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 335,340 verified customer reviews
The team was friendly and worked quickly to unload the truck withing the time that we had contracted. They were very helpful and flexible to moving things around and putting some things back into the truck that did not fit in the apartment. They handled our furniture and belongs with care. I would highly recommend them.
Solomon and Jefferson did an amazing job packing my belongings. They worked fast and great with each other. They arrived on time and finished before the scheduled time.
The guys did a fantastic job, worked hard, and were very careful with our stuff. Despite some minor confusion with scheduling the appointments between Illinois and Indiana time zones, I would definitely use them again.
The helpers arrived at the scheduled time with a can-do attitude and completed the job in 1.5 hours. I appreciated that the more experienced helper was advising the less experienced helper on proper lifting techniques to prevent injury. They were respectful of my furniture and let me direct the loading process. I would hire them again.
They called and said they would be a little late due to the road conditions. That was nice. Also called to check the address before they pulled into the driveway. They worked very hard, but a little too fast. Several boxes were misplaced. But, I'm sure some of that was our fault! I would use them again - but, hopefully, this is our last move:-)
They were terrific! We were caught in traffic and arrived 1 1/2 hours late. They waited for us and were very courteous when we arrived. They worked very hard and did a wonderful job unloading our truck. Highly recommend!
The men were called to come a bit later by 15 minutes and they did. They were the BEST! Helpful, listened and knew what they were doing. I highly recommend this company.
Two Brothers were on time and even alerted me via text to my phone what their ETA was & they nailed it. They worked very hard considering that the packers I had did such a terrible job and they had to make up for it just by packing several items over. They always alerted me when they were taking a break. I would definitely use them again!
Very careful movers. Strong and efficient. Personally I have been a mover for over 45 years. It was absolutely wonderful having Anthony and Donny on my team today. Highly recommend them for furniture moving needs. Thank you gentlemen. Best of the best to y'all. Scott W. Trotter Sr. GM Household Services Unlimited Carson City Nevada
The young men were on time and ready to work. After an overview of the house they moved everything into the rooms as designated. They handled all goods with care and would not hesitate to use them again.
They were great! Ran a little late but they called beforehand to let me know. The guys were friendly and efficient - got everything loaded up in about an hour even in the heat. Highly recommend!
Best advice for anyone hiring help to move is to set your help up for success. Be aware that only you know what is going on. And what goes where. Either plan ahead or pay for your help to ponder. Two Bros. showed up promptly and began working immediately. We scheduled them for 2 hours and they got the job done under time. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
