Local moves across the Austin metro
I’m Cole Hendrix, and since 2013 my crew has hauled apartments and houses all over town — a Rainey St high-rise studio, a SoCo bungalow, a South Congress duplex, a rental out in Pflugerville. One W-2 uniformed team loads you and sets everything down at the far end.
What the hourly rate covers
A two-mover truck bills at $155/hr and a third mover brings it to $205/hr; either way there’s a one-hour minimum. Furniture pads, dollies, stretch-wrap, wardrobe cartons and certificate-of-insurance prep come loaded on the truck at no extra line. The moment Marisol reads your inventory, that figure is locked in writing.

Built around Texas heat and I-35
Central Texas summers push past 100, so Bryce books dawn starts and threads your truck around I-35 and MoPac before rush hour clamps down. On tower jobs the pads and shrink-wrap stay put through the entire elevator haul.
Every job opens at the free released-value tier — sixty cents a pound — and you can step up to full protection reaching $1,000,000, with nine months to file any claim. Heading out beyond the Austin metro? See long-distance.

So what does it come to?
Two movers and the truck come in at $155/hr once the clock starts — or pin it down with a single signed Austin flat rate that lays the whole job out on one page
That number already covers your moving blankets, hand trucks, rolls of shrink-wrap and the slow, careful carries a South Congress condo or an East Austin walk-up demands — plus any building COI a downtown high-rise or an HOA out in the suburbs wants on file ahead of load-day. Bring a third mover onto the job and the hourly ticks up to $205.
