Hello!
This is the ad I have placed. I received an offer for $75 - 2 experienced guys for maximum of 1.5 hours. Is this good? Or I can find cheaper? Thanks!
Hello!
I am looking for 2 guys to help us move from one apartment to another. Both units are on the 3rd floor (no elevator). I would just need some help with heavy sofa, and few more furniture pieces.. This should not take long - maybe 1-2 hours. The place I am moving to is located 0.2 miles away! I will have the truck ready..
Call Two Men and a Truck or some other local movers that specialize in doing small local moves.
If a guy moving a sofa falls and injures himself on your property you could very well be liable for his medical expenses.
I heard two men & a truck is outrageous by some coworkers who've used them. I haven't been able to find out-- since my move is over 40 miles (it's about 60) they want to charge me by mileage and weight. To give an estimate they either have to come out, or I have to provide an itemized list. Sounds like enough work that I will stick with renting a Uhaul and calling friends.
Oh, and the uhaul quote is $122 for truck to fit a two bedroom house...allegedly comes with a month of free storage.

I had Two men and a truck before and they were terrible but I'm sure they are like any other franchise, it depends on who owns the place as to how good they are. I would personally look for someone else though and don't hire just anyone off the street since you are liable for any injuries that may occur on your property if they are not bonded and insured.
A local move, defined as: a household goods shipment of 40 miles or less, is not subject to tariff regulation by the Michigan Public Service Commission (MPSC). However, motor carriers conducting local moves of household goods must comply with authority, safety, insurance, vehicle identification and other requirements imposed by the Michigan Motor Carrier Act and MPSC Motor Carrier Rules.
Normally, estimates from reputable full service movers are FREE! The cube sheet could tell you if your 'stuff' in your two-bedroom home will fit into a $122 rental. I tend to doubt it. How much does it cost for more than one trip?

I have no intention of--no--I refuse to make more than one trip. I live 37 miles from the movers so I assumed they'd charge me for the estimate. The cube sheet estimate (good advice, btw) when I entered even things I don't plan to take (I am downsizing to a smaller place) says 870 cubic feet. The 17' uhaul can has 865 cubic feet. The estimated weight is over, but again there are things I don't plan to take. Not to mention, my Jeep can hold a few boxes with the seats folded down.
