Loading and Unloading Movers in Phoenix, AZ

We provide loading and unloading services in Phoenix, AZ. Our movers load your truck, unload it at the other end, or do both. You choose the part of the move you need help with.

Choose the help you need

Loading and unloading are separate jobs. You can book either one or both.

Loading only

Movers load your rental truck at the old address. You drive it to the new one.

Unloading only

Movers unload a truck that has already arrived and carry everything inside.

Loading and unloading

Movers handle both ends of the move so you never lift a heavy item.

Heavy and awkward items

Sofas, dressers, appliances, and other bulky items are wrapped and carried by movers who handle them every day.

How we protect your belongings

Careful handling from the first item to the last

Protection starts before the first item leaves the room. Our movers wrap furniture in moving blankets and shrink wrap before it touches the truck. We lay floor runners on hardwood and tile and protect doorframes and walls. Furniture that has to come apart is disassembled before loading and reassembled at the destination. When we unload, movers place furniture in the rooms you choose.

Phoenix adds a few details. Apartment communities often require elevator reservations and loading dock windows, so we coordinate those ahead of time when you share the building details. Gated communities and HOA neighborhoods have their own access rules, and we plan around them. Between May and September we start early in the morning so the heavy work is finished before the afternoon heat.

This service is for people who already have a truck. If you want help with the whole move, see our labor-only movers page. If you need a truck and a driver as well, our local moving service covers the full move, and our long-distance moving service covers moves out of the Valley.

What you get when you hire movers for the heavy part

Loading and unloading is the hardest part of any move. These are the terms that come with it.

Loading and unloading questions, answered

1

Can I hire movers only to load my truck?

Yes. Our movers load the truck at your current address and you drive it to the new one. Tell us when you request a quote that you only need loading.

2

Can I hire movers only to unload?

Yes. Our movers unload a truck at your new address, carry everything inside, and place furniture in the rooms you choose.

3

Do you provide the truck?

No. This service is for people who have their own truck. For a move that includes a truck and driver, see our local moving service.

4

How long does loading or unloading take?

It depends on the size of the home and the access. A full 2-bedroom apartment move with two movers typically takes 3 to 4 hours, and loading or unloading alone takes part of that time. We confirm an estimate when we quote. Our local moving rates guide explains how time affects the price.

5

Can you carry items up stairs or through apartment elevators?

Yes. Tell us about stairs, elevator reservations, and gate access when you request a quote and we plan the job around them.

6

Is packing included?

No. Packing is a separate service. If you want boxes packed before the movers load, we can add our packing services to the job.

7

Do you work in gated communities and HOA neighborhoods?

Yes. We work in gated communities and HOA neighborhoods across the Valley. Share your community rules and move-in window when you book and we plan the job around them.

8

How soon can you schedule loading or unloading?

Same-week scheduling is available on most Phoenix moves. Call (480) 382-4660 and we tell you what is open. For urgent requests, see our same-day movers page.

We had a fantastic experience with Dose Moving! The four-man crew they sent was clearly the A-team. They helped us pack, disassembled furniture, and moved our entire four-bedroom house, including getting everything set up at the new home, in about seven hours. We were so impressed with their teamwork and efficiency. They made a big move feel much easier. Highly recommend!

We had such a great experience with Dose Moving and Storage! They were quick, efficient, and paid attention to every detail. They were super careful with all of our furniture, no matter how big or small, and were extremely helpful throughout the entire move. CJ and Eddy were awesome! They were friendly, professional, and made the whole process so easy. We really appreciated how hard they worked and how well they took care of everything. We would absolutely use them again for any future move and highly recommend them!
