Your load gets a departure time. We hit it.
Local runs and long haul out of one yard. Every job goes on the board with a crew, a truck, and a time, and you work from the same board we do.
| From | To | Date | Load | Status | Use this lane |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Austin TX | Denver CO | 14 Mar | 2 bed | Loading | Take this lane |
| Houston TX | Nashville TN | 16 Mar | 1 bed | Crew set | Take this lane |
| San Antonio TX | Phoenix AZ | 18 Mar | 3 bed | Truck held | Take this lane |
| Austin TX | Austin TX | 19 Mar | Office | Night run | Take this lane |
| Dallas TX | Kansas City MO | 22 Mar | Studio | Open slot | Take this lane |
Moving day fails on timing, not on muscle. The board keeps the timing honest.
One crew, both ends
The names printed on your pass are the names at your door in the morning and at the far end when the truck opens. No handoff at the state line.
Price before the truck
We quote from your room list and your access notes. That number holds unless the load changes, and any change gets written on the pass before it goes near the ramp.
Access on the manifest
Stairs, elevator windows, low branches, loading dock hours, gate codes. All of it rides on the manifest so the crew shows up with the right kit and the right number of hands.
What we run
Four services, priced four different ways. Rates are yours to set before launch; the brackets below are placeholders, not our numbers.
Local run
Same-city moves billed by the hour, with truck, pads, dollies, straps, and fuel in the rate.
2 to 4 crew / [set your hourly rate]Long haul
Interstate loads on a dedicated truck. Your shipment is the only shipment on it, so the far-end date is a date, not a window.
Fixed lane price / [set your lane list]Office shift
Studios, clinics, and offices moved after hours, bench by bench, labelled to the floor plan so Monday opens on time.
Nights and weekends / [set your office rate]Pack and crate
Full pack, kitchen-only pack, or timber crates built for the awkward pieces: stone tops, art, tanks, machines.
Materials at cost / [set your pack rate]From first call to signed pass

What moves the price
Five things, and none of them are a surprise on the day. Set your own figures in the brackets before this site goes live.
- Distance
- Local work bills by the hour. Anything past [set your local radius] bills as a fixed lane price.
- Load size
- Rooms, not guesses. A studio and a three bedroom are two different trucks and two different crews.
- Access
- Stairs, long carries, and booked elevator windows add crew hours. They go on the manifest at survey, not on the invoice afterwards.
- Timing
- Month end and the first weekend of any month fill first. Midweek dates run cheaper on most lanes.
- Extras
- Packing, crating, storage, and furniture disassembly are line items on the pass with their own prices.
Take a pass
Fill the slip and the board above the form reads it back as you type. File it and you get a printable move pass with a reference on it, plus a mail draft addressed to dispatch. Your answers travel no further than the mail you send.
Manifest, in plain text
If your mail app did not open, copy this and send it yourself. Same words dispatch would have received.
Rather talk it through
Dispatch answers the desk phone during yard hours and reads email after the last truck is back in.
- Dispatch line: [set your dispatch number]
- Email: dispatch@depotnine.example
- Yard hours: [set your yard hours]

Measured facts about this site
Questions dispatch gets every week
[set your usual lead time]. Month end fills first. Midweek dates usually open inside a week, and a cancelled slot can free up sooner, so it is worth asking.
Yes, unless the load or the access changes. A garage that was not on the survey gets priced and written on the pass before anything goes on the truck. You sign, then we load.
Fuel, propane, open paint, ammunition, and live plants over a state line. Pets travel with you, never in the truck. Anything else, ask dispatch and get a straight answer.
[set your valuation coverage, limits, and licence numbers]. Ask any mover for the certificate before you book, this one included, and read what the basic tier actually pays per pound.
Tell dispatch the hour you know. We move you to the next open slot the board allows, usually inside the same week, and your price rides along unchanged.
