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, it's considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 337,014 verified customer reviews
Our moving experience with white gloves was amazing. They were on time and very efficient. In addition our furniture was well taken care of. We would definitely call them again.
WB movers were very professional. They should up right on time and were ready to work. I moved to a third floor apartment and they didn't complain about moving up the heavy furniture. They were very respectful with my things. I highly recommend them and would use them again!
They were on time and waited even though I got delayed with the truck; unloaded everything quickly and put it where I needed it. They were careful with the objects we told them were fragile and were focused on getting me moved in. All in all a great experience.
Kevin and his crew did a great job moving our items and didn't break a thing! There were willing to work with us in how we wanted the truck emptied and arranged all of it very neatly. Hat's off to these guy's!
The crew was prepared and worked hard to unload our 2 freight trailers. They were respectful of our property and goods. They completed the job, even though it rained extremely hard for 45 minutes toward the end of their time. They stayed an hour over to make sure the job was completed. We would use them again!
Christopher and his team did an amazing job. Took special care not to damage the furniture or the house. They were able to fit much more furniture in the U-Haul than I would have thought. Great company and I will use them again. Super nice and pleasant men
My son needed assistance in removing his heavy furniture from his third floor apartment in Lynchburg. The men did an excellent job protecting the furniture and packing the U-Haul. They accomplished the task in the allotted time frame. Thanks for the great help!
They were helpful and had a great additude.i had a problem during their time with us and they did their best by recommending a cost saving alternative and then doing their best to make it all work out.
I was skeptical of all of the glowing reviews online. I mean, no one is that good. But every word was true. The two loaders were a few minutes early, polite, efficient, and while three observers were certain that everything was not going to fit, it all fit with inches to spare. No damage to anything upon unloading. I would highly recommend Carter Moving for loading a truck for a move.
If I could add another star/2 to that, I would. This crew was amazing, worked nonstop to help us as much as possible. They were: professional, friendly, careful with my antiques??, respectful. Everything you could ask for and well worth it.
The 2 movers that showed up were great did a great job this service site however is a ****ing joke wouldnt recommend hire a helper at all I had to call the movers myself to see if they were coming should have just booked them direct
Nick and Darius came completely prepared and jumped right into work. They never really let up until I persuaded them to take a 5 minute water break. Very personable as well. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

All Buena Vista City movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
