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.

I had a wonderful experience with Them Movers! Vinnie, Billy, Bob and Jake were all super professional and hard working. They showed up on time and got the job done super quickly and efficiently. They were all extremely respectful of us and our home and belongings. The truck was packed perfectly and nothing moved while transporting our things. I couldn’t recommend them more!

Knowing your routes and traffic times can save you a lot of time and money. Outside of that, you need a really good driver, especially if you are moving with a big truck, the roads are narrow in the (especially in the city), parking is usually a challenge, but we are able to work around this by properly planning."
