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.

The team was prompt, prepared, and hard-working. They carefully wrapped up the items that needed it, and they efficiently packed the space in the moving van. We would use them again.
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!
These guys were fantastic. Anthony was super patient with us as we were moving from another state and needed some flexibility with arrival time. They were on time, worked hard. They were careful, and they got the job done very well. They were also friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
The crew turned up on time and set to. Everything survived the 3000 mile journey so I guess we had packed well but the guys must have also loaded it very well. It was a hassle free job. Thank you!
So refreshing to have a company that works very hard, efficiently and skillfully. They took the time to protect all our belongings. They were very friendly and courteous. I would strongly recommend them, and would definitely hire them again. They packed the truck very efficiently making the best use of space, getting all our belongings in with space to spare.
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!
The guys who came to help were great. They were friendly, professional and hard working. Because they had to use an elevator their progress was slowed down (as they saw it). Instead of milking the extra time they did nothing but apologize and work harder. This was the first time I had ever hired some extra help for moving and I would not hesitate to do it again through this company.
The guys were great and the communication was great up until the point that two weeks later all of a sudden I was getting charged double and it is not taken care of as of yet. No calls back , no emails back! No way would I recommend this company when they took almost three hundred dollars I didn't have two weeks after the job was done. Not good business as far as I'm concerned.
Can't sing the praises for the two workers that came to help unload a 24-foot truck into storage high enough! They were superior to my Dolly.com two workers that started on the other end. PLUS they were flexible; kept them informed of arrival time (long drive) and they kept ME informed too. Just great! Thanks so much, guys. I would happily use them again, and just may; not done moving yet.
Anthony was excellent. He contacted me to say he could do the job early and his work was efficient. The work was scheduled for 4 hours and it was completed in 3.
They were there on time and ready to work and were well prepared. They worked hard and steady and were very careful of my things. I would definitely hire them again and would refer them to other people. George Panker
I hired two men to help interstate movers with the unloading of my items. The men were on time, ready to help and worked continually until the load was unloaded. They worked extremely well with the movers, were very careful with the furniture and boxes, and were very professional, and nice to work with. Highly recommended.
