"I highly recommend reaching out to Carter at Southern Shores Moving Services if you're in need of moving assistance. We had a 26 foot box truck to unload into a 2 story home and everything was done flawlessly. They showed up on time, communicated extremely well and were overall very courteous and professional."
— Windi H"The movers were outstanding, so careful. They went the extra mile to be careful. So considerate."
— D. F."Their bid was a comparable or less than other companies. They set an agreeable time for the move. The men were on time and very efficient and hard working. They were very cordial and asked questions about the furniture and listened intently."

Yes — loading and unloading help is labor-only moving. You provide the truck, trailer, POD, or container, and we provide the moving labor by the hour. Whether you've rented a U-Haul, booked a PODS unit, U-Pack ReloCube, or any other portable storage container, our crew shows up and does the heavy lifting for you. Many customers call this 'hourly movers,' 'moving labor,' 'moving helpers,' or 'movers to load/unload a truck' — it all means the same service. It's a great option for customers who want to save money by handling transport themselves but don't want to deal with the physical strain of moving heavy furniture and boxes.
Our loading and unloading help is billed by the hour with honest, transparent pricing — no hidden fees. You pay only for the hands-on time we spend loading or unloading your truck, POD, or container plus a small booking cost. We give you a clear hourly rate up front when you request a quote, so you know exactly what to expect. There's a small minimum (typically 2 hours) so the crew can get to your location and complete most jobs, but beyond that you're billed straight-through by the hour. Get a free quote and we'll walk you through the numbers in plain English.
Yes. Our service is labor-only, so you'll need to arrange the rental truck (U-Haul, Penske, Budget) or portable storage container (PODS, U-Pack, Pack-Rat, etc.) separately before your move date. If you're unsure what size truck to rent, we're happy to give you guidance based on the volume of items you're moving. Typically a 10-foot truck works for a studio or one-bedroom, a 16-foot truck handles a small two-bedroom, and a 20–26 foot truck is better for a larger two or three-bedroom home.
Absolutely — pod loading help and pod unloading help is one of our most-requested labor-only services. We regularly help customers load and unload PODS, U-Pack ReloCubes, Pack-Rat containers, 1-800-PACK-RAT, Smartbox, and any other portable storage unit throughout Mobile and Baldwin County. Just let us know what type of container you're using, where it's located, and how much needs to go in or out — and we'll handle the rest.
Yes. A lot of our customers drive a U-Haul or rental truck cross-country and just need movers to unload at the destination. We come to your new home, unload your truck efficiently, and place items in the rooms you point us to. Same goes the other direction — if you're driving a truck yourself and only need help loading at the origin, we'll send a crew to load you up by the hour. Either way it's labor-only, billed by the hour, and you keep full control of the transport.
Yes. Furniture loading is one of the most common reasons customers hire labor-only moving help. Our crew is trained to safely lift, wrap, and load heavy furniture — couches, sectionals, beds, dressers, dining tables, washers, dryers, refrigerators, gun safes, exercise equipment, and more — into your rental truck, trailer, or POD. We bring the basic gear (dollies, hand trucks, straps) and we know how to load a truck so items don't shift in transit.
Most loading and unloading jobs take between 1–3 hours of crew time depending on the volume of your items, the size of your home, and whether stairs or multiple floors are involved. A small apartment might take 1–2 hours, while a larger home could take 3 or more hours. We'll give you a realistic time estimate when you reach out so you can plan your moving day accordingly. And because we bill by the hour, you only pay for the time we actually spend on your job.
We bring the basic equipment needed to get the job done safely and efficiently — including dollies, hand trucks, and straps. If you have specific items that require extra padding, shrink wrap, or special handling, let us know in advance so we can make sure we're fully prepared for your job. Most customers find that their rental truck or POD already includes moving blankets, but if not, they're easy to grab at any U-Haul.
