❓ CAN I HIRE MOVERS JUST TO LOAD OR UNLOAD MY TRUCK?
Yes. Our labor-only service lets you hire movers without renting a truck from us.
➡️ We load your rental truck before you leave Norfolk.
➡️ We unload it when you arrive.
➡️ We work both addresses on a local move.
Give us both locations when booking so we can explain scheduling and any travel charges.

📦 WHAT DOES TRUCK LOADING INCLUDE?
Loading starts with a walkthrough of your belongings and the route to the truck.
✔️ Carry furniture and packed boxes to the truck
✔️ Disassemble basic furniture when needed
✔️ Wrap furniture with the agreed protection materials
✔️ Position heavy pieces and organize the load
✔️ Use the available truck space efficiently
✔️ Secure belongings with straps and tie-downs
⚠️ Tell us about fragile pieces, oversized furniture, safes and pianos before booking. Specialty items may require added equipment, staffing or charges.
Careful loading reduces shifting, but it cannot remove every risk of the road. See the coverage section below.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🏠 WHAT DOES TRUCK UNLOADING INCLUDE?
We carry furniture and boxes from your truck into your home, apartment, office or storage unit.
✔️ Place boxes and furniture in the right rooms
✔️ Carry items up stairs or through elevators
✔️ Reassemble basic furniture when arranged
📝 Before the crew arrives, label your boxes and decide where large furniture goes.
⚠️ If your load shifted during the drive, tell the crew before the truck door is opened.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

📞 Call or text 757-330-0008 for your crew recommendation and booking total.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
👥 HOW MANY MOVERS SHOULD I BOOK?
🏠 Studio or one-bedroom — Two movers
🏠 Two or three bedrooms — Three movers
🏠 Four or more bedrooms — Four movers
Your actual inventory matters more than bedroom count.
Heavy furniture, stairs, long carries and tight access can change the recommendation.
A bigger crew cannot speed up a job limited by one elevator or a narrow stairway.

📍 NORFOLK LOADING ACCESS: WHAT WE NEED TO KNOW
🏢 Downtown High-Rises — Confirm your freight-elevator reservation, moving hours, loading location and any Certificate of Insurance (COI) requirement.
🏘️ Ghent Homes and Walk-Ups — Tell us about curbside parking, stair flights and tight landings.
🌊 Ocean View and East Beach — Tell us where the truck will park and how far it is to your entrance.
🎓 Old Dominion University (ODU) Area — Confirm move-in schedules, parking instructions and building-access rules.
Building rules vary. Check with your property manager before moving day.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🎖️ DO YOU HELP WITH MILITARY PPM MOVES?
Yes. A Personally Procured Move (PPM), formerly called a Do-It-Yourself (DITY) move, lets you arrange your own move under your transportation office's guidance.
We provide the loading and unloading labor.
⚖️ Weight Ticket Sequence
1️⃣ Get a certified empty-truck weight before the crew loads.
2️⃣ Have the crew load the truck.
3️⃣ Get a certified full-truck weight after loading.
Keep your weight tickets, rental agreement and receipts together.
Confirm the exact documents you need with your transportation office or Military OneSource.
📍 Southside Certified Scales
CAT Scale at Frank's Truck Stop — Chesapeake
CAT Scale — Suffolk
Big Charlie's — Virginia Beach
Confirm hours and access before driving there.
⚓ Moving on or off Naval Station Norfolk? Tell us before booking so installation access can be arranged for the crew.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🧰 DO YOU BRING MOVING BLANKETS, DOLLIES AND STRAPS?
Tell us what your rental includes. We will confirm what the crew brings and what you need to supply.
⚠️ Outgoing loads need protection materials that stay with the truck. The crew's reusable equipment leaves with the crew.
Any supply charges are discussed before booking.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🛡️ DO YOU CARRY CARGO INSURANCE ON LABOR-ONLY MOVES?
No. Our crews carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage.
⚠️ Labor-only service does not include cargo insurance for belongings in your rental truck.
Because you rent and drive the truck, you are the carrier.
Ask your rental company or insurer about protection, limits, deductibles and exclusions.
Many rental protection plans do not cover damage from cargo shifting in transit, so read your plan before you drive.
If you believe our crew damaged an item while handling it, report it promptly so we can document and review it.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🚫 WHAT ITEMS WON'T YOUR CREW HANDLE?
❌ Firearms
❌ Ammunition
❌ Hazardous materials
❌ Propane tanks
❌ Paint
Keep these items separate and arrange their transport yourself. Ask before moving day if you are unsure about an item.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
⚡ CAN I GET SAME-DAY TRUCK LOADING HELP IN NORFOLK?
Same-day help depends on the crew schedule.
If your helpers canceled, your truck arrived late or the load is bigger than expected, send us:
➡️ Your Norfolk location
➡️ Your truck size
➡️ Loading, unloading or both
➡️ How much work remains
➡️ Any stairs or elevator restrictions
