Moving & Hauling

You quoted a two-bedroom. You are looking at a garage full of it.

Phone estimates are guesses. The customer forgot the storage unit, the piano, and the fact that the new place is a third-floor walk-up. By the time the truck is loaded, the job is nothing like the number you gave.

Put the scope in writing before the truck rolls — item count, access, stairs, distance — so when it changes, you have something to point at.

Hourly, by the load, or flat rate — on the same estimate.

A local move bills crew hours. Junk removal bills by the load. A long-haul bills flat. Packing bills separately from carrying. Each line item carries its own unit, so the estimate reflects how you actually charge instead of collapsing everything into one hourly number the customer disputes later.

Stairs, long carries, and heavy items are their own lines.

Third floor with no elevator. Two hundred feet from the door to where the truck can park. A gun safe, a piano, a treadmill. These are the things that blow up a schedule, and they belong on the estimate as priced lines — not as a surprise on the invoice after the customer has watched your crew work all day.

Deposit to hold the date, balance at the tailgate.

A booked date you cannot fill is a lost day. Take a deposit against the accepted estimate to hold the slot, then invoice the balance when the last item is off the truck. The customer pays from their phone in the driveway, and the deposit is already credited against the total.

Hank AI™ turns the walk-through into a structured quote.

You walked the house, counted the rooms, noted the stairs and the parking situation, photographed the heavy items, and wrote down the destination. Hand those notes to Hank AI™ and the estimate comes back in sections — labor, truck and mileage, packing, specialty items, disposal. Your pricing goes on top.

Hank never invents quantities, rates, or margins. It organizes what you walked.

Paid by card. No platform fee from us.

The invoice goes out with a payment link. The customer pays by card or bank transfer before your crew pulls away. Stripe processes at their standard rate. Jobkore adds nothing on top.
