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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

The Cost of Moving in Ellicott City, MD
In Ellicott City labor-only moving help typically costs between $240.25 and $376.90.
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 $77.72 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.

Frank and Jamal were awesome. Showed up right on time and got everything moved out safely and efficiently in just 2 hours. They did a great job packing my uhaul and making sure all my belongings were safe. Couldn’t have done it without their help, highly highly recommend them!
This crew was outstanding! How they managed to get so much stuff in the 2 pods was mind boggling. Every item was shrink wrapped before it went into the pod. They all worked constantly and everyone seemed to know what needed to be done when. Very respectful group and our items were handled with care even during a torrential rain storm. Great job everyone!!
The helper team was Pierre and his colleague. Very calm and respectful. It was raining and I’d been a bit overwhelmed but their calm and focused demeanor was an immediate relief. They were steady and measured and were done in the two hours. They asked the right questions and were respectful. Would hire you again. Thank you Team Pierre.
Alex and team did a great job! I appreciated their communication in both the days leading up to the move and day off. They were efficient and fun to work with. I appreciated the support in re-assembling some of my furniture and in making sure everything was where I needed it to be. Would definitely recommend!
We called Affix super last minute for some help loading a large trailer. They came and finished the job SO fast and effectively. I felt really really safe with my furniture in their hands. They saved us from a moving disaster. Thank you so much!
Excellent crew. The older gentleman was fantastic and the younger one was very good. Easy to work with and got the job done on time. I would highly recommend them for another move.
Great experience working with On Go Moving and Hauling. The crew were professional and hard workers, they were life savers during our move, would highly recommend and certainly use their services again!
These guys saved us today. Both of the movers were professional and hard working and did a great job helping us clear out 2 storage units. Would highly recommend.
Kendall and Dave were so helpful and efficient and put us at ease, even though we weren’t fully ready or packed. Great communication pre-move. Would use them again anytime.
Josh and E were the BEST!! They were on time, super careful with all our stuff, put everything where it needed to go (which was an extra ask!) and above all, SO so friendly and kind!! I loved spending part of my day with them. Thanks for the best welcome back to Baltimore. Don’t hesitate to book Best Choice Laborers!
The 3 men were absolutely awesome. Worked well as a team, very polite and helpful. I would recommend them any day. They came right on time and worked without stopping. So impressed.
Our movers were prompt and ready to get to work! They both showed up with a cheerful attitude and listen when we asked for specific items to be moved to specific times. Very easy to work with we would certainly hire them again when needed.
