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, itās considerably more affordable.

Elijah and Brian arrived early and had the right tools for the job. They were friendly, careful with our things and worked fast! I would definitely hire them again.
The movers sent by Harris movers were on time, friendly and worked non-stop and moved fast! They were very careful with every box and piece of furniture. I would highly recommend Harris movers and especially Justin and Jacob.
Team worked hard and did an excellent job. They were extremely helpful and professional and I enjoyed working with them even though it was a stressful day. They made that day work in the best way possible and I would recommend them in the future as they are the best people. Everything from scheduling to getting the job done was handled professionally and with my needs as a top priority.
Fast, efficient, friendly and did more than expected. I am having the same crew back when I move back in. On time, all the equipment required was available very fast. I tried to help and only got in the way. They had a method and I was not included. Extremely watchful of walls doors and floors. Martin Davis Valley Springs,CA
Antoine and George did an excellent job in moving us into PODS. They arrived on time and went right to work without any hesitation. They worked at a steady pace without taking any prolong breaks. They are extremely knowledgable in packing a POD to the max. They were very careful with our property. I will use them again to unload the PODS. I would highly recommend them.
Fantastic experience with Clifton and his crew. They were on time, the lead person James did a great job organizing the team to pack up the container . They entire team used care and acted with professionalism . They took extra precautions to protect our items and property. Do not hesitate to hire this team! We did to pack our last container we needed later that same week.
They were a little late, but they were coming all the way from Davis, and traffic on Saturdays is horrible going to the mountains. They were courteous and happy guys, worked hard and finished the work in half the time I thought it would take! I would definitely hire them again!
Well, they were late. BUT...totally made up for it like nobody's business! The best crew ever, seriously. Leon and Andre loaded 48 boxes and several pieces of furniture in no-time, and in such a way that we were left with more room than expected. Total pros, we wish we could have them on the other end of our trip as well. Thank you so much!
We did a super big long distance move and Conner took care of our 5th truck. We wish we had hired them for the other 4. They did a great job and were respectful of our belongings. We would definitely hire them again.
They were on time and took very good care of our items. We were moving from a 2 story house to a 1 story house. They went straight to work and didn’t waste time. I would use them again!!!
Needed workers to help me unload my storage pod at my new place (down a step hill). Pete's Moving sent two young men for 2 hours. They worked hard, carried some heavy stuff including a 6' x 6' bookcase. Nothing was broken and they finished in 1.75 hrs. Showed up on time and were very courteous. Would definitely use them again and recommend them.
One time (5 minutes early actually), they had the tools needed to unload PACKED truck, had great attitudes unloading in 90 degree plus heat. Tony was great to work with. Would certainty use him again if needed and/or recommend. Bil in Jackson CA..

One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
