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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Them Movers, Vince and Dakota, did a great job. They knocked out our move without any issues. No complaints about the third floor move out, either! I highly recommend Them Movers.
Herschel, red, Vince, and matt did a great job, super cool dudes could have a beer with. I wish them the best in all they do. Would definitely recommend them wholeheartedly.
Mike and Chris were amazing! They were so quick and helpful with unloading my move. They were also funny and personable - I loved having them around. I will definitely recommend this company to others. They arrived early and worked with me to put my stuff where I preferred it. Loved them!
Great service. They were on time. Worked very efficiently and load much more than we expected would fit. Very nice to work with them. I would love to have them again. Now if I can only get though to your phone number to schedule help to unload.
I cannot thank you enough for this service!!! What a blessing to have Vincent & Dakota move my daughter's stuff from one place to another across the city. They were so professional, curious and respectful. I cannot express how grateful I was to have them be of service to us. Thank you thank you!!
They did an excellent job on a very hot day. They wrapped everything, secured it well, and weren't phased by the multiple levels of stairs in my home. I will 100% book them for my next job.
This was my first time using hire a helper, though they were an hour later the two men go right to it, and did an amazing job. This is my first time moving on my own so I am glad I went this is company!
Vince and Skylar were amazing! They moved me into my one-bedroom apartment carefully, professionally, and with incredible kindness. They were even able to partially fix an issue with my bedframe from the previous movers and give me a sense of what the problem was so that I could address it for a future move. I absolutely plan to give them a call for my next move.
arrived promptly at 3 pm and were finished unloading the pod by 345. We had already started unloading but basically wanted their help with washer, refrigerator and heavier boxes They worked hard and did not stop We had all the boxes marked so they knew exactly where to put them. They were pleasant, polite and very respectful of our property Definitely would use them again.
Dakota and Chris completed moving our daughter's college apartment efficiently. They were prompt and gave us a courtesy call to let us know their expected arrival time. They were conscientious about putting everything back that needed to be reassembled in the new place.
Tim, Scott and Chase were excellent! They loaded and packed the truck with expertise - nothing moved or shifted during my 600 mile drive. They were communicative and respectful and a pleasure to work with. I would rehire these guys without hesitation, and will recommend them to anyone.
excellent moving service in itself, however was annoyed that 2 of the 3 movers came 45 minutes late. assembly/disassembly option is misleading, as they really do not do any form of assembly and was shortchanged service because other jobs were booked on the same day.
