How do I book labor-only movers with Lugg if I don't need a truck?

Lugg is labor-only moving help in Atlanta you can book in a couple of taps: enter your address, then tap **Labor only** in the suggestions underneath it. That sets the same address as your drop-off, so the whole job stays in one place — moving items within your home or building. You can also just enter the same address in both fields.

The Lugg app is asking me to select a truck, but I just need the movers. What should I choose?

You still pick a vehicle, because that's what sets your crew. Choose **Lite** if one mover is enough — it has the lowest base fare and the lowest per-minute rate, but it's also only one mover, so it's the cheapest way to book a one-person job. Choose **Pickup** if you need two. Weight is the other thing to check. Luggers carry up to 125 lbs per item each, so for anything over 125 lbs we recommend Pickup, which comes with two Luggers and can handle up to 250 lbs per item. For items heavier than that, book multiple crews or plan to lend a hand on site. Either way the vehicle just sits there while the crew works: with the same address at both ends there's no mileage in your fare, so you're only paying the base fare plus the per-minute labor rate.

How does Lugg calculate my time?

The clock starts when the crew arrives at your address and stops when the last thing you asked for is done. Lugg bills that time by the minute with no minimum, so a 40-minute job costs 40 minutes. If the work finishes faster than you planned you only pay for what you used, and if it runs longer the crew can keep working at the same per-minute rate. You don't book a block of time, so it helps to have a rough idea of what jobs take: * **Rearranging furniture:** moving a few heavy items within your home usually takes about an hour. * **Loading or unloading a truck or pod:** 2–3 hours for a studio or one-bedroom, 3–5 hours for a two- or three-bedroom home. * **Event setup:** varies a lot, but an hour or two covers most table, chair and decor setups. The estimator in the Lugg app or on lugg.com works out an estimated cost from the vehicle you pick and the time you expect.

What do Lugg movers bring?

Even for labor-only moves in Atlanta, your Luggers arrive with their own equipment: a dolly, moving blankets, stretch wrap, tie-down straps, forearm lifting straps, and a basic toolkit for light disassembly and reassembly. For a job where the crew both loads and unloads, you don't need to supply anything. They work to avoid marking floors, walls and elevators, and they're used to getting heavy furniture and appliances through tight doorways, up stairs and around landings.

Can Lugg movers load or unload a truck or container?

Yes. Luggers load and unload rental trucks, PODS containers and storage units in Atlanta every day. They know how to pack a load so it uses the space it has and doesn't shift on the drive — heavy pieces low and flat against the walls, padding between anything that can rub. One thing to plan for when the crew is loading but not unloading: their moving blankets are their own equipment and go back with them at the end of the job. If you want your furniture padded for the drive, or for a few months in storage, have your own blankets ready and the crew will use those. They'll bring stretch wrap either way, and anything loose should be boxed and taped before they arrive.

What can a Lugg labor-only crew do?

More than moving between two addresses. Customers book labor-only crews to: * Load or unload a rental truck, a moving container or a storage unit. * Set up and break down tables, chairs and decor for parties and events. * Rearrange furniture within a home or office. * Move something heavy — a treadmill, a safe, a sleeper sofa — to a different room or floor. * Move furniture out before the floors get refinished, then back in once they're dry. * Clear out a garage or basement before a remodel. * Stage a home before a showing, or reconfigure an office.

Will Lugg pack my boxes?

No — labor-only crews handle the lifting and carrying, not packing. Loose items like dishes, books and clothes need to be boxed and taped before the crew arrives, and Lugg doesn't supply boxes or packing materials. Since you're billed by the minute, having everything ready to go is also the cheapest way to book.

I just need one extremely heavy item moved. Is a short Lugg like that worth it?

Yes — single-item jobs are one of the most common reasons people book labor only in Atlanta. A sleeper sofa that has to go upstairs, a treadmill that has to get down to the basement, a safe that needs to move one room over: all of them are hard or unsafe to do alone. And because Lugg bills by the minute with no minimum, a fifteen-minute job costs fifteen minutes.

Paki and Brian were the best movers I've had. They kept me up to date of when they picked up the sofa and when they were on the way. They expertly moved in the sofa which is heavy and adjusted it as needed. They also helped to move/adjust a few other pieces of furniture for me. They were kind and funny and it was genuinely nice to meet them. Great experience! - Angie

The Dwayne and Kevin duo was great. I was holding my breath worried about the move (large and heavy dining table plus steep stairs to my office suite, which is in a really old building and is probably “grandfathered in” instead of meeting current building code requirements- know what I’m sayin’?), but Dwayne and Kevin are pros, and the Facebook marketplace said that they were really careful with loading the dining table and chairs. I now have a nice extendable glass top dining table in my conference room, and I couldn’t be more pleased. - Lynn

Will and Kevin were fantastic. They started out instantly going above and beyond by successfully backing our moving truck up our very steep driveway - they did not have to do this for us and we were so grateful! They unloaded all of our fragile and heavy items with care and ease, handling a small box truck in 30 minutes flat. They even reversed the moving truck back down our driveway for us as well. They were incredibly friendly and made moving, which is usually very stressful, easy. Thank you, Will and Kevin! - Nicole

I just want to know why I was charged an extra $19.77 over the $126.77 . The guys arrived at the house at 3:06 after going to the wrong house. It took them 35 minutes to load the heavy piece of furniture of which 10 minutes was deciding how to position the truck in the driveway. The drive to the other house was 15 to 20 minutes and it took 10 to 15 minutes to unload the piece into the garage. Everything took right under an hour and I commended the guys. But I was told travel time was not going to be included in the price. However? Pablo Daniel and Irvin were Great and I will use them again and refer them to friends. - Pamela Cutcliff

Labor-only movers in Atlanta: moving help when you just need the muscle

Labor-only moving help means movers without the truck: they come to you, do the lifting, and leave when the work's done. It covers the rental truck you can drive but can't load by yourself, the moving container sitting in the driveway, the sleeper sofa that has to get up three flights of stairs, and the furniture that has to come out before the floors get refinished and go back in once they're dry. Lugg is labor-only moving help in Atlanta you can book the same day, for the jobs where you've already got the truck or you're not going anywhere at all.

Can you hire movers by the hour?

Yes, and finer than that. Lugg bills moving labor by the minute with no hourly minimum, so a 40-minute job costs 40 minutes rather than the two-to-four-hour minimum most moving companies quote. The clock starts when the crew arrives and stops when you say you're done, and if the job runs longer than you planned they can keep working at the same rate. Booking it takes a couple of taps: enter your address, then tap Labor only in the suggestions underneath, and Lugg fills that same address in as the drop-off. Because nothing travels between two addresses, there's no mileage to pay — just the vehicle's base fare and the per-minute labor rate.

What a labor-only crew does, and what it doesn't

Movers load and unload a rental truck, a moving container or a storage unit, carry a single heavy item to a different room — a treadmill down to the basement, a safe across the house, a mattress up a staircase — rearrange a living room before a showing, and break down and clear out tables and chairs after an event. They bring a dolly, moving blankets, stretch wrap and straps, and they can take a bed frame apart and put it back together in the room it's going in. What they won't do is pack loose things into boxes for you: dishes, books, clothes, the junk drawer. Have all of that boxed and taped before the crew arrives, because the clock's running while they wait.
