Do I need to be there when you load the U-Haul?
Yes — someone needs to be present to direct us, sign off on the work, and handle payment. But you don't need to lift anything — that's what we're there for.
Can you load AND unload the U-Haul (both locations)?
Absolutely. We handle loading at your origin and unloading at your destination. The total cost is just the combined hours — typically 2.5–5 hours for a full studio or 1BR move.
Is there a minimum hours charge for U-Haul loading in Madison?
We have a 1-hour minimum at $170. Most small jobs (studio, few items) finish right around 1 hour, so you only pay $170. We don't pad the clock.
Does the $170/hr rate include packing boxes?
No — the $170/hr labor rate covers loading and unloading furniture and already-packed boxes. If you need us to pack boxes too, ask about our packing add-on service, priced separately.
