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 Carteret, NJ

In Carteret labor-only moving help typically costs between $330.14 and $687.19. 

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 $96.76 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.

Daniel and his crew showed up when they said they would, which is a great way to start. They were extremely efficient and careful in moving our furniture out of our home and into the POD. Daniel was like a master Tetris player making sure everything fit. Highly recommend!

The movers were great, on time and professional! My issue is with Moving Staffers!!! They estimate the fee for the moving time of job, ex: 2 guys 2 hours, if it goes over the time it's $129 per hour, BUT if it's less, like over an hour less you don't get credit, bulls*#t!!! 1 (one) Star rating

They guys did a great job with taking all of the stuff out of the POD. I appreciated that they worked well with each to get the job done in 2 hours. They even moved 2 pieces of furniture after they were placed because I didn't like how it looked in the room. Thank you so much for making it less stressful then it has been.
