What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, 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 moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, itâs considerably more affordable.

Our move was complicated because of our pod having issues, but the crew was so flexible and helpful. On the day when we finally got our stuff moving, the guys got everything set up within the time frame and nothing was damaged. Highly recommend.
I Have used the service 2 times in the last week, all crew are great! Fast service at a great cost! I recommend this company to everyone. Don’t hurt yourself, let the guys do all of your moving needs. I dont know all the guys names, or i would be putting them here, Paul, Austin and D.J were the first guys, and I do not have the second two names, but everyone was great!
These guys were great! They are very professional and courteous. They worked fast and hard but knew when to take their time moving the breakable and heavy items. I was very happy with them and reccommend them to anyone who needs help loading/unloaded a truck. I would use them again in a heartbeat!
Gave these guys the game plan. They moved everything quickly and safely. Had a couple of last second changes and they adapted and overcame. They also did quicker then expected. Micheal and his team are highly recommended.
This was our 1st time hire professional people helped us to move. It’s a good experience! This is a value 2 people and a truck service, and they provided blankets and plastic wraps to protect our furniture . It’s beyond the hours I reserved but they were responsible to extending the service until done. Next time moving we’ll pick Kangaroo movers again!
The helpers were professional, courteous, and knocked out the job in short order. Fantastic work, even with the heavy piano. Great work and highly recommended.
Our helpers were absolutely fantastic! This has been the best experience with moving we have ever had thanks to the great service we have received through all aspects of the process. Special thanks to our movers who took the time to secure all our items perfectly both into our moving truck and the again into our POD container. Great service all around- will be using again in the future!
Arrived on time. Had texted me to let me know they would be there at that time. Got right to work and was careful and efficient. Would recommend them highly.
James and his crew were incredible! They worked with great efficiency, made excellent use of space, and managed to move everything without a single scuff or dent or any hint of damage to the home. James had a vision from the very start and led his crew with ease, organization, and speed. Can’t recommend them enough!
They did a great job…Although, there was a schedule mixup on 4/30/22–They ended up coming as re-scheduled on 5-1-22…Nice, pleasant guys…They unloaded our heaviest container…I would recommend them Cari Jones
Outstanding. James snd the crew worked hard, smart, and efficiently. Absolutely the best. Professional and polite and very respectful of us and our furniture. I definitely recommend James and his team. Thank you. Our move was a great experience.
Michael, Mike and Jason were absolutely fabulous, they were professional, handled our furniture with care and were beasts going up and down my terrible 3 flights of stairs. I'd rate them higher if I could!

One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
