Mobile lumpers, dispatched where the trailer is

When the freight cannot come to a warehouse, the labor goes to the freight. We dispatch vetted unloading crews to trailers, yards, job sites and receivers that need help now.

Short answer

WarehouseNow dispatches on-demand mobile lumper crews to unload, load, restack or transload freight wherever the trailer is parked. Crews are confirmed within 15 minutes and typically on site the same day in major U.S. markets.

What mobile lumper service covers

A mobile lumper service sends trained warehouse labor to the freight instead of moving the freight to a warehouse. Carriers use it when a receiver has no dock crew, a driver cannot unload alone, or a load needs restacking in a truck stop lot. Brokers and shippers use it for pop-up distribution, trade shows, retail resets and overflow receiving. Crews bring pallet jacks, wrap and basic tools; forklifts and liftgates can be arranged.

How it works

Tell us where and what

Address, trailer type, piece or pallet count, floor-loaded or palletized, and whether a forklift is available on site.

We dispatch the crew

Within 15 minutes we confirm a crew size, arrival window and flat or hourly rate. Crews are vetted, insured and used to working receivers and yards.

Work done, counts signed

The crew unloads, loads or restacks, confirms counts with the driver or receiver and sends photos. Billing matches the quote.

Typical turnaround

Crew confirmed in 15 minutes. Same-day arrival in most metros, often within 2 to 4 hours. Scheduled jobs can be booked days ahead. Nights and weekends are available.

What drives the cost

  • Crew size and estimated hours, driven by piece count and whether freight is floor-loaded
  • Equipment needs such as forklift, liftgate or pallet jacks on site
  • Travel distance to rural or remote locations
  • After-hours, weekend and holiday dispatch
  • Repeat or scheduled work, which lowers the per-visit rate

Every quote covers the full job, including materials, after-hours labor and any storage days, so the number you pass to your customer or your claim is the number you pay.

Mobile Lumper Service: frequently asked questions

What does a mobile lumper crew do?

Unload, load, restack, re-wrap and transload freight at any location with truck access: receivers without dock labor, truck stops, yards, job sites and events.

How fast can a crew get to my driver?

We confirm within 15 minutes. In major markets crews are usually on site within a few hours the same day.

Do crews bring equipment?

Pallet jacks, stretch wrap and hand tools are standard. Forklifts and liftgate trucks can be arranged when the site has none.

Can you unload a floor-loaded container?

Yes. Floor-loaded freight is the most common mobile lumper job. Tell us the piece count and we will size the crew accordingly.
