Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it. You can book with the confidence that you are getting the best value for your move. Learn more.

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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

 Labor-Only Local-Full Service 
East Grand Rapids, MI $476.33 $1,201.98 
Michigan $476.33 $1,201.98 
The United States $451.90 $1,167.84

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $476.33 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in East Grand Rapids, MI, with an average hourly rate of $78.79. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.

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, it’s considerably more affordable.

Blake and Tim were an incredible help today! They communicated with me before my appointment to let me know they could come early. They were super efficient and careful moving things to my second floor unit including a couple antique items. At the end, they put together my bed frame with the tools they brought and were still done early. Both were friendly, professional, and clearly experienced movers!

These guys are amazing! They're friendly and professional and work hard. After starting the day in our first location with some less than helpful movers we were kind-of dreading meeting up with the next company but Two Brothers unloaded our entire truck in under an hour and were quick and mindful of our belongings. They saved the day I cannot recommend them enough!!

Just Us Professional Movers LLC
Just Us Professional Movers did a fantastic job. In the past four years, my wife and I have hired four different moving companies for our moves and Just Us were by far and away the best. They came right on time and worked straight on for three hours with virtually no break. Most impressively, they managed to fit our entire house into one POD - only the most knowledgeable of professionals could have done that. Every square inch of the POD was utilized and this knowledge saved us from having to rent a second POD. Meanwhile, they moved heavy and awkward furniture downstairs and around tricky turns in the house, without hitting a single wall and all of the furniture was wrapped and protected with extreme care.

Can and Mikie were fabulous: polite, fastidious, organized and incredibly fast. I didn't feel like I had to manage them. They were on time, uber prepared for the job, worked incredibly hard, treated my stuff as if it belonged to the freakin' Queen of England. I would most assuredly use them again. In fact, I wish I had something they could move right now!
