Furniture Market week is the busiest stretch on our calendar, and it’s the right place to start any High Point conversation. Twice a year — April and October — the showrooms along Main Street and Westchester Drive fill up, freight bays line the Commerce district, and after-hours load-outs run past midnight while showroom-window restrictions cap what can leave the floor during open hours. Wesley Holloway started Best Bet Moving and Labor in 2014 partly because the Triad needed a household mover who could also stage that kind of freight. So when our crew quotes a High Point household — whether in the Emerywood brick Colonials, an Adams Farm-style new build off Eastchester, or a Skeet Club ranch headed up to a Jamestown subdivision — we’re already comfortable with the city’s twin rhythm of furniture freight and residential carry.
Two services under one roof, and High Point is where it shines
The brand name is literal: we book full moves with our own trucks AND we book hourly labor-only crews from the same W-2 payroll. Around the Market that matters. A homeowner with a truckload of Bernhardt or Sherrill arriving from a showroom may not need a 26-foot box truck and a flat-rate move — they need three guys who know how to walk a dining set up a brick stoop without scuffing the casing. That’s a labor-only call. A family relocating from the Skeet Club area into Kernersville needs the opposite: trucks, blankets, written total, the works. We staff both off the same roster, and the crew is on our payroll either way.
- Market freight, in the house: showroom truckloads from the Commerce district handled labor-only — we walk the piece in, place it, and disappear, no truck rental on our end needed.
- Emerywood & College Park stoops: brick Colonials with porch columns and shallow landings get a planned carry path before move morning so a sleeper sofa never has to be tilted twice.
- Skeet Club new builds: the wider lots off Skeet Club Road and the cul-de-sac builds toward Jamestown stage easily, but Carolina red clay after a thunderstorm bites — we bring boards.
- Crawl-space ranches: standard Piedmont stock here is one-story brick over a crawl, so the carry is mostly ground-floor, and we plan a clear lane from tailgate to den.
What a High Point job actually costs
✓ Our own trucks, with Best Bet movers on our W-2 payroll
- Ring the office and Wesley or somebody else from the Battleground Avenue team picks up in person — never a rented call floor in another state
- The figure on the written estimate is the figure you settle on at the door, full stop — no surprise stair fee, no overweight surcharge, no padded line slid quietly onto the invoice.
- The same Best Bet crew packs the house, fills the truck and walks the boxes back inside at the destination, with no swap at any point
- $1M of cargo coverage rides every load, and any COI your HOA or downtown high-rise needs goes out the same business day
- If anything goes sideways, Wesley handles the claim directly out of the Greensboro office, and it never bounces around a third-party desk
× Broker chain
- Hand those same details to a broker and they bounce across a call floor before getting auctioned to whichever carrier underbids the rest.
- Surprise “assessment fees” tacked onto the invoice the minute the truck rolls up
- An unmarked truck pulls in carrying a crew nobody at the office can really vouch for
- The COI and the HOA paperwork get dumped back on you to chase down before the elevator opens
- A broken heirloom brushed aside with a “that crew was not really ours” line and a phone number that goes to voicemail
Wesley writes the number once we’ve seen the home, and it doesn’t move. Full-move hourly runs $115/hr for two of our crew, $160/hr for three, and $205/hr for four. Labor-only — same crew, no truck — runs $95/hr for two, $130/hr for three, and $165/hr for four. Most homes land inside the flat bands: studio $390–$640, 1-bed $640–$1,040, 2-bed $1,040–$1,700, 3-bed $1,700–$2,780, 4-bed $2,720–$4,300. An upright piano off an Emerywood living room is $275–$450, a baby grand $470–$820. If keys don’t hand off cleanly, climate-controlled storage is roughly $95–$230 a month by unit size.
Federal protection that travels with the load
Every High Point job — full move or labor-only loading — moves under $1M in cargo coverage. Released value sits at $0.60 per pound by default; full-value protection adds 1–3% if you want repair or replacement on a damaged item. The claim window is nine months across the board, written into the bill of lading. Those four numbers are federal and identical at every legit mover; we just say them out loud.
Long hauls out of the Triad
Plenty of High Point families head out of state once the kids finish at Penn-Griffin or Wesleyan. Our long-distance lanes leave from right here: I-85 down to Charlotte (95 miles), I-40 east to Raleigh (80 miles), US-29 up to Richmond, VA (155 miles), and I-40 west to Asheville (165 miles). The Best Bet crew that loads in High Point is the crew that unloads at the other end. Never interlined, never brokered, never handed to a partner network.
