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.

The Cost of Moving in Cook, IL

In Cook labor-only moving help typically costs between and . 

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 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.

David’s team were helpful, kind, punctual, and even completed our job early. We had a POD with a specific delivery window that they were able to accommodate. If you need movers, these are the best guys for the job. We had a small house that was difficult to maneuver and they were realistic while also making the effort to get everything in. I’m grateful for their help!

I was blown away by how fast and helpful our team was. They moved all of our belongings and furniture up 3 floors (no elevator) in just over an hour. They stayed after their scheduled end time to finish assembling a piece of furniture we asked them to help with. my expectations were exceeded- I highly recommend.

Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.
