Rented a truck already? We'll do the lifting
Plenty of people are happy to drive a rental truck from College Station to Austin. What they don't want is to carry a sleeper sofa down two flights of apartment stairs in August. That's where labor-only moving comes in. You handle the truck, the fuel and the route. Aggie Movers Company shows up with a trained crew, dollies, straps and pads, and gets everything on board tight, padded and square so nothing shifts on the drive.
It's the cheapest way to work with professional movers, because you're only paying for hands and know-how. Owner Wailan Watson built the crews around the kind of work the Brazos Valley actually asks for — student apartments, farmhouses off a county road, families loading a trailer for Dallas on their own schedule. Tell us the address, the floor, the parking situation and what you're loading into, and we'll bring the right number of people.
Loading pods, trailers and 26-footers around College Station
A truck is a puzzle. Load it badly and you'll hear your furniture rearranging itself every time you brake. Our crews build a wall-by-wall load: heaviest flat pieces against the front, mattresses on edge, boxes stacked by weight, voids filled with soft goods, and straps across every tier. Done right, a rental truck holds far more than most people think — which often means one trip instead of two.
- Loading rental trucks, enclosed trailers and flatbeds
- Packing portable storage containers and pods to the door line
- Unloading at the far end and placing furniture in the right rooms
- Reloading a storage unit so you can actually walk into it
- Unpacking the truck when the drive-up help bailed on you
- Shrink wrap, blankets, dollies and straps brought by the crew
If you're moving into a storage unit, tell us the unit size. There's a real difference between a crew that stacks to the ceiling with an aisle down the middle and a crew that fills the front six feet and calls it done.
Hourly labor is honest work. You tell us what's going on the truck, we tell you how many movers it takes, and we don't stop until it's strapped in.
Heavy pieces, tight stairwells and in-home shuffles
Labor-only isn't only about trucks. A lot of our hourly calls never leave the building. Someone bought a gun safe and it's sitting in the garage. A new rug is arriving and the bedroom set has to come out first. A piano needs to cross the living room, not the county. We'll come handle the one job that nobody in the family wants to attempt.
- Moving a piano, safe, treadmill or armoire from one room to another
- Hauling appliances up or down apartment stairs in College Station and Bryan
- Rearranging a dorm or student apartment at move-in
- Loading junk, donations or an estate cleanout into your own trailer
- Getting bulky deliveries off the curb and into the house
We'd rather hear the awkward details up front. Narrow 1930s staircase in Navasota? Third floor walk-up with a tight landing? A door frame the dresser clearly did not come through? Say so when you book. That's the information that decides whether we send two movers or four, and it's what keeps the hourly total from surprising you.
Where our labor-only crews work
Hourly crews run all over the Brazos Valley and the towns around it — College Station, Bryan, Millican, Snook, Iola, Anderson, Somerville, Navasota, Roans Prairie, Washington, Lyons, Mumford, Caldwell, North Zulch, Bedias, Wheelock, Hearne, Brenham, Madisonville and Rockdale. We also meet trucks and containers in Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio, which is handy when you load here and need hands waiting at the other end.
Give us the pickup address, the type of truck or container, roughly how many rooms are going in, and the stairs or elevator situation. We'll tell you the crew size and the hourly rate before anyone picks up a box. Ready to get it on the calendar?
