What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.

These 2 guys did an amazing job. I had a large truck full of fragile boxes, etc. and they unloaded it quickly and carefully and put everything exactly where I labeled it. I would definitely use them again! This company was very good about checking in to be sure they were there on time as I had them on hold until the truck arrived. Great customer service.
These guys had a hard time finding my place, and they didn't give up. My stuff had shifted in the containers and they worked with my son to get it open and unloaded. I was very happy with Brandon and his crew.
Arrived in the time frame they said they would, immediately began working, were quick and careful with furniture and boxed items.All said and done, the workers were courteous and efficient.
These guys were absolutely wonderful. They actually got our entire house loaded in the truck. There was no shifting of the load. My wife actually said the guys must have played Tetris the way they placed every piece in just the right spot. We had to moved into storage units and will be moving back into a house later this month. We will definitely ask for these guys again.
These people were FANTASTIC!! They were on time. They were courteous and respectful. They took great care with my belongings. I cannot say enough nice things about them. I would and will use them again in the future.
Our arrival window was 1-2. They arrived about 2:15 but called with a heads up twice so we appreciated that update on their progress. We hired 2 guys, they brought 3 and got it done faster than we anticipated! It was a hot day in a Texas but the guys worked quickly and efficiently and packed our truck with precision and obvious experience. They were polite and hardworking. Would use them again!
This crew was the BEST EVER! They were late due to no fault of their own....the previous client kept them 6 HOURS over. Regardless of their exhaustion, they were up-beat, efficient, respectful (very) and thorough. I would recommend this firm and especially MY crew to anyone and everyone......Lee Parker
Francisco and Samuel were great help and even helped clean my stuff off moving into my new trailer would highly recommend inandoutnodoubt llc best thing since sliced bread lol
Andy and his team were professional and patient as we experienced several delays on moving day. They had a great attitude, worked quickly, and handled my items with care. I would definitely use them again!
Rene and Mike were awesome! They came ready to work, took great care of my belongings and were very polite and professional. I plan to use them again.
Two of the nicest guys! They were fast, efficient, careful with all my belongings! They truly made my moving experience an easy one! On time and a pleasure to work with! They get a 5 star rating from me!
Very friendly and professional team. Matt was especially Considerate with ensuring none of my items were damaged and with hygiene. It was very hot, and when he became sweaty, he would change shirts so that he would not leave his sweat on my items. Very customer oriented, highly recommend!!
