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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Mo and Dave moved me in. I looked for them to move me out. They are so fabulous. They loaded my trailer securely / tightly. They were on time and kept in touch. They were quick, careful and thorough. I recommend them for your move.
Efficient, knowledgeable, and fast. They handled my third-story apartment without issue and packed everything tightly into our small trailer with clear expertise.
Michael and his associate were courteous and very efficient. They handled large and ungainly pieces of furniture and exercise equipment down an outside hill as well as upstairs, locating items on three different levels. They were quite careful with items and no damage was noted. I would highly recommend this team to anyone requiring a moving crew.
They were so helpful! Made our life so much easier. Fast and careful. They didn’t complain or slow down at all in the 2 hours. Completely worth the money for the time and aches they saved us. Would 100% use them again. They were on time and got right to work. Nice guys, polite, courteous, and ready to work.
Beryl and his colleague arrived on time and worked very hard. I felt bad that I did not let them know that they needed to move heavy boxes and furniture out the back door and up a small hill in the snow, to load the truck. Also, the job ran for 4 hours. They never complained, were always respectful, and worked extremely hard to complete the job. Would highly recommend their services.
Hiring MnM was the best decision I have ever made!! They made my life infinitely easier and save me hours of time. They were prompt, efficient and kind! They went above and beyond and I am so happy with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire them again and highly recommend them!
Great crew! Worked fast, efficient. Moved our heavy stuff off of the truck and up 3 flights of stairs in an hour. Would absolutely hire this team again!
These 2 gentlemen were exceptional. They plugged anyway emptying my PODS and did more in 4 hours than I could have in 4 days! They were very agreeable, took direction and were a delight. Thank you very much for your hard work!
They were absolutely incredible. Took very good care of everything that needed to be moved. They packed my u-haul perfect. I moved over 2000 miles and the truck was still in perfect condition because of the way they packed it. Thank you so much. I highly recommend them.

One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it.
