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. 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 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 more affordable.

The Cost of Moving in Carbondale, KS

In Carbondale labor-only moving help typically costs between $302.02 and $643.86. 

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 $83.10 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Carbondale is what we’re here for.

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.

They did a great job. They were very friendly and worked quickly. I wish I had more things for them to move because they were so efficient, what I thought we be at least 2 hours took just over an hour.

They called ahead to let me know they were on the way, were punctual, well -prepared, and extremely nice. The house is 100 years old with narrow halls & lots of doors, & they took great care to measure everything first. The movers worked quickly and had my storage container emptied in less than an hour. I will absolutely use them again!

These men did an OUTSTANDING job. I had several very large ceramic molds, and not one mold was broken!!!! I cant say enough great things about Spring Town Movers. If you need to hire professional movers, then your first choice should be Spring Town Movers.I would rate them 10 STARS, but this site only allows up to 5 STARS. Thanks Guys, I'll be calling you for my next move. Jean

MO Pack n Move was awesome. Miranda and crew arrived on time with all the equipment they needed. They took care to protect my belongings better than I had. They were efficient and well-organized. I am grateful to MO Pack n Move for making my day so much less stressful. If/when the time comes, I will hire them again.

I would absolutely recommend World Class Movers LLC. Excellent customer service and great communication for schedule coordination. They took great care of my belongings and packed the truck wisely, ensuring everything was secure.

The two young men that came to our house were great (forgot their names). They kept moving the entire time & even finished early, no damage to furniture or walls. This was well worth the cost vs. trying to do it ourselves!

I was concerned because we had a very tight time window. I had been warned they might be a bit late, and they were. But the three young men who did our move kept us informed about their whereabouts and their timeframe. But once they arrived, they were quick, efficient and got the job done in the time frame that we needed it to be done. I would definitely use them again.
