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 East Elmhurst, NY

In East Elmhurst labor-only moving help typically costs between $239.62 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 $88.33 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.

These men are the best movers we have ever worked with (and we’ve done 10 moves in the last 10 years). They showed up a tad late because another move they were at went long, but their work was so efficient and well done that I would use them again and again. Also just nice guys who I enjoyed meeting. Very hard working and with no complaints. Highly recommend them!

Daniel and his crew showed up when they said they would, which is a great way to start. They were extremely efficient and careful in moving our furniture out of our home and into the POD. Daniel was like a master Tetris player making sure everything fit. Highly recommend!

Eric and Kevin did great under the sweltering heat. The loading of my pod wasn't very straightforward but they did their best to get it done. They were very punctual as well. My only recommendation for Promove in general would be to make it part of their system to call a week or a day before to confirm again with the client the date and time. Other than that, it was a good experience

The company was efficient in setting up the appointment and kept me updated regarding arrival time and day ofadded charges if I went over my time, which I did. Two young men arrived on time, worked hard and were polite. Hopefully, when the pod reaches me at the final destination, there will be no damage attributed to them.
