    If I receive a call on appliances they must be in a garage, unfinished house area such as basement, or a damaged house such as water or fire damage for me to move them. Sometimes if it's worth it I will have them sign away my liability for damages to the house, but I am uninsured and wouldn't take any risks. as for loading I'm 16 and will load fridges stoves and other large items myself, tip onto tailgate after dollying them outside and push. I loaded 6 into my truck out of a fire damage a couple days back. It's all about strategy and you can move most any weight yourself. Dead lifting a fridge alone isn't smart, and careful if entering a house. No muddy shoes, dolly wheels could be dirty, fridge or stove bottom could track junk around, stairs are really bad if your alone. Cover appliances with packing blankets and duct tape it to avoid scratching up walls.
