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 Calumet City, IL

In Calumet City labor-only moving help typically costs between $314.16 and $779.28. 

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 $76.82 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.

Two young men went above and beyond working tirelessly. My only complaint is I was told by the person on the phone I would be able to add extra time if needed and although I needed more time the men were not available as they were scheduled for two more jobs today.

All 3 men were super efficient and worked very quickly. I got injured before we even started packing things and they assured me that I wouldn’t have to do anything and could just relax. I would definitely recommend these workers and would hire them again if needed!

Ganga Movers were fantastic from start to finish. They arrived exactly on schedule, kept us updated every step of the way, and unloaded our belongings with impressive speed and care. Even Chicago’s unpredictable traffic was not a problem; the crew adjusted on the fly and still finished ahead of time. Highly recommended for anyone seeking efficient, reliable movers in the city.

They did an amazing job. We had a 16 ft truck that was filled completely . Had a huge dresser and heavy couch tons of boxes and furniture. They arrived at 4:15 and finished at like 5:45. Took less than 2 hours to unpack. They were efficient, kind, and would definitely hire again!
