How we handle Loading & Labor
Labor-only still means full care. Whether we are loading your rental truck like a puzzle so nothing shifts on the highway, hauling a single couch up to a third-floor apartment, or unloading and setting up on the other end, everything gets padded first and nothing gets rushed.
A flat price up front, whether you need full movers or just the muscle
Plenty of Quad Cities movers put you on an hourly rate and let the clock run up the bill. Alex does it the other way: you get one flat price up front for the whole job, whether that is a full-service move or just loading help, so the number never climbs while the crew works.
Tell us about it
Run Alex through the place, the stairs and the parking, whether you need full movers or just labor to load a truck or POD, and the dates you have in mind, by phone, text, or a quick video walk-through.

Loading & Labor FAQs
Do you do labor-only, or load a POD or rental truck?
We do, and it is half of what we do, it is right in our name. Book Alex's crew just for the muscle: we will load or unload your rental truck, POD, or trailer, or move a few heavy pieces, packed tight and padded, all for one flat price.
How is the flat price kept firm?
Alex looks at what you are actually moving, or how much labor you need, and how tough the access is, then gives you one price and holds to it. As long as the job matches what you told us, it lands on that exact flat price, with no meter and no rounding up at the end.
Do stairs, a piano, or a bridge crossing get charged at the end?
No. A third-floor walk-up, a piano or a safe, and the drive across the river are all in the flat price before the first box moves, so the number never drifts from what Alex quoted you.
How much notice should I give?
A week or two out suits most jobs, and month-ends and college move weeks fill up soonest. If the crew has an opening we will still take a short-notice or next-day job, even labor-only, so it never hurts to give Alex a call.
Do you take a deposit?
Just a small refundable hold to lock in your crew and your date, and nothing else. The rest is due once the job is done, and the estimate is always free.
Are the movers Alex's crew or hired out?
Our own, every time. Alex keeps a trained, background-checked crew right here in Rock Island and runs every job himself, so no broker takes a cut and no stranger walks into your home.
Ready for a flat price you can plan the whole Quad Cities move around?
Your flat price comes straight from Alex, usually the same day you ask.
