Estimate cost of moving a couch (nearby)...

[Doug]

What would be fair ? I just bought a truck recently.. thinking of CL'ing local shit where somebody needs a truck, and I have one.

Like I have to drive 5 miles to origination, help load it, secure it, drive it say 10 miles to where it is going, help unload.

What's that worth in cash ? The truck can be filled to capacity, throw in whatever other shit you want.

I want to be done in under 2 hours... what's it worth ? I'm mainly truck provider and driver, will help load... no additional insurance.

$40.

 

[BettingFoodStamps]

20 an hour if u dont help, 30 an hour if you help.

 

[Doug]

$40.

Canadian ?

I have to think $50 US, esp. if it takes 2 hours, but I'd probably do it for $40 to start.

I wouldn't make much getting $40 for the job, hard to do it in an hour, plus my gas.. I think $40 USD is a friendly price.

 

[Doug]

I think this needs better definition. Anything small job you try to do takes an hour at least !

I look at it in reverse.... I need to move a pickup load of shit, I don't think I get somebody to move it for $40.

I basically want like $20/hour for time +mileage, so I might be able to short move a load for $30-40 cash, not much less than that !

 

[Doug]

I think it would cost me at least $40-50 if I tried to hire a competitor to do it,but I might be wrong ?

I don't see how you could touch it for less than $40 min, and I'm not trying to rip anybody off. All I desire is fair compensation, and some side cash.

 

[Doug]

I think two hours of my time with a truck for $50 is cheap, on my gas, too !, pretty easily a fair deal.

Worth whatever a person will pay. Never price before you offer a service. Negotiation is key.

What do you tip a couch mover this time of year?

 

[WVU]

Doug, you would make more money and have less hassles picking up dog shit

 

[mr21]

these guys with trucks that sit outside Costco with their trucks charge min. $100 to deliver stuff like furniture and TVs you just purchased

Why wouldn't I just rent a truck at Uhaul for $19.99?

im in the furniture/moving buisness and when i do a move no matter how big or small i get a truck fee of $100(in town) and $50 an hour for me and $25 an hour for each person i bring with me but i rarely bring more than one person and ive called around other moving companys and im very cheap compared to them

 

[RebuyGuy]

Don't people ave friends? Who would hire you nerds for that amount to move a couch?

:WTF:

 

[mr21]

everyone isn't poor like you, we would rather pay others to lift heavy shit for us, wash our cars, and mow our lawns

Is saving $40 worth getting a hernia?

You get a hernia lifting a couch?

May want to consider working out Mr.:lolBIG:

 

[Doug]

all I'm saying is that I'd be willing to use the pickup to help a local resident ( lacking a truck) to move something.

I'd want something like $25/hour for my time, and a touch for gas.

I think I could make this work, give me $50 or so (cash) for a quick local move -it special that takes 90 minutes

If it's a friend, I'll give them the truck keys no problem... just return the truck with more gas than was in it when I loaned it to you ! If I have to help load the shit, then I may as well drive the truck too !

I'm not a bad guy, I'm not going to charge somebody a $100 minimum to move something... if it's a small job... $40-50... but don't make me wait !

 

[RebuyGuy]

Dumbest fucking thread, EVER.

hno:

 

[yagerbomb]
