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 Alton, IL

In Alton labor-only moving help typically costs between $264.62 and $693.69. 

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 $78.43 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.

Very professional and friendly. Can’t ask for a better service. They are very careful on stairs, turns etc so none of the furniture hit any walls around. Very knowledgable on how to fill containers to the maximum efficiency.

They did a fabulous job and kept working at a steady pace despite the horrible heat. They treated us as if we were friends that they were more than happy to help out. They packed the truck well and sturdy, did what they said they would do, and took great care of our items. We appreciate the work they did and the way they represented themselves. Thank you.

The three movers arrived on time. They were all polite, professional and took great care of my furniture. It was a hot day and they had to carry furniture up a steep driveway, then take most of it to the basement level. Very good attitudes about the challenges of the move? I would definitely use Hire a Helper again!
