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 Carnation, WA

In Carnation labor-only moving help typically costs between $363.35 and $757.32. 

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 $90.65 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.

They did a very good job at packing the pod and wrapping the furniture. Once they arrived they went straight to work. Very professional . I will say that I was their first appointment of the day and they were over an hour late which put me over an hour late to work.

Great team. We had them around for 3 hours and they loaded both of our PODs up to the brim, maximizing every inch of both of them to get our belongings in. They were quick and efficient and we really appreciated their help. Would use them again if we were staying around this area.

Wonderful, professional. Our items were unloaded with care, particularly the fragile ones that either shifted during the journey or hadn't been stacked correctly. They worked very well together ensuring that every furniture "leg" was extricated from the pod undamaged. Great communication before the job as well. We would highly recommend Armstrong Moving & Labor.
