The Cost of Hiring Movers in Athens, TN
On average, it costs $466.61 to hire moving helpers in Athens, TN. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Athens, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $83.67.
These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.
The Cost of Full-Service Moving
The average cost of a local full-service move in Athens, TN is $778.52, with an average hourly rate of $111.37. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.
Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

Although Richard and Dan were late to the job, they worked hard and fast, but carefully. Both were pleasant to work with and did a great job. They moved two large bedroom suites with dressers and end tables, dining room table and chairs, five book cases and three couches and end tables in a little under two hours. Well worth the cost and their tips. Appreciate it guys. Barton Kaserman
Before I realized it was time there was a knock on the door with two serious ready to work workers. We had two flights of stairs and these two hard working men handled it like nothing. They finished in perfect time and we didnt have anything broken. I am writing this post move, nothing was broken. Thank you so much for all of your hard work.
They did a great job. They arrived on time, carefully unloaded my boxes and furniture and placed them where indicated. We could not have done it without them. Would definitely use Hire a Helper again! Thank you!
They arrived 30 mins. late, but the office did call in advance to make me aware. The 2 helpers were knowledgeable in bed frame assembly, which was very helpful. They were polite and respectful.
The whole crew was friendly and courteous, professional and worked SO hard. They even did a few extra things for us. We will definitely recommend them!
The guys were hard workers. They came on time and were pretty fast too. I had no damages to my property or on tge new home. I would for sure use the again.
Jeff and Obed did a wonderful job! Things were not quite as expected - 2 guys instead of 3 and a 16 foot truck instead of 26 - but they were prepared, worked hard and took good care of my belongings. They were careful not to scratch the floors or ding the walls. I would recommend them as well as use them again.
Our guys were great! A different company had packed our container and the items were jumbled and disorganized with some things broken. The Perkins team carefully unpacked the mess and were friendly, courteous and professional as we asked them to place our items in the house.
The guys arrived on time and were very helpful and very polite. They worked extremely hard and unloaded both pods in less than 2 hours. You should be proud to have employees that care about the people they are helping. Thanks again
