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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |

The Cost of Moving in Durham, CT
In Durham labor-only moving help typically costs between $384.95 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 $82.03 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.
Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |

Durham, CT | $362.53 | $742.17 |
Connecticut | $356.08 | $714.51 |
The United States | $356.65 | $821.07 |

Justin and Rick were great— they got everything I needed done within exactly the time I reserved and they even helped me with additional moving, and packing things plus the provided experienced suggestions and help with getting it done efficiently. Would definitely use them again!!
Adrian and his team were so sweet and super fast. They packed my pod so well and still left room for additional things that I hadn’t packed yet. Highly recommend!
Eric & Ronin were absolutely amazing. These men were extremely efficient, time, sensitive and organized. They accommodated everything we needed accomplished and did it within the limited timeframe we had available. I would highly recommend this team! EXCELLENT service!!
The crew was wonderful! They were on time and very respectful of our belongings. They worked quickly and efficiently. We underestimated the size truck that we would need, but the crew carefully packed the truck using every available space in an attempt to fit as much as possible. I would highly recommend them
I highly recommend Fast Movers!! Eric, Ronin & Keenan were awesome! They arrived promptly and worked diligently and carefully to move our furnishings and belongings into a 28 foot trailer. They took their time making sure to use every inch without wasting any space. Great company and great guys!!
Movers were on time. They worked very hard and we appreciated that, especially in the rain. They were very respectful of our property. They packed our moving trailer so smartly and efficiently, like I’ve never seen before! The guys were friendly and professional. Highly recommend Fast Movers to anyone.
2 man crew arrived on time and completed the unloading of a small POD container in the time estimated. Very efficient crew taking direction and care handling box placements within the residence. We would indeed use this service again as needed. Thanks to David the crew chief.
Ashton and Rodan (sp?) arrived on time and did three hours of hard work in high humidity and temps. They listened to us and understood our goals for the pack up. They were polite and understanding. Can not say enough good things about these two gentlemen and the service they provide.
Dave and Paul were exceptionally helpful in unloading my PODS into my home. They were careful to lay out moving blankets to protect the floors, doors, and islands in the house, and took their time to get everything unloaded safely and efficiently. They even managed to get an incredibly heavy treadmill base to the second floor! I would highly recommend using them again.
Fast and friendly. Highly recommend for your move. I did not have many moving supplies but they made it work and protected all of my belongings. I would use their services again!
Arrived on time. The two movers Mark and Carl were friendly, courtesy and worked quickly. They were very careful with our belongings, and were mindful to not scratch any doors, walls or furniture. We would use them again.
David and Justin were amazing, polite and very efficient . Our Pod was packed very organized. They are a Great Team ! I would request them again.. Thank you !
