One of the most common questions we get when someone’s booking a move is simple: do I need two movers or three? It’s a fair question, because crew size affects both your hourly rate and how long the job actually takes — and getting it right can genuinely save you money, not cost you more.
The Basic Trade-Off
At HSG Movers, a 2-person crew with a 4.5-tonne truck is $110/hr, and a 3-person crew with the same size truck is $135/hr. The extra $25/hr for a third person sounds like a bigger spend — but a bigger crew often finishes the same job in noticeably less time, so the total cost can end up similar, or even lower, than a smaller crew working longer.

Not Sure? Ask Us
If you’re on the fence, tell us roughly how many rooms you’re moving, whether there are stairs at either end, and if anything heavy or awkward is involved. We’ll recommend the crew size that actually fits your job, rather than defaulting to whichever one is easiest for us — getting this right the first time is what keeps your total cost down.
