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 Arlington, MA

In Arlington labor-only moving help typically costs between $408.19 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 $100.30 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.

I hired two guys for two hours to more stuff between two houses next door to each other. I had a list that should have taken 2 days to finish. Greg and Alan arrived right on time and got to work. Two hours later the list was completed. Loyal Movers is a professional and hard working company. I will ask for them the next time. Thanks again.

Terrell and his team were absolutely amazing. Extremely fast and efficient, and handled all of my belongings with care . They also showed up as a team of 3 though I paid for 2 helpers, and were able to move even quicker due to this. It was very clear that they are experienced movers. I would definitely hire First Class Movers again- they lived up to the name!

Joe and Stephen arrived as scheduled and unpacked my container very efficiently. They had to handle things delicately, too, as the movers I hired at the loading stage didn’t do a great job of packing so things shifted a lot during its travel across country. But they made sure no additional damage was done. They were extremely personable and I’d hire them again.

Real Advice from Arlington Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Arlington. (They’re really nice!)

"The best advice for moving in the New England area is to measure both the furniture and the paths/locations where items will be going. Many of the old houses in the region have tight areas that make moving difficult, or impossible. It is best to know if an item will fit beforehand to minimize wasted time. "
