One professional mover, one equipped truck — the honest budget option for light jobs that don't need a full crew.
| Option | Rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 1 mover + truck | from $68/hr · 2-hr min | Light items, you can lend a hand |
| 2 movers + truck | $88/hr | Heavy items, stairs, no help needed |
| Labor only (no truck) | from $80/hr (2 movers) | Your rental truck or POD |
Typical solo jobs land at $136–$200 all-in. The rate includes the truck, fuel, blankets, straps and a dolly — same no-hidden-fees rule as every service.
Honesty saves your floors and our backs: one mover cannot safely carry a sleeper sofa, a loaded dresser or an appliance alone, and stairs multiply the risk. If your item weighs more than ~120 lbs, is awkward (glass, marble, art), or nobody can steady the far end, book the 2-mover small move from $200 — it's usually faster and ends up costing nearly the same.
Text or call with a photo of the item and both addresses. We confirm a flat written rate and a window — same-day is often possible before 1 PM. The mover arrives with a padded truck, wraps the item, loads, delivers and places it. You pay after the job, card or cash.

For light single items — yes: boxes, chairs, small dressers, disassembled furniture, IKEA and marketplace runs. For heavy or bulky pieces (sofas, appliances, anything on stairs), 2 movers at $88/hr is safer and usually faster.
Not required, but with a solo mover a light hand on the far end of an item speeds things up. If you can't help at all, book 2 movers.
Yes — the same cargo and liability coverage and the same wrapping standards as every Best Movers LA job.
