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. 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 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 more affordable.

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

The Cost of Moving in Afton, TN

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.

|---|---|---|
| Afton, TN | $447.91 | $1,172.60 |
| Tennessee | $447.91 | $1,172.60 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |

The movers were helpful and prompt. They made short work of our Packrat and we’re mindful not to damage any of our items. If you need help unloading, these are the folks for you!
The men were very courteous and friendly. Took great care in moving everything into the house (hired for unloading only). Would highly recommend them!
They were on time, finished the job on time, were polite, courteous and respectful of our belongings. They worked hard and were efficient. I highly recommend Bennetts Moving Services.
This company is absolutely outstanding. They moved my Mom into her new home and could not have been better. She is thrilled. They were courteous in all aspects, extremely hard-working, accommodating to all of her needs, and kept her up to date promptly through all phases. We are their newest loyal clients!!!!
Indigo, Drake, Texas and Ahlo were a great team of movers. They worked to together tirelessly to empty our pods and were eager to ensure things were placed in the appropriate location. We truly appreciated their efforts to please and their great teamwork.
Had a issue with getting a truck that caused a huge delay in service, the first two guys who showed up appeared to be new and struggled a little bit. The last guy who showed up was professional and a hard worker. Overall would recommend
All three gentlemen were very productive and courteous. Steve, the team leader, did a great job organizing everything to maximize the space we have. Thank you!
They showed up a little bit early, (which was ideal, because rainy weather was on the way), and cheerfully hauled some pretty heavy stuff through muddy conditions. They fully unloaded my pod, (which I hadn’t thought possible), with zero damage to property. 10/10 would recommend and will probably retain their services in the future.
Highly recommend this young crew of fine movers. They showed up on time and were able to unload the POD quicker than what I expected, I was very pleased with their work ethic and would definitely seek them out again on another move.
Peyton and Zack were exceptional!!! They arrived on time and quickly loaded their truck and delivered our items to our new home. Both Gentlemen were very polite and friendly. I will certainly reach out to Bennetts Moving and Storage for future moving needs!
Great job. Arrived on time, very professional and courteous. Very careful with items unloaded and moved. Very careful with the house as well. Worked very efficiently and finished the job within the time planned. I would use Smart Move again!
Although they were late, it wasn't due to them. They got stuck in traffic and called me to tell me. They did a fantastic job loading my things into the PODS I ordered. I would definitely recommend this service for anyone who is looking for help with a move.

Why Book Your Afton Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Afton
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Afton.
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 $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Afton movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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 for 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.
