The Cost of Hiring Movers in Clayton, NC

On average, it costs $294.68 to hire moving helpers in Clayton, NC. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Clayton, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $74.56.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Clayton, NC is $938.61, with an average hourly rate of $108.12. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

I first met Marc & Mark two years ago and I was immediately impressed with their professionalism and approach to their work. Over these past two years, they haven’t missed a beat! I felt they treated my things and my home as though it were their own. It made for a great moving experience! Thank you!

The two guys who showed up were amazing. They only took 2 hours to unload a 26 foot truck and a 12 foot trailer. I hired them for 3 hours - NO REFUND FOR THE UNUSED HOUR! I sure hope the two helpers got paid for 3 hours since the company would not refund the hour I didn’t need. Only 4 stars for charging me 3 hours. The helpers get 5+ stars!

I had a great experience with the team that helped me unload my PODS container. Both movers arrived right on time and got straight to work. They were professional, efficient, and handled everything with care. They made what could have been a stressful day go smoothly. I truly appreciate their hard work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing moving labor help!
