How HireAHelper’s Labor-Only Option Works

HireAHelper’s labor-only service gives you complete control of your move while providing the muscle you need to make moving day a breeze. Moving down the road? Your movers can help you load up the rental truck. Moving across the country? Get help loading your PODS in San Antonio and help unloading in your new time zone.

Pro tip: Book ahead as far as possible to get the best rates!

Tip 1: Plan Ahead for Moving Truck Parking

Moving trucks take up a lot of space and often require special permission to park on public streets or outside certain properties — especially Downtown or in busy areas. Do you have residential parking restrictions in your new neighborhood? You might need a permit or other permission from your homeowner's association to have a moving truck parked out front, even if it's just for loading and unloading.

Bonus Tip: Check garbage collection times to ensure a garbage truck doesn't end up in your reserved spot!

Tip 2: Dodge San Antonio's Oppressive Summertime Heat

Let's face it — San Antonio summers are hot and humid. Moving is stressful enough without lugging furniture around in the heat. If possible, book your move during the spring, fall, or winter. But if a summer move is unavoidable, load and unload the truck in the early morning or evening when it's coolest.

Bonus Tip: Stay ahead of the heat! Check the forecast and keep plenty of water on hand.

Tip 3: Plan Your Route to Avoid San Antonio Traffic

No one wants to sit in traffic for hours — especially on moving day. Plan your route ahead of time to dodge congestion and avoid some of the worst traffic in Texas

Notorious hotspots to steer clear of include:

  • Loop 1604 between U.S. 281 North and I-10 East
  • Loop 410 from U.S. 281 and I-10
  • U.S. 87
  • U.S. 281 between Loop 1604 and Stone Oak Parkway.
Bonus Tip: Check for street closures and stay up-to-date with the latest traffic info from the Texas Department of Transportation.
