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.

Jeffrey and Isaac were awesome! They were very professional, polite and efficient. They were on time and willing to help for however long we needed them. They were prepared and careful with our items and our house. They moved the items quickly and helped tremendously with organizing our moving pods. They were very accommodating and helped to lessen the stress we had from moving. Thank you so much! We would definitely recommend them!
My movers from All Aboard Moverz arrived on time and were ready to pack our containers for a long-haul move. I was originally thinking two containers wouldn't be enough space for everything we needed to load, but the crew that arrived included the literal "Tetris King"! They ensured that everything going into the container was properly wrapped and securely loaded before they left and worked very hard for the full timeslot. I would recommend them for anyone looking to get their money's worth for filling a moving truck or container!
PS: Buy tape, moving blankets, straps, and moving wrap to secure all of your belongings before the movers arrive!
I have no problem with the gentlemen who did the moving. They worked hard and were exceptionally well-mannered and polite. My problem was with the additional charge that did not show up on the website. It arrived in very tiny print in an email that I didn't have time to read. My bad, but it still makes me angry.
Highly recommend them! Communicated with me every step of the way and extremely professional. Brought everything they needed to get the job done and wasted zero time getting my POD loaded up. They packed the POD in a way that made sense and maximized space.
Jay and Mari, these two gentlemen were absolutely wonderful. So cooperative, friendly, hard working and respectful. I would highly recommend them and would definitely hire them again.
I’ll never use another moving company in the area, and I’ll never move again without MBK. These guys arrived at the beginning of their arrival window, worked quickly, calmly and professionally, and couldn’t have been nicer. They got my entire apartment loaded in no time and unloaded everything even quicker, always checking with me if they weren’t sure where something went. They put furniture together, moved things around when I asked them to, and did it all while joking around with me with a smile on their faces. I wish I had their energy! The experience was perfect and made me feel so much less overwhelmed about everything. This was some of the best money I’ve ever spent and I couldn’t possibly rate them higher. Perfect! Thanks so much, Anthony!
OMG I’m so grateful for these guys.
The moving labor help I originally hired from u-haul didn’t show, didn’t call, wouldn’t answer my texts or calls - and I’m disabled and don’t have a lot of energy…so I found these guys on hire a helper and as soon as I put in the request they called me immediately and when they showed up they were the nicest young men I’ve met in quite some time.
They did a great job and very quickly as well.
Thank you for saving me today!
I still have a lot to do after they leave and I’m going to be late arriving to my new place, but they really helped me. I don’t know what I would have done had they not come. Thank you!!!
The guys were extremely friendly. They did an amazing job. They even brought stuff out of the rooms so we could get our other furniture in the bedroom. I highly recommend these young men, couldn't be happier with the services they provided.
we had to workers and they were great could not have asked for 2 better workers they were non stop for the 2 hours we had them they were very careful with our furniture and when done with the furniture they pitched in and moved boxes for us put boxes up in the attic out of this move from Florida to Maryland they were the were the most helpful
Good communication and timely response to my text giving them instructions on where to park. Arrived on time and got the job done efficiently and carefully. We’d recommend using their services!
They showed up on time and unloaded the truck in the allotted amount of time. They were prepared and worked hard. However, I found one of the drawers was broken on the dresser after the crew left. They tried to put the drawers in the wrong slots and broke the ball bearing track. If not for the broken drawer they did not tell me about I would have recommended them.
Crew of three - respectful of our property, listened to specific instructions, packed our house efficiently for moving. Excellent service received. Highly recommend
If you’re interested in using street parking, please note you may need a permit for parking PODS or moving trucks on particular streets or in driveways. Penske and U-Haul truck rentals are the two suppliers in our area with the biggest supply of trucks readily available.

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All Abingdon 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 mover’s 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 have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
