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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 327,697 verified customer reviews
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!
Wonderful experience! The movers were very efficient and did an amazing job moving heavy and bulky furniture through tight spaces. No dings in walls or damage to paint or furniture. Very hard working, professional, friendly. Will hire again the next time I need help. Highly recommend them
I had a 16 ft truck, and they had it loaded in hr! I had most of the stuff in a garage accessed by an alley, but there were items also still in the house.2
Timely and efficient! They were very nice gentleman and very respectable of my property. Movers placed items in the designated areas/ rooms when asked, which was a BIG help. Would definitely recommend!
Tyrone and his crew were the best! They were on time and worked efficiently. They were very careful when moving all of our furniture and our appliances. And they were very kind. 100% would recommend them to anyone that needs help with moving.
The two gentleman that came here were very polite very helpful and very fast.I would definitely recommend Logan Express to anyone I give them 10 out of 10
They were wonderful guys. Outstanding service, helpful, worked at whatever needed in the order that I had in mind as well as very experienced at packing the stuff that I had to get onto/into the truck. Great personalities and never ran out of energy. Got everything done in the time that I expected...all because of their help. Many thanx.
The guys were on time and very efficient. They were very helpful and swept the floor in a couple of rooms, so I didn't have to do it. They didn't mind my dog and even gave her a few pets and scratches.I would use them again.
I was very impressed with Dave and Melvin. They worked very hard and respected my property. The only reason I didn’t give five stars is that they said they would arrive at 8am sharp, but didn’t arrive until 8:50am. They were great about communicating their time delay, though, and because I was on a time schedule, they quickly made up for the delay.
The 2 guys we had did an excellent job. They unloaded an entire 26ft U-Haul in 2 hours. They put everything where we wanted and did a safe and quick job with moving lots of weird shaped and different weighted objects. The process of hiring them and paying is simple and easy. More than anything the highest praise is we will definitely use them again.
Zach and Bob were right on time and well prepared for the job. They worked hard, but carefully to load the truck. When we arrived at our destination their careful packing resulted in no damage to any of our things. Yes we would recommend Markowitz Relocation and use them again!
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.

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.
