Food in the fridge on a Kansas City moving day
Eat it, trash it, or a cooler in your car. We will not haul a full fridge of leftovers. How food sits next to a Kansas City move — not fridge prep as a slogan.
Fridge prep is empty it, defrost, pull the water line. What not to put on the truck is open food that will rot. Kitchen last is pans, not a grocery run. Plants we will not guarantee is a ficus. Cleaning after we leave is the next page. This page is leftovers on the morning: eat them, bag them, or a cooler in your car. We will not haul a full fridge. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”
From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. A cooler in the back seat does not change that number. A fridge still full of milk does.
