The Clock Keeps Running on Unloading Help
and So Does the UncertaintyMost unloading help is billed by the hour. You get an estimate before the crew starts, but the final price isn't decided until the last box is inside. If the job takes longer than expected, you pay for the extra time.
That's a lot of uncertainty to carry on unloading day.
Red Cat does it differently.
We agree on the price before we start, so you know what you're paying before the first box comes off the truck.

Hourly vs. Flat Rate
Why Let the Clock Decide What You Pay?
Hourly unloading help gets expensive when the truck arrives late, the elevator is booked or the stairs are tight. With a flat rate, the clock on moving day is our problem, not yours.
