Micro Moves: a truck, a driver and a mover, by the hour

How it works

Simple pricing: the crew by the hour, a 4-hour minimum, and longer moves priced by distance.

1

Get an estimate

Pickup, drop-off and crew size. The price shows right away, based on the distance between stops.

2

We confirm

The office calls you to lock in the crew and the time, usually the same business day.

3

We move it

A Comet truck, driver and movers show up ready to load, drive and unload.

How the price works: a truck with a driver plus one mover is $150 an hour ($53.50 driver, $48.25 mover, $48.25 truck). Each extra mover is $48.25 an hour; each extra truck with a driver is $101.75 an hour. Stops within 20 miles of each other are a 4-hour job, within 30 miles 6 hours, within 40 miles 8 hours. Farther than that, the office quotes it. Weekends are double time.

Questions

What does the 4-hour minimum include?

Four hours of the crew’s time: loading, the drive between stops and unloading. Stops within 20 miles of each other usually fit in four hours.

How is a longer move priced?

By the distance between pickup and drop-off: within 30 miles is a 6-hour job, within 40 miles is 8 hours. Farther than that, our office quotes it with you.

What if it takes longer?

Extra time is billed at the same hourly rate. If you know it’s a bigger job, add extra hours to the estimate.

Do you work weekends?

Yes. Saturdays and Sundays are double time.

Can I bill it to my Comet account?

Yes. Use the email on your Comet account and the move bills to your account.
