The Cost of Hiring Movers in California, PA

On average, it costs $343.65 to hire moving helpers in California, PA. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across California, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $74.33.

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 California, PA is $601.00, with an average hourly rate of $154.12. 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.

The movers showed up early and got right to work. They 1st reviewed all items to be loaded, then loaded the items to most efficiently use all the space in the PODS. They were very polite and made sure all the items were protected. They were finished a little before the allotted time so I didn’t incur any additional labor costs. Very hard workers!

Josh and Dylan were respectful, hard working, careful with my belongings and helped keep boxes organized the way I asked them to from the start. The communication with their manager was stellar. Great job guys! Oh there was a third guy, Scott I think his name was, who came to help with an entertainment unit I call, “the beast”. Thanks guys!

Our moving men today were both excellent in taking care of our items & home as they packed our POD! We couldn’t have asked for better movers. Highly recommend Jeff (experienced lead with packing PODS and securing sections with rope) and his helper Lee (hard worker & took great care with our items). Thanks guys - 10/10!!
