Detailed Scope of Services

Rocket Services LLC provides labor-only moving help. Our crew works at your locations: we load, unload, pack, unpack, assemble, disassemble, arrange and carry your items. We never transport, haul, store or dispose of your belongings, and our crew never drives your truck. All services are billed at hourly rates plus mileage, as described in our Payment Policy. Brand names are used only to describe the equipment we work with; Rocket Services LLC is not affiliated with those companies.

1. Loading & Unloading Help

• Overview: We load and unload the rental truck, moving container, trailer, freight truck, storage unit or dumpster that you arrange.

  • Loading and unloading of rental trucks (such as U-Haul, Penske and Budget), moving containers (such as PODS, U-Box, U-Pack and Pack-Rat), trailers, freight trucks and storage units.
  • Loading your dumpster during a clean out.
  • Professional lifting techniques, dollies and careful stacking to help prevent shifting while the crew is loading.
  • Heavy items up to 400 pounds (see Section 11).
  • On labor-only jobs, moving blankets, wrap, straps and padding are not included because they stay in your load. They can be purchased as supplies (see Section 10).
