What makes a Jacksonville move harder

30.7% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 2.82.

Tell the mover about access before they price it. Reviews name access problems most often as heat and weather, elevators, tight streets and driveways. Say which of those fit your place when you ask for a quote. Haulest is not a carrier and does not price the move. A short note on access gives the estimate something solid to use. Read how to read a moving estimate before you accept a number.

Damage comes up often enough to mention first. 30.7% of these reviews mention damage, and the mean rating is 2.82. Treat that rating as a mean. It sits with the damage notes, separate from the medians for price. List anything fragile when you request the quote so the crew knows what can break.

What a moving crew earns around Jacksonville

Half of the hand movers in the Jacksonville, FL area earn less than $19.73 an hour (US: $19.35); truck drivers, $26.74. An hourly quote for a crew pays two or three of them, plus the truck, fuel, insurance, and the company's margin, so the rate per mover is usually two to three times the wage. A rate near the wage itself means someone is not insured or not paid.

US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics, May 2025: 53-7062 Laborers and freight, stock, and material movers, hand (17,350 jobs in the area); 53-3032 Heavy and tractor-trailer truck drivers. The occupation includes warehouse work, not only moving crews. BLS wage data
