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.

The Cost of Moving in East Chicago, IN
In East Chicago labor-only moving help typically costs between $319.99 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 $78.49 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.

I booked them for 1-2 start time and they arrived about 2:10p. Once they were here, they were on it! Not alot of standing around and were careful of our things. They made sure to ask questions when needed! I’d use them again no doubt!
These guys were phenomenal! They were the kindest people you could meet, took great care of my items, and had a smile on their face the whole time. Highly recommend! I will definitely use them again!
Thanks you! Our crew of two men was wonderful. They were on time and got straight to loading. I appreciate their friendliness and work ethic.
KJ and James were so helpful! They arrived early, stayed an extra hour to finish the job, communicated well, and everything was expertly packed. None of our furniture or boxes had budged an inch after a six-hour drive.
My movers were amazing! Great communication with letting me know exactly when they would be there. They were on time and even a little earlier than expected. Came prepared with large rolling cart, they worked non stop and made sure all my fragile belongings were handled carefully. I would 100% use again, friendly, reliable service! Made the moving process as smooth as possible.
Akeem & Mike knocked it out of the park - so professional, hustled like no other and made the process so seamless and fun with their upbeat personalities! They’re my hero’s and couldn’t do this move without them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND…ask for Akeem & Mike! OUTSTANDING!
The moving team was incredible - they were on time, did everything that was asked of them, and went above and beyond when taking care of my things. They packed the truck with expert precision and were very careful when loading and unloading. They were friendly and professional the whole time - they kept smiles on their faces. I cannot recommend them enough!!!
These nice, friendly, capable gentlemen did a great job of moving our stuff, both extremely efficiently in terms of time and packing it extremely efficiently in terms of space without compromising the safety of our items. Thanks guys!
Victor and Josh were amazing. They were friendly, worked super fast, and packed everything in our container for us extremely efficiently. I can’t recommend them enough.
Excellent job from Jay, Chad, Rick. They were so thorough at helping me unpack my POD and moving in. I highly recommend them and am so appreciative of their hard work, even in the rain.
The team showed up on time and did a great job of making sure everything fit into the truck. They were very efficient, friendly, and respectful of our property. I would definitely recommend them.
I am totally satisfied with the 2 man team of movers that provided the service of moving all our personal belongings into a 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor under grueling heat conditions and very narrow stairs. I will highly recommend their service as a job well done. Thank you for all your help.
