How do I book Movers only with Lugg if I don't need a truck?

Book Movers only in Salt Lake City, Lugg's option for jobs that stay at one address. Enter your address, tap **Movers only** underneath it, then pick your crew size and a time. If you type the same address as both your pickup and your drop-off, the app suggests Movers only for you. There's no truck to book, and you'll see your upfront estimate before you confirm.

How do I choose my crew size for Movers only?

After you tap **Movers only**, the Crew screen asks you to pick **1 Lugger** or **2 Luggers**. 1 Lugger has the lower base fare and the lower per-minute labor rate, and suits a job one person can handle, like carrying boxes or moving lighter furniture. Pick 2 Luggers for anything that takes two people to carry, like a sofa, a dresser or a washer. Weight is the other thing to check. Lugg's weight limit is 125 lbs per Lugger, or 250 lbs per item when you pick 2 Luggers. If the job needs a bigger crew than that, book a second Movers only Lugg at the same address for the same time window. Each booking has its own base fare and per-minute labor, and Movers only has no mileage fee.

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 crew size you pick and the time you expect.

What do Lugg movers bring?

Even on a Movers only job in Salt Lake City, 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 Salt Lake City 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 Lugg movers do on a Movers only job?

Anything that stays at one address. Customers book Movers only 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, like a treadmill, a safe or 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. It also works between two buildings in the same complex, as long as your movers can carry everything over without a truck. If your things need to ride in a vehicle to get there, book a standard Lugg and your movers bring the vehicle.

Will Lugg pack my boxes?

No, Lugg does not provide packing or unpacking services. On a Movers only job, Luggers handle the heavy lifting: carrying, loading and unloading, placing furniture where you want it, and basic assembly and disassembly. Have loose items like dishes, books and clothes boxed and taped before the crew arrives, since Lugg doesn't supply boxes or packing materials. Because labor is 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 Movers only in Salt Lake City. 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 labor is billed by the minute with no hourly minimum, a fifteen-minute job pays for fifteen minutes of labor on top of the base fare.

I've met Skyler before during one of our moves. And was ecstatic to know that he would be back. This time he brought Mason who was equally knowledgeable, friendly and hard worker.

Bringing up the point that towards the end my wife would be packing boxes as we would be loading so we called it until another time. Thank you Skylar and Masonowski - Jesse

Both were great to work with and assisted me immensely in the task needed. Only thing I would recommend for LUGG is maybe bring moving/lifting things and if you need them they are at least there.

Movers only in Salt Lake City: labor-only moving help when you just need movers

Sometimes the job needs people, not a truck. You need help loading a moving truck you rented or the PODS in the driveway, a sleeper sofa has to get up three flights of stairs, you're rearranging furniture before a showing, the tables and chairs need setting up for an event, or everything has to clear a room for new floors and come back once they've cured. Lugg is an on-demand moving and delivery service that offers Movers only in Salt Lake City, labor-only moving help you can book the same day for any job that stays at one address. Some people call them load-only movers.

How to book Movers only

The Movers only button sits right under your address. Tap it, choose how many movers the job needs, and pick a time, and the price shows before anything is booked. It works the same way in the Lugg app and on the web, and it's the quickest way to hire moving help without arranging a truck.

Can you hire movers by the hour?

Yes, and finer than that. Lugg bills moving labor by the minute, so a 40-minute job pays for 40 minutes of labor instead of the two-to-four-hour block most moving companies charge for. The base fare depends on the crew size you pick, and with nothing traveling between two addresses there's no mileage. Running long is fine too: the same rate simply continues.

What Movers only covers, and when to book a standard Lugg

Movers fill or empty a rental truck, a PODS or a storage unit, carry a single heavy item to another room or floor, like a treadmill down to the basement or a mattress up a staircase, and take on any job where you need help moving furniture without going anywhere. They show up with a dolly, blankets, straps and stretch wrap, and they can take a bed frame apart and put it back together in the room it's going in. For a PODS or a U-Box, the container pages cover what to have ready.

Two buildings in one complex count too, as long as everything can be carried across on foot. If anything has to ride in a vehicle to get where it's going, book a standard Lugg instead and your movers bring the vehicle.
