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.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Emeryville, CA

In Emeryville labor-only moving help typically costs between $358.17 and $663.28. 

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 $88.09 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.

Carlos and Purcell were excellent! They were kind, timely, and extremely hard-working. I would highly recommend them. We were very stressed leading up to moving day and their expertise and efficiency made things much less stressful. Not only were they respectful of our belongings, they were also friendly and easy to work with. Thank you both!

The guys were awesome! Usually with paid movers they work slow and stretch the job out. These guys worked at such a great pace and unloaded the 6 hour load job in a little over an hour. I was very impressed. If you are looking for a hard working crew that won’t slack on the job, give these guys a call! Well done.

Excellent movers. I highly recommend them. They are professional, diligent and super fast. I had other movers help me the prior two days and MovingZoom was by far better than the prior movers and they exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the teamwork between the two movers was phenomenal and they skillfully loaded two large moving pods.
