Need Moving Help? Super Movers PDX in Portland, OR tells you how to save $200 on your next move.

1/23/2015

 
Picture
I get calls every now and then from potential customers who ask the question "Do you guys bring a truck?". There's even been one occasion when I've shown up for a move and the customer asked me "Where's your truck?".  This is why I always explain to folks on that initial call the difference between a moving company versus a moving labor company.

What are the differences?
A Moving / Labor company supplies everything but the truck. You rent and drive the truck. 

How does this help you?
It saves you TONS of money. The lowest price I have found in the Portland Metro area for two movers, equipment, and a truck is about $115 per hour with a 3 hour minimum. That company is a Licensed ODOT moving company that is Bonded and Insured here in the state of Oregon per the ODOT guidelines for Transporting household good. 

We charge you $30 per hour, per mover, with a 2 hour minimum. This includes Hand Trucks, Flat Dollies, Appliance Dollies, Furniture Pads / Blankets, Ratchet Straps, Bungees, Tie Downs, Plastic Furniture Wrapping, Tools for assembling or dis-assembling furniture, plus our expertise. We have over 10 years of experience loading and packing trucks with household items.

Let's do the math:
Ordinary Moving company:
5 hour moving job at $115 per hour= 
Total $575

Super Movers PDX:
5 hour moving job at $60 per hour= $300
Your Truck Rental: $80 for the day
Total: $380

That's almost a $200 difference!
(Can you say "No Brainer"? Really, you should be on the phone with me right now scheduling your move.)

Can you guys fit all of this in the truck?
Probably. Of course renting the right size truck is helpful and can determine how many trips your move will take. But our experience allows us to do things safely and efficiently with your belongings inside of a truck that most rookies can't do. It's been called "Playing Tetris with Furniture". We understand weight loads and support strength and how to maximize the amount of space the truck provides.  

So, now you understand how using Super Movers PDX can save you money. A lot of money.
If you have a family member, a friend, a co-worker, anyone looking to move soon... now you know who to call.

Thanks for your support and have a day to remember!
