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. 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 less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Alexandria City, VA

In Alexandria City labor-only moving help typically costs between $316.72 and $821.32. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $75.39 an hour.

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.

These guys went above and beyond. Very quick, effective, and efficient. I booked them last minute and was stressing about the items in our truck that was sitting there, but they arrived and more than delivered. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Kendall and David were great. I scheduled two hours as I live in a split level with boxes and furniture on each floor. They were thorough and skilled, and got everything in the truck within an hour (which was a feat considering that some of my furniture was in a difficult to access place). Highly recommend them! Efficient, on time and communicative.

BRAINS AND MUSCLE!!! The gentlemen that helped us pack and move were extremely skilled at what they do. We wouldn’t have been able to fit our belongings in a pod without them. And what they did in 8 hours would’ve taken us a month.

Bill and Yak were friendly and worked hard, carrying boxes and furniture up a flight of stairs efficiently and carefully. They were friendly and fast. They arrived late because their previous job took much longer than scheduled, but Moving With Pride called me in advance to give me a new ETA. They made my move smooth and stress-free and I'd use them again.
