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.

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 Carrboro, NC

In Carrboro labor-only moving help typically costs between $369.78 and $568.71. 

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 $82.19 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.

The guys did an excellent job of unpacking the moving truck. They were very respectful of our property and didn’t complain with the many trips up and down the stairs. This was very helpful to help make a less stressful move. Highly recommend!

Wow, what can I say Marc and Mark were fantastic. They showed up on time and were so efficient. All of our heavy items were placed where they needed to be. They had me walk them through the house and then went to work. They put the bed together and situated all the furniture right where I asked. HIGHLY recommend 10/10.

We were extremely happy with the 2 gentemen who came to assist us. They were on time, extremely polite, and paid extra attention to delicate/fragile items so that they were not damaged during the drive. We were impressed by how quickly and diligently they worked, even with how unbearably hot it was out! We would absolutely hire them again, and recommend them to anyone looking for help.
