"Jose and his 2 man team from Rocket Services showed up yesterday right on time and after a through walk through with myself began to unload my two full Pods. Their respectful and efficient unloading of all of my personal items was something to behold and I was very pleased with the overall experience! I would highly recommend Rocket Services to my family and friends as my new moving resource for the Front Range from now on..."

"Jose and his crew did an amazing job. They were very professional and treated our items and home with respect. They loaded our pod efficiently and ensured all of our furniture was protected and would not move around during transit. I would highly recommend them for anyone's moving needs. We were grateful for their hard work and impressed with the professionalism they showed."

How much does it cost to load a truck for a long-distance move?
Loading is hourly with a 2-hour minimum: $149/hr for 2 helpers or $199/hr for 3. A 2-bedroom home into a 20 ft truck often takes 2 helpers about 3 to 4 hours, so roughly $450 to $600 plus mileage. Larger homes go faster with 3 or 4 helpers.
Can you unload the truck in my new state?
Only if the new home is within our 100-mile service area from Aurora. For moves farther away, book local moving helpers at your destination for the unload. We load so the unload is easy: rooms grouped and boxes labeled.
Do you drive the truck?
No. Rocket Services is labor only. You rent and drive the truck, and our crew loads it. That keeps the cost down and keeps your belongings with you the whole way.
What makes a long-distance load different from a local one?
More padding, tighter tiers and more straps. Every tier is strapped so nothing shifts during braking or on rough roads, and gaps are filled with soft items so boxes cannot slide.
