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.

I was fortunate to have had Cordes and Hampton come to help me again. These guys were on time, ready to go to work and did everything I asked plus more in the time I had hired them for. I hope not to have to move furniture again, but if I do, I hope these guys are available!
Joshua and Shaquan were Excellent,Dedicated,Motivated and all around Awesome Young Men that made moving less of a chore. I would use these two exclusively if ever there was a need again.
Josh and Montrell were excellent! On time, professional, very careful with our items and our home, e.g., no wall scuffs, etc. They worked hard and expertly unpacked our 16' POD into our home in both upstairs and downstairs rooms. I highly recommend them for your next move! - John L, New Bern
"Fan-f#cking-tastic" Mike and Kris were amazing and if we had all the money in the world, we'd hire them as our own personal movers. They deserve a good raise for their work.
Very courteous and helpful young men. My wife was particularly pleased with their help. They unloaded the truck without a single incident or accident, always a good thing. Also gratified that the company is flexible to meet our changing schedule, with late notice! Again, Thank you
The company was great. Communicated a few days out and again when the guys were on their way. Both of the guys were polite and capable. I would definitely recommend using Seconds movers
Our two helpers were fantastic! Ontime, helped get our truck unloaded very quickly and then helped us with unboxing some furniture and taking the boxes back out to the truck for breakdown. Great experience and made our move in fast and no stress!!
The two people who moved me were on time, very courteous, worked quickly and carefully. They were very helpful, and is use this company again. Highly recommend!
Good Day, The Team of Gentlemen who assisted me yesterday (Nov. 15) were outstanding! Extremely professional the entire time and eased some of the stress that comes with moving. They essentially pack a 3 bedroom out into a moving truck with the type of precision you may see on the video game “Tetris!” Amazing job gentleman my family and I appreciate you all.
Hampton and Cordes were on time and ready to go when scheduled. Very pleasant young men that did exactly what we needed them to do plus more in the allotted time period. I hope they are available for the next move!
Very professional and friendly. They had a person call in sick and kept me up to date. Was very fair with adjusting the price. They were quick, friendly. Being a new transplant I was very comfortable interacting with the movers in person and the contact person via text and phone. Will definitely use again!
They were fantastic. Very efficient and polite. They went over and above and put my bed frame together for me, arranged things as much as possible, unloaded a 16 ft, POD and swept out the POD all within the 2 hours. They were so friendly and really brought a positive spirit to the job. When looking for a mover their price was the most reasonable I could find. Very satisfied customer
