Movers?

Cuando y donde?

That's when and where to you and me.

I got an estimate online. So how does it work? You check off on what you need moved, get a quote and if you left off a thing or two, you get charged extra in the end? Im guessing they don't come out to see for themselves...

Damn that's crazy. I was filing stuff last night and came across their quote. I will see which one it was later.

Mine was moving just 1-2 miles up Custer from the Ridgeview course to the Craig Ranch course. The 6 men part is where I know it isdifferent. Mine was around 8-9 hours with 3 guys, but I moved a lot on my own

DAMN! Moving 45 miles it's gonna kill me!

We packed our own stuff, but to put it in perspective for the guy I used it was 8 or 900 dollars. We gave a 200 dollar tip.

He showed up around 0630 and was done around 1900.

Him and 2 guys

1 24' Truck Filled
1 12' Trailer Filled
2 Pickups Filled
1 Mustang Filled

When I say filled - cabs and all were stuff full. Almost did not have enough room for a broom.

Things of note, is a fairly large gun safe, 2 packed tool boxes, a medium sized - old school/home built smoker (heavier than gun safe)...etc

(This was after we did a run with our own 24' truck and 12' trailer load and not our storage units. )

The distance was from Plano to Van Alstyne - 40.5 miles

I just checked and that's far off from mine.
Trip fee: $55
No Fuel Surcharge.
3 men x $100/hr.

Make sure it was www.firehousemovers.com just in case. If it was they have gone up quite a bit over the last couple years.

it was www.firehousemoving.com, so different org, thanks for correcting. I've contacted them and their rates look far better.

Seems like every moving company is "off duty fireman" or some shit like that...

Note to self, start business, claim to be off duty fireman. People like firemen......or maybe off duty church minister

Good deal. I've used them twice with excellent results. If you do the quote online, the office manager will email you fairly quickly with an accurate quote. Best advice is to make sure you schedule a day where you are FIRST on the list, otherwise you deal with other people "underestimating" the size of their move and it causes long delays.

Fuck it. I found a Mexican and reserved a 26 footer.......
