Fast, Professional Truck Unloading in Houston
A lumper is a crew that loads or unloads freight for a truck so the driver does not have to. At MV Houston Crossdock our lumper crews unload floor-loaded and palletized freight quickly and safely, then palletize, wrap and stage it — or reload it onto another truck. Drivers save time, avoid detention, and get rolling to the next load.

Lumper FAQ
What is a lumper service?
A lumper service is a third-party crew hired to load or unload freight from a truck. It is common at warehouses and distribution centers, especially for floor-loaded freight.
Who pays the lumper fee?
It depends on the agreement between the shipper, broker and carrier. Usually the carrier pays at the dock and is reimbursed by the broker or shipper using the lumper receipt.
Do you unload floor-loaded freight?
Yes. We break down floor-loaded trailers and containers, palletize and wrap the freight, and stage it or reload it. See also container devanning.
Can you restack a load that shifted?
Yes. Our pallet restack and rework service fixes shifted, leaning or damaged loads so they are accepted at the receiver.
How much does a lumper cost?
Pricing depends on the type of freight, piece count and whether it is floor-loaded or palletized. Call (786) 510-6623 for a quick quote.
