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 Detroit, ME

In Detroit labor-only moving help typically costs between $410.75 and $459.46. 

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 $88.39 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Detroit is what we’re here for.

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.

Their arrival window was between 11:00 and 12:00. At 12:10 we called because they hadn’t arrived yet. They showed up at 12:30. The two workers did work hard once they arrived. It would have been nice if they had reached out to let us know they were going to be late.

Morris and crew provided excellent service. They were efficient with their time and were careful with my possessions. If a box wasn't labeled clearly, they asked which room it should go in and stacked everything neatly right where we asked them to. They discussed and developed a good plan to handle the few heavy items to go down a flight of stairs. Overall, very impressed and I'd use them again.
