Do you think $850 is too much to pay for 2 movers, a truck, and four hours, and a bitchy flight of staris in the ice and snow?

Might be worth it especially for your back

@cherokeepatti Yeah, that really is the best way!

@MeowsoliniReturns Lucky for me at the apartment the parking spot was right in front of my door. So that saved a lot of time for me. I also bought a 2-wheeler hand truck to make it easier to load up boxes and take the outside to the car.

Nope; I know 850 is a lot but 2 movers for 4 hours plus truck. And going up and down stairs...about $200 an hour split w/ 2 people plus truck costs. About what I’d expect

@CantExplain Thanks!

Not at all, furniture & appliances are heavy!

@VeronicaPrincess Thanks! I don't feel like being sore for days after!
Well U-haul gets about $40 per hour to rent the truck. Moving dolly is extra. Plus $1 per mile. I dont know what other taxes, fees, or insurance maybe added on.

So let's say a minimum of $50 per hour.

$850-$200truck cost= $650
$650/2workers = $325each
$325/4hours = $81.25

$81.25 per worker per hr

Have you called more then one place?

@NightsWatch Yes. Another place quoted me $1,600! This place includes the dollies, furniture blankets and pads, and tools to put any furniture together I might need. Mileage fee is included.

Sounds reasonable to me.

It does seem a bit pricy but worth it.
MeowsoliniReturns · 51-55, F
@sassypants Yeah, it's not cheap. Another place quoted me $1,600! NO WAY!

@MeowsoliniReturns Have you thought about just advertising locally? Maybe college students looking for extra cash might be more reasonable on rates!
