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.

Prompt. Professional. Chris and CJ did a wonderful job. I had them unload to a house and pick Thru some of the boxes for another location I would definitely hire this group again
BOTH MEN WORKED TOGETHER WELL, STRONG, POlLITE GOOD WORKERS. I LIKED THESE GUYS AND WOULD RECOMMEND THEM TO ANYONE I KNOW THAT' IS IN NEED OF STRONG HELP FOR MOVING.
Our first time hiring movers and thus could not have gone better. The two men who helped us were absolutely amazing. They went above and beyond, taking special care with our super old heavy furniture. They were polite, kind, and so helpful! Do yourself a favor and book with them!
The guys did a quick job loading the truck but I don't think enough attention was paid to what was fragile and what was not. When the truck was unloaded, several things were found broken and a couple of chair mats may not be usable again because they were not kept flat. Other items may also be damaged but I won't know that until they are finally unloaded when I find a place to live.
Nick and his crew arrived on time and were very courteous. They worked until the job was finished without breaks, in a cold, wintry mix of weather. I would definitely recommend them and even hire them again myself.
Guys were wonderful. Called to let me know their arrival time (which was right on time). Both fellows kept up a steady pace. Finished 30 minutes early. Asked for extra padding as needed. My truck was well packed and secured with my rope to prevent load shifting. Would definitely use Affordable to move again. Sandy
Communicated well regarding their arrival time. Appreciated their expertise regarding best way to move very large furniture and packing into a storage unit. Worked well together. Courteous, asked if they could do anything else for us before leaving.
Wow, best decision we’ve made in a long time...hiring helpers to move. Had Michael and Lee. They were exactly on time, got right to work, treated everything like it was their own and were done in just over an hour. We are so appreciative and would not hesitate to hire them again. We didn’t know there would be a chance to tip electronically so we just did it when they were done. Thanks so much!!!
Best advice for anyone hiring help to move is to set your help up for success. Be aware that only you know what is going on. And what goes where. Either plan ahead or pay for your help to ponder. Two Bros. showed up promptly and began working immediately. We scheduled them for 2 hours and they got the job done under time. I would hire them again in a heartbeat.
Superior Moving Services are the hardest working men on the planet. They unloaded our 26 ft. moving truck with exceptional care and in warped speed. These guys were very professional and very friendly. Although not necessary, they took extra time after the move to sweep out the moving truck for us. I’d give them more stars if I could.
Eddie and Craig were on time and prepared to get our furniture and other articles packed into a Upack container. They were hard working and helped us empty the basement garage too! Thank you both!
They were a bit late because of car trouble (not their fault, and they were driving all the way from Chicago). But they came and worked hard, and I was happy with the job they did. I would definitely use them again.
