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 Charlotte, NC

In Charlotte labor-only moving help typically costs between $269.52 and $369.04. 

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 $77.57 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.

Rise above moving company was fantastic. They were prompt, very prepared for all of the items that needed to be moved, worked the entire time with high urgency, and were extremely careful with all of the items that were moved. I highly recommend them for anyone that has an upcoming move and if given the opportunity would hire them again!

Excellent and experienced workers who knew EXACTLY what they were doing to make this job easy, safe, and efficient. We would definitely hire them again. Carlos was very professional and notified us several times about their ETA, and when they arrived, they immediately got to work. Thank you again!

Both men were on time, polite, respectful and extremely hard workers, very strong. My husband and I couldn't believe they were able to pack all out items, furniture, boxes and more in the Pod. You are lucky to have them in your employ.

AJ and G were on time, prepared. Really friendly good couple of guys. They worked really hard and packed my container to the max it was impressive. The only hitch was I booked three movers on the website for loading/ packing but the two guys definitely got the job done and I would definitely use them again. We listened to some good music too!

Lonnie and Zach were great. It took a little longer than expected but it was only because they handled everything with care. I was convinced all my will never fit and truly it’s the experience of the team that made it work where everything was nicely stacked up. I would love working with them again.

Real Advice from Charlotte Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Charlotte. (They’re really nice!)

"If you are moving into or out of the Charlotte area between May and August, be sure to check the weather! We get an annual average of 43 inches of rain and it can definitely impact not only your drive, but your load/unload process as well. Be sure to make your truck reservations at least 2 weeks in advance, especially during peak moving season, and note that some locations are not open on Sunday! Make sure to also plan your arrival/departure in regards to rush hour traffic. It can make a big difference!"

"Local U-Haul centers will rent moving pads by the dozen, so there's no need to buy them. Rent for ~$10 per dozen and return them to U-Haul when you are done moving."
