Rocky Mountain Stackers

You rent the truck. I load it like it's going 2,000 miles.

I'm the one your client calls when the truck is reserved and the help fell through. One person, straps and dollies already in the back, on the day you actually need someone.

The part that matters is your name on it.

A referral is your reputation on loan. Whoever shows up is standing in for you for a few hours, and how it goes follows you further than it follows him. Most of my work comes from agents who sent me once and kept sending me, so here is what I hold to.

  1. You hear from me before I'm late, not after.
  2. One number, quoted before I lift anything.
  3. If it's a two person job I say so beforehand.
  4. Break something and you hear it from me same day.

Where I fit

There's a job the big outfits don't really want.

Nothing against the full-service crews. If your client is moving a five bedroom to Denver, call one, they're built for it. But most of what comes up around a closing isn't that job.

Tip worth passing along: have your client add a dozen furniture pads when they reserve the truck. About ten dollars, and I'd rather they rent them than pay anyone a markup on blankets.

What I do

What I don't: drive your client's belongings anywhere, so their things stay in their own truck and no carrier ends up in the middle of it. Also no hazmat, no ammunition, and no Saturday I can't actually be there for.

$75 to $95 per hour · two hour minimum

Put me in your phone before you need me.

The help bails, the photos are Monday, closing is at two. You get about 18 hours of notice, and that is not the moment to go hunting for a business card.
