Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

The Cost of Moving in Portsmouth City, VA
In Portsmouth City labor-only moving help typically costs between $346.32 and $821.32.
If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $88.47 an hour.
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 convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

Ryan and Schaefer were fantastic movers. Helped us with a smile even though we had a lot going on, and a lot of coming and going! A complicated day was made so much easier by their hard work, timeliness, and the careful way they moved all of our items. Highly recommend and would use them again!
We requested help to unload 2 16-foot PODS containers on 2 separate days. The same 2 workers arrived on time. They understood and were prepared for the job. They worked hard for 2 hours or less and followed instructions to place boxes and furniture as directed. I would definitely use them again.
These guys are amazing! What took us five hours to load up took them 50 minutes to unload and put in all the proper rooms. They were fun and had a good sense of humor and made the whole process enjoyable even though it’s hot outside moving is never fun. I would use these guys in a heartbeat if I needed the help again.
Richard and Richard arrived 15 minutes early and jumped right in. Great guys, great workers. They zipped through the job in no time and took great care with all items. I recommend them highly.
Such a great experience, they text me to let me know when they were on their way. They listened to what I wanted done and immediately got to work. I definitely would recommend.
These guys did an awesome job. They were flexible and willing to work with us when we ran into some delays. During the actual move they professional and courteous. Would highly recommend these guys to anyone.
The team were very professional nice clean nice to talk to and work the whole time. I would recommend them to anyone and I will definitely use them again. I was very satisfied and thank you.
The guys knocked it out and did a great job. I moved with a pod and it was not right in front of the driveway. They worked quickly and efficiently. I would highly recommend them.
We hired Bust-A-Move to help with our recent move and they were wonderful! Very professional, took care to wrap and protect our furniture to pack in the pod, and were extremely friendly. I highly recommend Johnny and his staff for anyone looking for a credible and efficient mover.
Elvis and the crew were so quick, and respectful, they made sure everything went where it needed to go. They worked so hard, even with the millions of books they had to carry in! I will definitely go with them again!
Had a wonderful experience with this moving company. They did an excellent job loading the POD and made sure that nothing would shift in transit. They were very polite and respectful and asked questions throughout the process.
I have moved several time in my life. Never have I ever meet a more diligent, dedicated, and committed group of men. Thank you very much Kevin, big country, and Darius!
