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 Ashford, CT

In Ashford labor-only moving help typically costs between $315.96 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 $78.93 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.

The two workers wrapped our furniture exceptionally well. (Maybe too well) We ran out of wrapping supplies mid-way through the move. I had to buy more. Make sure you have plenty of supplies before your move:) They were great.

Great work!! Extremely efficient, experienced and professional. Came ahead of time, were very careful and fast throughout, even took care to keep my stuff carefully in the truck. Would hire them if I move again. If anyone is reading this review, I vouch for this team as I am very satisfied with their services.

Dave and Paul were exceptionally helpful in unloading my PODS into my home. They were careful to lay out moving blankets to protect the floors, doors, and islands in the house, and took their time to get everything unloaded safely and efficiently. They even managed to get an incredibly heavy treadmill base to the second floor! I would highly recommend using them again.

Joe was in contact with me several times before packing day. He and his crew arrived on time, evaluated the site and immediately got to work. They hustled the entire time! Joe, Michael and George are all courteous and professional and we only wished that we could hire them to unload our out of state delivery. Highly recommended and a great experience!
