Maximize savings and control moving the costs of hiring movers by effectively hiring the right number of movers.
A common question in the moving industry is “how many movers will I need to complete my move?” Due to our very competitive 2 mover rate, some of our customers have a tendency to want use 2 movers even if they are moving a large home.
When to hire two movers?
With some exceptions, two movers are ideal for: moves with limited items; deliveries; rearranging your furniture at the same location; moves with a very short distance between the truck and residence, and ground level to ground level moves. Generally speaking, two movers will be able to complete moving requests that are roughly 800 square feet (approximately the size of most one bedroom apartments) or smaller. If you are unsure of how many movers to use, please contact the 150 Movers by phone or e-mail and a representative will gladly suggest the appropriate number of movers.

Shattering common misconceptions about hiring two or three movers.
Myth: Hiring two over three movers is always cheaper –
On the surface, it would appear that this is the cheapest way to move…but not so fast! In some situations, using 3 movers will actually cost roughly the same amount (as 2 movers) and will also complete your move in a shorter amount of time.
Fact: The further the front door is from the van, the longer it takes movers to get items in and out of your home
Another factor to consider is the distance from where one of our moving vehicles can park and load and the door in which your household goods and furniture will be moved from. Even a small, one bedroom move with a long ‘walk’ can be a rather expensive move. Our suggestion to keep the cost down? Get the 3rd mover. Having a 3rd mover on the job will allow one mover to focus on safely positioning the items in our moving vehicle, while the other two movers focus on getting your items out as quickly and safely as possible.
It’s great to learn that you can complete a move quickly by hiring 3 movers for your house. My wife and I are wanting to move to a new area and we were wondering how we could move stuff out of our home quickly and for cheap. I’ll be sure to tell her that we should look for a moving company that can give us 3 movers to help us with the move.
