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 Bethesda, MD

In Bethesda labor-only moving help typically costs between $286.40 and $376.90. 

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 $83.59 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.

Very fast, accommodating, respectful. If I’d had a bigger truck, they’ve been done in less than two hours. However, we had to wait for my daughter to arrive with a trailer on the back of her car. And they were still done within the two hour time period. Highly recommend.

I had a great experience with DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning. The crew showed up right on time, came ready to go, and got straight to work. It was really nice to see a father-son team—there was a great dynamic between them, and you could tell they take pride in their work. They were super careful with my stuff and really respectful of the space. I’d definitely hire them again!

Mike and Drew were solid. They earned my trust after I saw them move the first couple of heavy items down multiple flights of stairs. More stuff went into my container than I expected.

Bill and Yak were friendly and worked hard, carrying boxes and furniture up a flight of stairs efficiently and carefully. They were friendly and fast. They arrived late because their previous job took much longer than scheduled, but Moving With Pride called me in advance to give me a new ETA. They made my move smooth and stress-free and I'd use them again.

Loved my guys who unloaded my Pod Friday. They were very good at placing everything in each room where it belonged. They were very respectful as they worked. I enjoyed having them in my new home. They were very careful not to damage anything as they carried items n boxes into the condo. Great job! Thank you.

Movers were incredible. For an 8-9am arrival, one showed up a little past 8am and the second showed up around 8:30am. They were kind, courteous, and careful with my items. They worked incredibly hard in the DC heat/humidity. Thank you for your hard work!
