01 Overview

Loading and Unloading Labor When You Have the Truck

Plenty of South Florida moves only need muscle, not a truck. You rented your own moving truck, ordered a pod dropped in the driveway or you are loading a trailer for a long haul, and what you really want is a crew that knows how to pack it tight. Sawgrass Moving and Relocation sends its own trained movers for exactly that, load-only and unload-only labor done by the same people who run our full moves.

From Boca Raton to Wellington, Sawgrass Moving sets the entire move as one written number — the figure on the estimate is the figure on move day.

Our Crew, Not Day Labor

This is the part that matters. The movers who show up are Sawgrass employees in uniform, not strangers hired off an app that morning. We are a licensed Florida FDACS company running our own crews, so the labor on your driveway is accountable, trained and insured. They know how a load should sit and they treat your terrazzo and tile floors and your lanai thresholds with the same protection we use on a full move.

Packed to Survive the Road

A pod or a rental truck packed loose is where damage starts. Our crew loads heavy on the bottom, balances the weight across the axle, pads and shrink-wraps the furniture and runs tie-downs so the load does not shift on a long drive up I-95 or Florida’s Turnpike. If you are loading at the start of wet season, we work a dawn window so the job finishes before the afternoon storms roll in and soak everything in the driveway.

Simple Hourly Pricing

Because there is no truck of ours on the job, you pay only for the labor. Two movers run $165 an hour and three movers run $225 an hour, with no one-hour minimum, so you cover exactly the loading or unloading help you need. A $115 charge secures your date and is credited toward the final total. If you want released-value coverage on the items the crew handles, it runs $0.60 per pound standard with full-value available and up to $1,000,000 in cargo protection per shipment.

What’s included

  • Trained Sawgrass movers to load or unload your rental truck, pod or trailer, our crew not day labor
  • Tight, weight-balanced truck packing so a long Florida haul travels without shifting
  • Pads, shrink-wrap and tie-downs applied so the load survives I-95 and the Turnpike
  • Dawn labor windows in wet season to finish before the afternoon storms hit
  • Floor and doorway protection on terrazzo, tile and lanai thresholds during the carry
  • Hourly labor quoted plainly, with the same crew rates as a full move

How the price gets set

It starts with a short walkthrough or video survey, and from your real inventory we write one flat Palm Beach County rate — no hourly clock hiding anywhere in it. What that quote reads is the whole price, with nothing tacked on once the truck is loaded or the storm rolls through.

02 How we protect your move

Your belongings get handled as carefully as we would handle our own

Pads, shrink film, and floor runners ride on every truck — ready to wrap furniture, guard terrazzo and tile against a sudden afternoon downpour, and cushion the fragile pieces whether the job is a CBS home on slab in a 55-plus community, a Wellington country-club estate, or an oceanfront tower with a freight-elevator reservation.

Quilted pads

Every dresser, table, and headboard is blanketed right where it stands, and that padding goes on well ahead of the moment anything rolls toward the doorway.

Stretch film

Drawers stay shut and upholstery stays clean — wrapped tight against the humidity and any sudden wet-season downpour on the haul from your door to the truck and back.

Floor & doorway guards

Runners go down, rails get wrapped, and jambs get padded as the very first thing we do — so by the time we drive off, your tile, railings, and trim are exactly as untouched as they were that morning.

Built-to-fit crating

Mirrors, glass tabletops, framed art, and flat screens each earn a crate assembled right there in the room, sized corner to corner for an exact, snug fit.

Break-down & rebuild

Bed frames, dining tables, and sectionals come apart so they ride safely, and once they clear the doorway of your new home our crew reassembles every one.

Straps, dollies & gear

A freight-elevator high-rise, a tight condo corridor, or the heaviest single item you own — each one calls up the matching tie-downs and rigging from our truck, and none of that equipment is ever left behind.

03 Why us

Whatever name is painted on the truck is the same name signed on your contract

Book Sawgrass and the truck at your curb is ours, the paperwork is ours, and the bilingual crew wheeling your sofa onto the condo freight elevator draws a Palm Beach County paycheck from us — your move is never sold off. A broker runs the opposite way: they shop your job to whoever underbids that week, then vanish from the picture.

Sawgrass Moving and Relocation
  • The trucks belong to us and so do the full-time, background-checked movers riding in them — we never staff a job with day labor scraped off a listing board
  • Whatever figure we put on paper is the figure you settle — locked in, signed, and exact to the dollar
  • One unchanged crew, from the first box hoisted onto the truck to the last one carried through your new door
  • Florida (FDACS) intrastate moving registration, USDOT/MC on the books for interstate runs, and every single job backed by full insurance and up to $1,000,000 in cargo coverage
  • One Lake Worth office and one point of contact, from your first call to the last box set down
What a broker does
  • Hands your move off to whatever outfit happens to undercut the rest that week
  • Allows the price to balloon the day of the move, padded with extras that were never raised beforehand
  • Sends a crew you have not exchanged a single word with up your staircase, your whole household in their hands
  • Keeps it vague about which insurance policy actually covers a TV that hits the floor
  • Stands a call center in your way, so reaching whoever eventually turns up to load is a maze

Questions we hear about this service

I rented my own truck or pod. Can you just load it for me?
Yes, load-only and unload-only labor is one of our regular services. Our trained Sawgrass crew shows up, packs your rental truck, pod or trailer tight and balanced, and ties it down for the road. It is our own movers, not day labor we found that morning, so the load is done right.
Will the load hold up for a long drive up I-95?
That is the whole point of having a real crew load it. We pack heavy on the bottom, balance the weight across the axle, pad and shrink-wrap the furniture and run tie-downs so nothing shifts on a long haul up I-95 or the Turnpike. A poorly packed pod is where damage happens, and we pack to avoid it.
How does labor-only pricing work?
Labor is billed at our standard crew rates, $165 an hour for two movers or $225 an hour for three, with no one-hour minimum, since there is no truck of ours on the job. You only pay for the loading or unloading help you actually need, and $115 down reserves the date and is credited toward your final total.
