Renting the truck yourself but don’t want to carry the couch up from the finished basement? A+ Don’s Moving sends trained crews to load or unload your rental, POD, or U-Box — muscle and technique without paying for a truck you already have.
What labor-only covers
You handle the rental and the driving; we handle the heavy lifting. It is the same W-2 crew that runs our full jobs, just for the load or the unload — backed by the same Ohio PUCO household-goods authority on file.
- Loading a rented truck, trailer, POD, or U-Box at your home
- Unloading the same on the other end and placing items by room
- Tight, weight-balanced stacking for a long-distance haul down I-71 or up I-75
- Furniture disassembly and reassembly — beds, tables, shelving
- Heavy single items: appliances, a sofa, a treadmill, basement gym gear — for a piano or safe, see our specialty crew
- Rearranging or staging within a home you are not leaving
No hidden add-ons
Hourly labor at $115 for two movers and $155 for three, pads and dollies in hand. No fuel surcharge, no stair fee, no “heavy item” upcharge sprung at the door — the rate you are quoted is the rate you pay.
How hourly labor works
- Pick your crew size. Two movers for a walk-up or POD, three for a full house or a tight window — tell us on your free quote request.
- Have the rental ready. Truck or container on site; we bring pads, straps, and dollies.
- We load smart. Heavy and square on the bottom, weight balanced, everything strapped for the highway.
- Clock the hours. You pay for time worked — just the standard two-hour minimum, no padded surprises.

What It Costs Around Cincinnati
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and bigger Cincinnati jobs are pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck rolls off Spring Grove Avenue.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded box truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the entire Cincinnati job folded into a single A+ Don’s Moving rate, with no handoff to a third-party van line at any point in the day.
