“I’m super excited we hired His Workmanship for our move today. All four college movers showed up on time and got right to lifting our heavy items. What caught my attention most was the Christian mission of the company. As a believer myself I felt at peace scheduling movers who I knew I could definitely trust. I have already recommended His Workmanship and will continue to do so.” – Lori

Frequently Asked Questions

Truck unloading services are billed at a flat hourly rate of $60 per hour per person. Total cost depends on truck size, volume of items, stairs or elevators, and distance to the entrance. Unloading a 16-foot truck typically takes 2 total labor hours ($120–$180), a 20-foot truck averages 3 labor hours ($180–$240), and a 26-foot truck averages 4 to 5 labor hours ($240–$300). Hourly pricing ensures you only pay for the exact time required to clear your truck and place items in your new home.
Unloading generally takes less time than loading because items do not need to be tightly arranged like a puzzle. On average, a 2-person crew can unload a 16-foot truck in 1 to 2 hours, a 20-foot truck in 1.5 to 2.5 hours, and a 26-foot truck in 2 to 3 hours. Unloading times may increase if the property features multiple flights of stairs, long hallway carries, or narrow doorways.
Hiring an even number of movers (such as 2 or 4 workers) provides the best efficiency for truck unloading. Heavy items like couches, dressers, and appliances require two people to carry safely. For jobs involving furniture pieces over 200–250 pounds or multistory homes, booking a 4-person crew spreads the weight evenly and drastically accelerates the unload time.
Yes, unloading a truck is typically twice as fast as loading it. When loading, movers must carefully stack and tie down items to maximize truck space and prevent shifting during transit. When unloading, items simply need to be unstrapped, carried into the residence, and placed in their designated rooms.
If you are moving into a high-rise apartment or condo building, reserving a freight or service elevator prior to move day is strongly recommended. Dedicated elevator access eliminates long waiting times for general tenants, preventing delays and keeping overall billable labor hours lower. Contact your building concierge or property manager to reserve a 2 to 4 hour window.
Start by clearing the doorway path and unloading large furniture items destined for upper or lower floors. Getting heavy furniture placed into upstairs bedrooms first prevents movers from navigating around stacks of boxes later in the move. Once upstairs furniture is set, unload main-floor items, followed by stackable boxes for room-by-room distribution.
Purchasing food for movers is optional and never expected, though providing cold water or drinks is always appreciated. For short 2- to 4-hour unloading sessions, movers typically eat before or after their shift. If a crew is working a full-day project spanning both loading and unloading, offering sandwiches or quick lunches is a thoughtful courtesy.
Portable storage containers (like PODS) offer flexible loading timeframes and built-in ground-level storage without requiring driving. Moving rental trucks (like U-Haul or Penske) offer larger storage capacities and immediate single-day transit, making them better for tight timelines. Both options pair seamlessly with labor-only moving help for loading and unloading.
Major rental providers include U-Haul and Penske. U-Haul offers wide availability for local moves with daily base rates around $19.95 to $39.95 plus per-mile charges. Penske offers larger box trucks often available through Home Depot partners, providing unlimited mileage packages that make them ideal for one-way or long-distance moves.
Key questions to consider include: What is the exact hourly labor rate and minimum booking time? Are there any hidden fees for stairs or heavy items? Are crew members verified and background-checked? Does the rate cover pure labor, or do I need to supply straps, dollies, and ramps? What is the policy for booking or rescheduling online?

My name is Corey and I heard about His Workmanship from my soccer coach at Northwestern University. One of the things I’ve enjoyed most about this opportunity is the chance to meet so many different customers for each project. This really helps me grow in my social skills and prepares me for better customer service in whatever full-time career I choose. Plus, the pay is much higher than what I’d get from other non-skilled labor work during the summer season when I’m not in school.
