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.

The Cost of Moving in Essex, MD
In Essex labor-only moving help typically costs between $305.46 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 $80.76 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.

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!!
These guys are the best!!!! Unloaded two 16 foot pods containers into a single 20 foot trailer. Unloading , loading and packed the trailer so that everything fit perfectly. Signed up for 4 hours they completed the job in just a little over 2 hours!!!! Mike and his crew are very friendly and hard working! We will definitely get them when we move again!
The movers were professional, punctual and quick! They were attentive to fragile stickers and handled items with care. They staged my apartment according to the virtual floor plan I created. Very happy with the service!
They arrived a little late but worked extra hard to get the stuff off my PODS super fast because they had to take it away. Very friendly and gentle with my stuff!
Arrived on time. Worked hard and took the lead got more stuff on my truck than I expected .very courteous and friendly. I would definitely use them again.
Anthony and Jay were awesome. They were communicative, friendly, and handled each piece of furniture with care. Their "can-do" attitude and willingness to problem solve on tricky pieces was much appreciated!
MBK Moving is top notch! Anthony & Jay were prompt, professional, expert problem solvers & friendly. They worked harmoniously & efficiently. I highly recommend that anyone needing movers enlist their services.
Excellent crew. Professional and polite. Worked hard. Took great care of our stuff and they packed everything so well that we were able to fit everything in the truck! Couldn’t be happier with the service and would highly recommend them. You won’t be disappointed.
Affix Movers did a fabulous job moving my daughters out of their apartment. They arrived on time and ready to work. They worked so hard in the heat! They did a great job wrapping mattresses, dressers and couches.Very impressed! Would definitely use them again .
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.
Fantastic job. Not a lot of downtime and they worked hard. In and out with loading, unloading and reloading in just over two hours. Guys were professional, helpful, and careful. Really appreciated them..
They did an excellent job getting the PODS door open and were very willing to work on it for a while until it finally opened. They were very efficient emptying the POD and stacking everything where advised.
