How to start a local moving side hustle?

Rent a truck from U-Haul or Penske, list on Thumbtack, Facebook Marketplace, and Craigslist. Price $50-$100/hour for 2 people. Moving is one of the highest-earning side hustles per hour.

What insurance do I need for a moving business?

General liability insurance ($50-$100/month) and cargo insurance ($30-$70/month) are essential. Operating without it exposes you to lawsuits if items are damaged during moves.

How to price local moving jobs?

Standard pricing: 2 movers + truck = $120-$180/hour. Add travel time. Minimum 3-hour booking. Long-distance moves: $0.50-$0.70/pound or flat rate. Always get a deposit to prevent no-shows.
