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, itās considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 321,970 verified customer reviews
They were great. They were 15 mins early, and ready to go. Very nice guys. Efficient and fast. They were careful with our things and it went very smooth for a crazy day of moving. Thank you!! I will definitely be using them again.
They did a great job of packing my boxes in a POD. They were both very polite and worked quickly to get the job done. I would hire them again! Cecilia
David and Eli were great! They were so efficient and professional and really helped me organize packing into my pod — and they were so fast! They made something that is usually so stressful so easy. I would highly recommend and would definitely use them again.
I would for sure hire these guys again. They were top notch and so friendly. They were on time, prepared, brought tools and worked really hard to get both 26ft. Trucks unloaded. Hands down I would use them again.
Daniel and Rico were fantastic. They both worked very hard, took good care in handling my belongings and were clean and professional. I would highly recommend them. This service was such a blessing I. Helping with my move
The movers were very professional and experienced. They handled even the heaviest furniture with great care and attention. Everything was moved smoothly and safely. Highly recommend! Thank you again
These guys were amazing. Everything was moved quickly and undamaged. Even though I only paid for 2 movers they brought 3 and did not charge me for the extra man, even though they could have. Everything was moved in no time. The guys were friendly and seemed like good people. I will definingly Be using Ogre Man in the future.
My movers communicated with me ahead of time and arrived on time. They were professional and asked me where to put all my things. If i changed my mind, they gladly moved items around with no complaints. They were also friendly and personable and worked quickly and carefully. I would definitely recommend them as great movers and nice guys!
These guys showed up on time, were polite. They communicated well and helped move our boxes into our new place quicker than their posted time. The only reason I put a 4 star was because we had let them know which rooms to put the boxes in and they were putting them in the wrong rooms.
Morris and Nick were sweethearts. They were on time, very professional and very personable. What stood out the most was their attitude ~ upbeat and kind. They were sensitive to my special instructions in handling my grandmother’s things. I will be calling them for help again and highly recommend them.
I had the pleasure of working with Xavier and Terrick. I scheduled for a 9 AM move. I wasn’t too pleased with the reschedule of my move, because it put me in 25 minutes worth of lunch traffic that could’ve been avoided had the original time been kept. I ended up having to pay for an extra hour, however the guys moved fast up 2 flights of stairs. Would definitely use and recommend again.
My morning load crew made me late to the address where Ogre Man was my unload crew. They understood, worked with me, did about half the unload, and had to go to another job. But they came back and finished me up later that afternoon. FAST, FAST, FAST, unloaded. HIGHLY RECOMEND, and obvious why they have so many 5star reviews. I will SEEK THEM OUT for my next move.
