Man with a Van

Hi all! Looking for a “man with a van” to help me pick up a desk from Park Slope, and possibly a dining table from Jackson Heights. Will ride along and help with carrying items up and down stairs. Delivery will be in Crown Heights. Looking for someone inexpensive, don’t want to pay $100/hr for this kind of thing. Any leads are much appreciated. Thanks!

I always use Gary. His pricing is low and he is very reliable.

The Uhaul place on 4th Ave typically has day laborers as well, though they may be looking to get a minimum number of hours.

Near the food truck in the parking lot and also in the driveway between Home Depot & Wholesale restaurant supply place next door. Early in the day is best.

Where do day workers hang out at Home Depot on Hamilton Ave? I’ve never seen any when I needed labor.

Rent a zip car/Van for a couple of hours and pick up a guy at the Home Depot gate to help you. That is the only way to avoid as you say the $100.00 an hour guys.
