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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 321,970 verified customer reviews
They arrived within the one hour time window even though I had previously given them directions because gps isn't accurate so they got lost. It's a tricky place to get to. Once they got there the Manager was great and they worked hard to get everything into the Pods. They finished within the expected time frame. Yes, I'd recommend them.
WE WERE VERY PLEASED WITH PROFESSIONAL MOVERS. THEY WERE VERY PROFESSIONAL AND PROFICIENT. IT MADE OUR MOVE LESS STRESSFUL AND AM GRATEFUL FOR THEIR HELP.
Marathon Movers were on-time, courteous and very professional. They certainly made the move less stressful. I will be moving again in six months and want them to make my next move.
They were the best movers I have ever used! Jeff and Carlton came from an hour away with 1 hour notice after another company did not show up. We thought it would take 4 hours for them to unload a 26’ truck that was completely full but they finished in 2 hours in the middle of the hottest afternoon ever. They did not stop or slow down for even a second ! Wonderful!!!
These 2 young men were absolutely wonderful, very quick and cautious, and worked the entire time. Well worth the money and we would absolutely recommend them again!!
Elton, Cam and Chris did a fantastic job! On time , very courteous and kind, treated our furniture like their own, packed our Pod professionally and padded the furniture really well, strapped everything down so it wouldn’t shift during the move. Just an all star team!!! We would hire Crocker Moving in a heartbeat!
The gentlemen were very respectful and placed all the items as we indicated. We allowed for extra time to unload in case the furniture had shifted. Their services were convenient and appreciated.
Excellent crew! They came in and took over the completion of packing and then went to work on loading the truck. What we anticipated as an 8 hour job turned into a 4 hour job! Nobody stood around while others worked. Everyone was diligent in their jobs, friendly, and focused. I would recommend your company to others. Brad McCullough
We used them twice and they were fantastic! They never stopped moving - I kept telling them to take a break and drink some water. They were very polite and respectful and extremely hard workers.
These guys were terrific! They hit the ground working like a finely tuned machine! Very, very happy I chose them to help us with the monumental job of packing our furniture, boxes and stuff! Great guys - would definitely use them again if needed. A+++++++++++++++
Very nice, punctual, proficient, and professional. We were very impressed by the services provided. Without a doubt, we would recommend this company to family and friends.
The guys from B&D did a great job. They kept in touch with us to let us know their arrival time and when they got there, went right to work. There were 2 storage units and they were great on making each unit packed efficiently. The guys were friendly and we enjoyed working with them. Would be glad to recommend B&D Movers to anyone.

All Etowah movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.

Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
