HireAHelper's Best Price Guarantee Find a lower price for the same move? We'll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more. |
The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service
Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you'd pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenientābut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Oakland, KY | $474.00 | $1,199.20 |
| Kentucky | $474.00 | $1,199.20 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $474.00 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Oakland, KY, with an average hourly rate of $85.01. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $347.10 | 2 movers | 2.1 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $399.53 | 2 movers | 2.3 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $466.28 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $458.47 | 3 movers | 2.5 hours |

| 5 Bedroom House | $757.28 | 4 movers | 3.8 hours |
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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

They helped move a very heavy item which would still be sitting in my garage. Thanks Hometowne Movers! Timely, Efficient, Hardworking, and I would use them again.
These guys were excellent workers. They were fast, friendly and went above and beyond. We would have never made it without them. If you're looking for movers, trust this company. You'll not be disapointed.
I was so impressed by this team I rushed to leave a google review as soon as they finished. Absolutely will use them again and would recommend anyone to use their services!
Marcus and his crew were great. Communication with Aloo Moving was frequent and informative. It was easy to work with them on rescheduling their arrival. They unpacked a 22 foot truck quickly taking care of our possessions. They worked well together in accomplishing their job. I would recommend Aloo Moving for your next moving needs. Thanks guys!
Excellent movers! Very timely, very communicative. Super professional: they went above and beyond. The 16’ Pod took about 45 minutes total from arrival to departure. I selected them and I live out of state. Bradley and TJ are the best - do not hesitate to select them for your move.
They were very polite and extremely hard workers. They looked out for our stuff and did a very good job unloading the items. I would highly recommend these gentlemen
Three very nice & respectful young men who served in the military. ?? hiring military men! They arrived early, worked hard, and were efficient. I’d recommend them for sure!
Wonderful job! So easy to book. They showed up on time and finished early. They had to take things apart and unhook water lines. Refrigerator had to go downstairs. The guys were fast and friendly. I am truly amazed this worked so well.
This company is good. Brandon kept me up to date, they arrived on time and went to work immediately. They reminded me I did not need to help because that was why I was paying them. They were fast and effecient. I am very eased with their work. They were very careful with our things. I would recommend this company to anyone.
Showed up early and got straight to work. Had the entire 26ft uhaul unloaded in hour and half. Did a great job will definitely use them on the next move.
This was the third time hiring smart move guys. They worked efficiently and timely. All the guys were great except the lead guy. He wasn't friendly and grumbled a lot. We tipped them well $30 for each guy and $60 for leas guy, for 1 1/2 hours work. There were three heavy pieces.
These guys had my truck loaded in no time and nothing shifted during my 600 mile drive! They showed up on time, were courteous and even picked up a bolt lock for me when I realized I'd forgotten to buy one. I recommend this company and will use them myself if needed in the future.

All Oakland 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 SmartProtectionā¢āan 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 moverās 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 haveāmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it.
