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, itās considerably more affordable.

We had a wonderful experience with Alliance Movers!!! The owner communicated with us regarding start time and they were very prompt! The crew was fantastic!! They unloaded our POD and set up all our furniture in a timely fashion. Could not have been happier!!
I had a POD to load. The movers showed up on time and finished in the allotted window. Their one oversight, partly my fault, was taken care of quickly. They worked hard to ensure everything was packed well and worked hard to make sure all my items were packed and worked hard to ensure I got everything in. I would definitely use them again.
I experience issues with opening both of my storage containers prior to the team unloading. Thankfully I had a friend at my residence whom assisted me to get it open and get this job completed. The team was hesitant to assist me and I would have had to reschedule my upload once again had I not made every attempt to open it personally. Other than that they did everything I asked them to do.
They were so helpful and kind and understanding. I had to reschedule many times and they were very accommodating and flexible. They were very efficient and helpful. They organized all the boxes and were very careful. I would highly recommend using them!
The gentlemen from AJ Moving were great. They arrived on time, they started working as soon as they got to our home. They worked very hard and were very cautious with all of our belongings. I would definitely recommend them to anyone needing help loading their furniture in PODS.
Dante and Billy were fantastic awesome. They were on time and got right to work. Also safe with all of our valuables! Thanks so much for the handiwork. CG
These guys are GREAT!!! On time, friendly, hard working. They unloaded our truck and trailer for us. We were taking some stuff to a storage unit and they came by there after they did another job and helped us for a bit. It was a very hot, humid day, but they did their job with excellence. We would definitely use Lawrence Family Movers again!!!????
These guys did a phenomenal job. They were so helpful, professional and easy to work with. They were exceptionally careful to not damage our furnishings or house. I would highly recommend them and will use them again if we ever move!
The men were on time and efficiently moved the entire container in about 1 hr. They were respectful of the property and worked hard to make sure the job was done right. I would definitely use them again.
They were on time and prepared to start upon arrival. They were easy to work with and moved and loaded our heavy furniture with outstanding efficiency. They were always respectful of the things they moved and ensured there was no damage to the walls or woodwork. I would definitely use them again and I would recommend their services to others.
They were very cooperative. They were on time. They adjusted to an unexpected flight of stairs. The were prepared and I would definitely use them again.
I hired 4 men to move furniture and housing items into a 3 story townhome. Some of the furniture items were very heavy and bulky. The guys did great!! No complaints, they worked hard and did very little wall damage to our very narrow steps. The service cost was low and I will rehire if and when needed again.
