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, itâs considerably more affordable.

My scheduled window for their arrival was between 8-9am, but they arrived at 11am. Other than that, the two men worked quite hard and were respectful of my property. I would use them again. P.
Hire a helper went out of their way to accommodate me when moving furniture into my house from a pod. I asked if they could fit me in earlier than my original appointment and they rescheduled so I had my furniture 3 days early. Their helpers were on time, worked efficiently and finished the job in the time contracted. I would hire them again.
Kevin and his assistant was nothing short of FABULOUS! They were right on time, they went above and beyond and completed their task and more in less than the allotted 2 hours. They treated our property like it was their own, such a great experience! I would highly recommend them!
The crew was on time and worked fast. We had several large antique pieces that they handled with great care. The crew was also very considerate! They masked-up for the job and took care to fold up moving blankets and gather debris/plastic wrap.
I was EXTREMELY satisfied with the work of Duck Solution Movers. The lead worker was extremely knowledgeable and a wizard at packing a truck. All of their workers were extremely polite and professional. I'll be giving them a call when I need to unpack my storage facilities and make the next part of my move. They were timely and worked hard until the tasks were done!!!
The guys were great. They were extremely helpful, helped assemble items that needed it. They were prompt and very efficient. Definitely would use them again.
These guys were great! They arrived on time which means a lot to me,they were careful with my stuff and they were really fast.The work they did in the time they did it could not be beat!I would recommend them to everyone.
Courteous, professional, efficient, and careful. What more could you want? Wayne and his crew did a great job. If you get the opportunity to use On The Go Moving, you should. You won't be sorry.
They were quick, efficient, effective, and professional. I can safely say that their work in loading and securing our moving truck is the reason our transition went so smoothly even after their work was done.
The team arrived on time and we’re very careful with our things. We were grateful as we’ve moved many times and have not always had a good experience. They were professional and respectful, I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.
Willie and Brandon did a great job! They were super efficient and careful with my things, and were very kind as well. They were on time and worked hard to ensure my things and my old place and new place were take. Care of with no damage. I would highly recommend them. Thank you, Affordable Moving Labor, Inc.
This crew unloaded our truck at the destination. They showed up early, were courteous, and worked hard until the job was done. They were good at communicating their ETA and were really friendly guys. We had had a bad experience with another company's crew that loaded our truck and were a bit nervous, but these guys were great!!
