Short-haul work is the daily bread for Back To Back Moving. Our W-2 crews roll out of the Keystone Avenue yard each morning and spend the day inside Marion County, which is why a same-day or next-day relocation between Broad Ripple and Fountain Square rarely turns into a scramble. We are a licensed Indianapolis household-goods carrier with our own trucks — never a referral network.
Where our short-haul crews work
We cover quick jobs throughout the Circle City — IUPUI and Butler rentals, established Hamilton County subdivisions, downtown condos by Monument Circle, and the smaller suburbs listed on our Indianapolis service-areas map. If both addresses sit inside the I-465 loop or its immediate ring, it is a short-haul job on one hourly or flat rate.
- Downtown Indianapolis, Mass Ave, Fountain Square, and Lockerbie Square inside the loop
- Carmel, Fishers, and Westfield along the US-31 and Keystone Parkway corridor
- Greenwood, Beech Grove, and Speedway around the south and west loop
- Avon, Plainfield, and Brownsburg west along I-74 and Rockville Road
How an Indianapolis job is priced and run
You pick the rate that fits. Hourly suits smaller or unpredictable jobs, while a flat written number locks the price before a single carton leaves the basement. Truck, pads, and dollies are included either way — there is no separate fuel line or equipment fee tacked on.
| Crew | Hourly rate | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 2 movers + truck | $115/hr | Studios, one-bedrooms, light loads |
| 3 movers + truck | $155/hr | 2-3 bedroom homes with finished basements or stairwells |
Mid-morning starts in winter
From December through February, Indiana ice can glaze a Broad Ripple driveway overnight and tornado-season rain hits hard in April. We schedule winter relocation slots after the salt trucks have cleared the side streets along Keystone and 38th — easier on the box truck, safer for your hardwood.
Who books short-haul work with us
Most clients are Eli Lilly hires shifting closer to the downtown corridor, IU Health Methodist clinicians moving north toward Carmel, and longtime homeowners trading a finished basement for a Fishers ranch. Students cycling Mass Ave apartments book our apartment relocation service, and households leaving the metro for Chicago or Louisville pick up the long-distance lanes. The crew that loads in Indianapolis is the crew that unloads — no second carrier.
- Walkthrough or free quote form — tell us room count, basement load, stairwell, and any heavy pieces.
- Written rate — we send back an hourly estimate or a flat number with the start window.
- Move day — the uniformed crew pads furniture, protects hardwood, and confirms placement before they leave.
What Our Indy Metro Crew Handles On The Job
- Box truck, blankets, and dollies on every Indianapolis job
- Uniformed, background-checked W-2 crew (never day labor)
- Floor runners and door-frame guards at both addresses
- Disassembly and reassembly of standard beds and tables
- Choice of $115/hr two-mover rate or a flat written price
- $1M cargo coverage included at no extra charge
What It Costs Around Indy
A two-mover team runs $115/hr with a two-hour minimum; a three-mover team is $155/hr, and bigger Indy jobs are pinned down as one flat written figure before our truck rolls off Keystone Avenue.
Two of our own W-2 movers, a padded box truck, four-wheelers, shrink wrap and quilted blankets — the entire Indianapolis job folded into a single Back To Back Moving rate, with no handoff to a third-party van line at any point in the day.
