What Is Labor-Only?
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 moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.

CW Movers did a fantastic job. They were very thorough protecting our stuff, loaded and unloaded the truck very timely, and worked very hard. They showed up on time ready to go. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to all family and friends.
The Royal Professional guys were great! Worked really hard all day and were a pleasure to be around. I'll definitely use them if I'm ever working in the area again.
They arrived promptly and did an excellent job. They were very friendly, worked efficiently and placed everything where I wanted it to go. I definitely recommend them.
These guys did a wonderful job. Stayed energetic all day and were very careful with our belongings. I was impressed. We had a lot to move and they kept at it. We had about an hour of time at the end of the day when we had everything packed and they were willing to do a little cleaning and vacuuming to finish out their time. I would go this route again in a heartbeat. GS
The crew arrived on time and were very courteous. We did a walk through so the team knew what they needed to accomplish within the time allotted. The guys were careful and did a great job of getting the truck loaded quickly. We then drove to the new location and the team promptly unloaded the items and placed them where instructed. No hidden charges, good job - I'd recommend them!
