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.

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 Derby, CT

In Derby labor-only moving help typically costs between $312.28 and $687.19. 

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 $80.37 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.

Mike and Dan were fantastic. They were prompt and took great care with moving the furniture to the storage pod and my garage. I’m impressed. I will need them back in about 8-9 days to put the furniture back after my floors are refinished. Thank you for a great experience!

Easily the best moving crew I’ve ever worked with / hired. On time, prepared, had their own tools, they had a plan and executed that plan. They took apart any furniture that needed taking apart to fit outside, they were fast and efficient, they informed me of everything as they worked, and were kind and courteous. I will be hiring them again for sure.

The people at Advantage Moving were a pleasure to work with. Tyler and Josh did an outstanding job of moving my S*?!t to my new apartment - and Greg Cooper was flexible and accommodating with scheduling. When i need to move again in the future (hopefully the distant future), i will reach out to Advantage Moving directly. Thank you, Gentlemen! - Dan J
