Saturday 4pm — truck is loaded, customer is furious
The 'You Said It Would Be Less' Fight
You quoted 6 hours based on their '2-bedroom apartment.' It's hour 8. They didn't mention the attic full of boxes, the gun safe in the basement, the 400-pound sleeper sofa, or the fact that 'apartment' meant a third-floor walkup. Now they're staring at an invoice $600 higher than the estimate and acting like you're scamming them.
Monday morning — photo arrives showing cracked antique mirror
The Broken Heirloom Confrontation
Customer texts a photo of their grandmother's antique mirror with a crack. Claim is $2,500. Your crew chief says it was cracked when they wrapped it. No photos from either side. Insurance wants documentation. Customer wants payment now. It's their word against yours and $2,500 is your profit margin from that job.
Thursday 6am — three moves, three trucks, three crews
The Three-Truck Thursday
Full day: residential move in the morning, small office move midday, estate cleanout in the afternoon. Three crews, three trucks, you're dispatching from your phone. The morning crew finishes early and wants to know where to go. The midday crew hits traffic. The afternoon client calls to push back start time. You're playing human air traffic control.
