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, itās considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 321,975 verified customer reviews
Very careful, and very patient with a older couple (me!) who didn't quite know where everything belonged. Very hard workers. Good people, they will do the job!
The crew showed up on time, and did a thoroughly professional job packing our POD. They were very careful with our belongings, and made sure everything was packed so that things would not shift around in transit. It was obvious the crew took a great deal of pride in their work, and I will recommend them highly.
We got into a tough spot and Jeff was there right away to do everything he could, making sure the move went smoothly. Great service!! Ready Set Go Movers is my GO TO team in Missouri!
They have a triple recommendation for being on time, extremely hard workers, and for being friendly, helpful, and enjoyable men. I am so happy that they were assigned to me by Hire- A-Helper. I give the highest score possible to Tyler and Jesse. Thank you, Barbara Ankeny
Great guys. They nonly unloaded but set up as well. They were very hard workers and took very good care while unloading. Was even better than we expected....
Jeff and Tony were just wonderful to work with! Very professional, showed up exactly on time, listened to all my directions and followed them exactly. I would not hesitate to use them again, but I dont want to ever move again anywhere! ?? Jeff was very gracious in putting up with our need to reschedule twice..always willing to accomodate. Great job!!! Forrest LeMaster Hamilton, MO.
We had a team of two come move some heavy furniture around our home - both men hustled, were thoughtful and careful with our belongings. We would certainly hire them again!
Very efficient and respectful. On time and finished up without wasting time! Everything arrived without a scratch. Best move ever...and I have a lot of mover experience!
The two movers were curtious, worked hard and fast yet took time in making sure nothing was damaged. I was very impressed. I actually could have used a smaller truck since they packed it so well.
The men who work for this company are so wonderful. They do the job quickly and efficiently. We used them multiple times in Kansas City because they have been so wonderful to work with. They communicate with you to make sure everything is done how you need, they communicate arrival times, etc. I cannot say enough about the men who work for this company. Please use them as they do a wonderful job.
The team showed up early, ready to work. They completed the job ahead of schedule. They did a great job. Very friendly and respectful. Nothing was broken and they were very helpful. I would use them again!
I’m so glad that I hired Leave It Moving to unload our truck. We hired them at the last minute and they came through for us and delivered exceptional service. I will definitely use them again and would recommend that you use their services!!
