summit uniforms, the same guys who run the 26-ft boxes. Not day-labor from a Craigslist post, not a subcontracted Labor Ready crew, not a national service that emails a quote and ships somebody we have never met. Loading a truck well is real work: heavy and square pieces on the floor, weight balanced front-to-back across the axle, fragile items padded and wedged into the gaps. A wall of boxes that rides tight all the way to St. Louis beats a load that shifted inside the first ten miles outside Independence.
Penske, Budget, U-Haul, PODS, plus shuffle-in-place
The labor-only crew loads and unloads rental trucks (Penske, Budget, U-Haul), personal trailers, and portable containers (PODS, 1-800-PACK-RAT, U-Box). A hybrid DIY move where you only want the heavy half handled? Book just the Lee’s Summit load, or just the destination unload, or both. After new hardwood goes in, when furniture has to move out of a room for floors and back in once the finish dries, the same labor-only crew handles the in-home shuffle without a truck.
