The five types of moving help you can book in New York

Each one is hourly, labor-only work performed by an independent moving company. Pick the description that matches your day and open that service page to see the companies offering it.

  • Loading help in New York

    This is loading-only labor: the crew works at your New York pickup address, loads the vehicle you provide, and finishes when the load is tied off. You keep the keys and drive it yourself — whether that's ten minutes across town or a two-day haul out of state.

  • Unloading help in New York

    This is unloading-only labor at the delivery end. You arrive with the truck, trailer, or container; the crew unloads it, places furniture where you point, and can stack boxes by room so unpacking isn't a scavenger hunt. Many people in New York book unloading alone after loading themselves at the other end.

  • Loading and unloading in New York

    Because the same crew handles both addresses, they already know how the truck was packed and what needs to come off first. Billing is continuous hourly time, which usually includes their drive between your two New York addresses — ask the company how it counts travel time before you book.
