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, itâs considerably more affordable.

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!
Darius and team were on time and very efficient. They did a great job and got everything they could in the two pods we had. I would hire this team again and highly recommend them.
David and his partner were EXCELLENT.......efficient, hard working, polite, knew how to pack a U-Haul, etc.! I would highly recommend this crew (again).
These 2 guys did an awesome job! We had our doubts that everything would fit in the Pod, but they worked their magic. Very friendly and careful with our stuff.
When your looking for a company to help you with a move this is the only one for us. We have used "Freight Angels two times and they have worked harder and quickly then any company we have used to move with. USE THIS COMPANY YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED.
The workers were awesome. I have no clue how they managed to fit so much in one truck. I highly recommend them. They made it so my mistake (got a truck that was too small) didn't cause me to have to make another 5 hour round trip.
There was a slight delay in arrival , but we were promptly informed of this issue. Workers, Andrew and Billy, quickly and efficiently accomplished the task at hand (unloading a POD). I would recommend Hire a Helper to my friends.
Great Job!!! The two that helped us unload our pod were amazing!!!! They we so cautious not to damaged our belongings and our brand new home. They were amazing and I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much for all your help and helping us through this stressful time of moving. Laurie & Brian
Amazing movers!! Guys came out promptly, helped us unload our truck on a same-day notice after our original moving company failed to show up. They were professional, reliable, and experienced. Cannot recommend this moving group enough!! Thank youuuuu!!
Frankie and Steve did a very good job. Did exactly what I asked them to do and were easy to work with. They showed up 15 minutes early and even called before they were headed to my house. They did a good job handling my property and I would definitely use them again.
All four movers arrived promptly. They were all very professional, worked hard, carefully wrapped and securely loaded the furniture. All pieces arrived at the destination in great condition and secure in the position loaded. The movers were knowledgeable. Yes, I would definitely use them again.
Originally got 2 for the job but I decided to get 2 more guys to help to take less time unloading to my new place. Communication with hire a helper and innovative moving is really easy and prompt. They are able to accommodate my request promptly and they got the job done in less time! Thank you guys!

All Rock City movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
