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.

Bob and his son, Isaac, did a great job unloading my Pod container. Friendly and hard working. Also, put together my bed frame with ease. I would highly recommend them and will request them again in the future.
Very helpful and did such a wonderful job even though the location (long steep driveway) made it difficult and it was raining. Nothing was a problem for them. Highly recommend
Two young men came on time and loading a lot of stuff from garage. Didn’t think they would fix everything in there but they did by organized every boxes and others to the pod. Well done and profession! Would recommend to anyone.??
They were a great team, father and son. They were on time , we’re very respectful and put everything where I wanted it. I would definitely use them again,
The guys arrived on time and ready to get to work. They worked steadily the entire time and were carry efficient. Great job! We would recommend them to anybody.
The 4 gentlemen who came to our home to help load the 2 moving PODs did an amazing job. They were polite and went above what we were expecting and made our moving less stressful. Thank you Hire a Helper team.
The guys were great to work with. Coordinated in advance to make sure we are prepared. They showed up on time, I got my container packed perfectly in two hours. Super respectful and speaking with me and handling my property. They were great and I would definitely recommend them!
Patrick and Justin were prompt, hardworking and excellent communicators over the course of a tricky moving job. They made a ridiculous amount of furniture and boxes fit in a 16' Pods container, and were super careful with our stuff.
The moving company was flexible and worked with me and my time frame when the storage unit I'd ordered didn't arrive on time. When the two movers arrived to do the job, they worked quickly to pack everything up, treating things carefully so that nothing would be damaged. They did a good job and were respectful. I would use them again!
Douglas and Joseph did an amazing job. They paid close attention to detail and moved everything carefully. They had no problem following our labeling system and organizing preferences. Would absolutely recommend and will hire them again in the future!
Great guys! Had two separate PODS to unload and they were awesome getting them both done without a hitch. Very professional and friendly, greatly appreciated.
I couldn't have had better help to get my moving stuff from house to container. They solved every problem getting my furniture through the narrow hallway and out of the too small doorway. They packed everything where I wanted it and got it done in 1/2 the time I expected. Thank you for having excellent workers!!
