|---|---|---|
| Dane, WI | $514.13 | $1,263.71 |

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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,467 verified customer reviews
The guys did a wonderful job loading our furniture. They were hard workers who were professional, polite, and knowledgeable about packing the truck. They went the extra mile to protect our belongings. I would very much recommend this company.
The team did a great job and communicated when the job was going to start a little late due to the previous job running over. They were courteous and friendly and handled the work as needed. They also communicated well when asking for where items should go. It rained on our moving day and they utilized the towels I laid out to protect our newly refinished floors.
They called to confirm the day before and told me when the guys would be there. The next day, the guys were there right on time and got to work immediately. They worked hard and did a great job. Would use them again.
Patrick and Jake were absolutely FANTASTIC. They were on time as per their phone call with the approximate time. They went right to work. Worked hard and diligently with complete care for our belongings to get everything packed in the POD we had ordered. If whomever we hire in Florida to unpack are half as good as these two were then they too will be excellent. Very HIGHLY recommended.
The movers were on time (actually, a bit early!), friendly, efficient and respectful. They did a great job making sure everything was loaded very well so that we had no accidents as we drove our rented moving van. Thanks!!
I used Freight Angels to unload a POD. They did a great job. (I wish I would have used them to load my PODs..). I have two more PODs being delived shortly and will use them again. They were timely, respectful and hardworking. I also would utilize them if I needed furniture moved for painting or remodeling. They were flexible and friendly. I appreciate supporting a local company.
Zach and crew showed up on time. They got right to work and were easy to communicate with. They helped load a truck and unload at next location. Overall great experience and wouldn’t hesitate to schedule again.
The two gentlemen who loaded my Large Pod did a great job, were friendly, and very speedy! They showed up on time, had a truck full of supplies (e.g., dollies), and were respectful about not tracking snow into my house. I would highly recommend to anyone moving in and around the Madison area.
They arrived on time and did their absolute best to fit everything in our truck. It was our fault that the truck was too small, they tried to Tetris everything they could. Eric was very friendly. His helper seemed not to be too thrilled to be along, but seemed to do an ok job. They were very efficient, time wise. Would recommend!
Eric and his assistant were prompt, professional & flexible. We had most of our boxes marked to be unloaded into our basement, but we found out at the last minute that it wouldn’t work out. Eric’s movers didn’t miss a beat. They were positive & upbeat the entire time they were unloading our truck in the horrible humidity. I would definitely recommend them for your next move!
We were so impressed by our movers!! We thought we had too much stuff to fit in our container, but they managed to fit everything! They were very professional and worked incredibly quickly. Highly recommend!!!
I cannot thank Al, Chris and Darius enough for their invaluable help with my move today. They busted their backs lifting all of our very heavy rustic furniture. They took the initiative to wrap and protect our belongings and packed our POD like an expert fitting and maneuvering things into the most efficient use of space. I can not recommend them highly enough. Thank you !
