The Cost of Hiring Movers in Putnam, IN

On average, it costs $356.41 to hire moving helpers in Putnam, IN. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Putnam, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $89.13.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Putnam, IN is $941.00, with an average hourly rate of $120.19. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

We were fortunate to have the same crew from Blessing Movers, plus another nice young man. Fast, efficient, professional… we will refer them and use again if needed.

Chris and his crew did an amazing job. They started as soon as they got here and unpacked our entire pod in less than 2 hours. It works extremely fast and efficient and put everything where it needed to go. Recommended!

They did a great job once they got here. In fairness our pod delivery forced a reschedule of our moving labor, and they had to squeeze us in between a couple of jobs. The Hire A Helper platform however, was a complete joke. I’d use the actual crew again, but I think we are done with HAH.

Robert and Edmund from H and G movers unloaded my POD for me. They did a great job- friendly, fast and efficient. They are coming back tomorrow to unload my second POD. They were very careful with all my things and moved everything with no problems. I am glad that they will be unloading my next POD for me. Highly recommend H and G, and especially Robert and Edmund.

I was so pleased with Robert and his guys. They were organized, efficient, quick, independent, and even personable. They took good care of my things and got them into my new place within the time allotted. If I have the need, I would be very pleased to use their services again.
