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. 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 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 more affordable.

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 Dayton, MN

In Dayton labor-only moving help typically costs between $373.48 and $456.14. 

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 $101.88 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.

Duke and his team were: Great with communication, arrived on time, stayed the whole time, worked their butts off helping us get all of our items moved into the house, and took care of our belongings too! But truly, they went above and beyond expectations. If anyone needs help moving, I would hesitate for a second to recommend these guys!!

The IJC Logistics team was on time, friendly, extremely hard-working, and got the job done in record time. They were collaborative and had good solutions for items that proved to be overly big or heavy. They also were as careful with my boxed items and furnishings as possible. You will be in good hands with this moving team.

These guys were absolutely amazing. They moved our 300-pound, unwieldy treadmill. They protected all our furniture. They were on time and were super positive. Robbie and his team went above and beyond to make our move go smoothly. I am so grateful to them. We couldn’t have done this without them.

Insight Movers did a fantastic job. They were on time and ready to work. Very fast - got everything out of a 16' container in less than 2 hours, and that was with a flight of stairs. Everything was treated with care and put where we directed. I will definitely use them again.

Did a great job loading up everything from a one bedroom apartment to a 12 foot moving truck for an interstate move. Very friendly, courteous, treated all the stuff with care and packed things in the truck so they won’t move around during the drive. Highly recommend them.

Mike and team were amazing. EXTREMELY professional and KNOWLEDGEABLE about all thing related to efficiently preparing items to move and packing a truck. We were amazed at how much they could fit - - we were actually able to move things we didn't think would fit. Worked hard the entire time - they do not waste a minute. We just sat back and watched (or tried not to watch)! Highly recommend.

Unfortunately, the three movers were not informed that one item was very heavy and needed a different dolly. They were an excellent group and did a great, efficient job!

They worked so hard and were very efficient. Great service by both men. They were good with our things and took care moving larger items. Not a deal breaker for the service, but they did leave several empty water and Gatorade bottles in the parking lot. . like 15 feet from a trash can. They were otherwise 10/10 movers. Littering is just mighty uncool.
