Relocating can be both exciting and challenging, especially when you’re balancing logistics, timelines, and costs. At 208 Moving Company, we believe in providing our customers with clear and transparent pricing so you know exactly what to expect before your big move. Whether you’re moving locally within Boise or across the country, understanding our pricing and labor details will help make your experience seamless and stress-free.

Local Moving Labor Charges: Know What You’re Paying For

When it comes to local moves within Boise and nearby areas, our team at 208 Moving Company charges based on a straightforward hourly rate. Here’s how it works:

• Starting and Stopping the Clock: Our rate begins when the moving crew arrives at your starting location. It stops only once every item has been unloaded and placed at the final destination. This means that every minute from pickup to delivery is on the clock, ensuring full transparency.
• Minimum Charge: We have a 1.5-hour minimum charge, making sure you get our professional service even if it’s a short-distance move. After this minimum is met, we charge by the minute. You’re only paying for the time you actually use, with no hidden fees or surprises.
• No Daily Overtime Rate: We keep our pricing structure simple and do not charge a daily overtime rate, allowing you to plan your move without worrying about any additional charges for extended hours.

Local Travel Charges

Aside from labor, travel charges may apply to cover our crew’s time spent getting to and from your locations. Local travel charges are calculated based on the number of movers and trucks required for your move. This includes:

• Travel to and from Our Office: We account for the time it takes for our crew to get from our office to your starting location and, once the move is completed, from the final destination back to our office.

Long-Distance & Interstate Moves: Transparent Labor & Travel Pricing

For those moving beyond Boise or even across state lines, 208 Moving Company offers long-distance moving services with a pricing structure that prioritizes clarity and fairness:

• Labor Charges: On long-distance moves, our rate starts when the crew arrives to begin loading your belongings and stops once the truck doors are closed. Upon arrival at your new location, the unloading rate begins when our crew arrives and stops once everything is moved into your new home. Like our local moves, there’s no minimum charge for long-distance moves, and we bill by the minute to keep costs as precise as possible.
• Travel Charges for Interstate Moves: The travel charge for long-distance moves is calculated based on the total miles between all locations. This covers everything from our office to the pickup location, the destination, and back to Boise. By basing charges on mileage, we offer a straightforward approach to long-distance moving costs.

What We Don’t Handle (For Your Safety and Ours)

To ensure the safety of our crew and your belongings, there are a few things that we leave out of our service offerings. These include:

• Hazardous Materials: We do not transport any items classified as hazardous, including flammable liquids, explosives, gases, or corrosive materials. If you have questions about specific items, please contact us in advance.
• Mounting or Disconnecting Appliances: For safety, our team does not disconnect or reconnect gas lines, nor do we secure items like TV mounts or bookcases to walls. If needed, we can disconnect water lines to appliances like washers or refrigerators, but only if a release of liability is signed.
