FAQs: Daily Labor for Loading PODS, Portable Storage Units & Public Storage
Moving Costs for a 16-ft POD or 10x10 Storage Unit
If you’re using a 16-ft portable storage container (POD) or moving the contents of a 10×10 storage unit, you can typically expect pricing to fall between $400 and $900,
Are there any unique moving challenges to a POD
When loading a POD or storage container, please have your own moving pads, straps, and covers.
Anything placed inside travels with the container, and our crew can’t get it back. We’ll help you pack and secure everything safely using your materials.
Do local movers need a license?
YES, local movers must be licensed with the appropriate authority (e.g., the State Department of Transportation, Public Utilities Commission, or Consumer Affairs). Always check credentials and reviews before hiring.
When is the best time to move?
For a smoother and more affordable move, try to avoid the busiest times — typically May through September.
Are tips $$ expected for local moves?
While tipping is not required, it is appreciated. It is common to tip $20–$40 per mover for a full day of work, depending on service quality.
How much does a long-distance move cost?
The average long-distance move ranges from $1,200 to $5,000 or more. Pricing depends on the distance, size of the move, and whether you need extra services like packing or storage.
Do long-distance movers offer storage?
Most do not offer short-term and long-term storage. It’s important to find out about climate-controlled units, access hours, and any extra fees.
Are there any state-specific regulations for long-distance moves
If you are moving out of your state, your mover must be registered with the U.S. DOT for interstate transport. Some movers may also require additional insurance or documentation—always confirm before booking.
How do you ensure my items are loaded securely to prevent shifting or damage during transport?

Bungee cords
Tie-down straps
Ratchet straps
Moving blankets
Furniture pads
Dollies & hand trucks
Plastic wrap (for protecting furniture and drawers)
How long does it usually take to load a 16-ft POD?
