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 Charleston, TN

In Charleston labor-only moving help typically costs between $348.11 and $743.50. 

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 $85.86 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 Charleston 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.

Sean was amazing to work with. None of the glass broke. TV still works. I would recommend you talk with Sean about what you need to buy from Amazon or other stores, he made great recommendations so that I was prepared. (Also, Sean is easy to talk to.)

English Connection was great. We had originally booked other movers based on a personal recommendation, and they canceled the day of our move. Our location is a bit remote. Sean responded immediately and the team was able to get here much earlier than expected. They worked hard and continuously until all of our storage units were unloaded. They were extremely careful, no dings or damage.

Both gentlemen were on time. They were kind and very mannerly. They were very professional, and knew exactly what they were doing. They packed the moving container perfectly, efficiently and in a timely manner. Very hard working young men, and I would always tell people to use this company, because they knew how and exacting what they were doing. All in only 3 hours. Thank you. Fran Friedman

Jeff and Obed did a wonderful job! Things were not quite as expected - 2 guys instead of 3 and a 16 foot truck instead of 26 - but they were prepared, worked hard and took good care of my belongings. They were careful not to scratch the floors or ding the walls. I would recommend them as well as use them again.
