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 Allentown, PA

In Allentown labor-only moving help typically costs between $325.58 and $687.19. 

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 $88.37 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.

Although we switched the orifinal scheduling the week prior they arrived on time and worked very quickly and efficciently, maximizing the loading of the container. The 2 man team finished an hour early as we had already staged the load on the first floor (in the garage adjcent to the container). A job well done and worth the cost! Thanks to We Move for your help!

I’m unbelievably impressed by the work ethic, professionalism, and discipline of this Team. What’s more, they demonstrated strategic thinking and how they navigated, difficult and complex architectural obstacles to ensure that all my stuff stayed safe and where I wanted it. I’d give them 100 gold stars if I could. A two bedroom apartment accomplished in less than two hours.

Adelphia moving Profile Image

Adelphia was much better than movers in Florida. We were very disappointed with the movers in Florida on April 21st. Lamp shades, dresser, and bed frame were all damaged. One of the bolts for the headboard was cracked and Adelphia tried there best to re-assemble. Adelphia felt very bad and could not believe how careless the other movers were when they loaded the U-Pack cube.

George and Charles were a fantastic team - efficient but gentle with my moms belongings, went above and beyond in placing her furniture and even making sure her curio cabinet was secure from tipping on an uneven floor. They were fabulous with my elderly mother as well. Would not hesitate to work with them again or recommend them to others!
