Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more.

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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

 Labor-OnlyLocal-Full Service
Cross Plains, WI$514.13$1,263.71
Wisconsin$514.13$1,263.71
The United States$451.87$1,167.76
Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $514.13 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Cross Plains, WI, with an average hourly rate of $76.54. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

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.

Patrick and Jake were absolutely FANTASTIC. They were on time as per their phone call with the approximate time. They went right to work. Worked hard and diligently with complete care for our belongings to get everything packed in the POD we had ordered. If whomever we hire in Florida to unpack are half as good as these two were then they too will be excellent. Very HIGHLY recommended.

They arrived on time and did their absolute best to fit everything in our truck. It was our fault that the truck was too small, they tried to Tetris everything they could. Eric was very friendly. His helper seemed not to be too thrilled to be along, but seemed to do an ok job. They were very efficient, time wise. Would recommend!

I HIGHLY recommend Zach and his team for your move. This is the second time I have hired them, and they have been great both times. They were on time, worked efficiently, and were even willing to stay late when things ran long (for reasons that were entirely my fault). I plan to hire them any time I need moving assistance in the future in the Madison area.

Far exceeded my expectations. Based on a friend's experience with a different company, I worried that my things would be broken or I'd get overcharged while they sat around. These guys were extremely professional. They worked hard, handled my things with care, and helped me out beyond what I originally asked of them. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs help.

Our moving crew was prompt, well-prepared and very courteous. They did their best to protect furniture in spite of our forgetting to get moving pads. We had the plastic wrap on a reel that they used to protect items. They packed very efficiently and used the limited space in the storage unit quite effectively. I would definitely recommend and would hire them again!

The 2 young men that moved everything from my 16' POD to new addition were quick, efficient, allowed for my input, and were very courteous. They took about 1 1/2 hours to move large pieces of furniture into home and put all other boxes in garage. Would recommend, on time, neat.

The guys were very professional and squeezed every inch of space out of our (undersized) truck and treated all our property well. Almost none of our damaged stuff was their fault, and I could not expect better. They knew their business. When we started going over time, they brought in brought in some extra help to wrap it up quickly. If I still lived in Wisconsin, I would use them again.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Cross Plains

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Cross Plains.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All Cross Plains movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.

One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.

You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.

Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
