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. 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 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 more affordable.

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 Fairbury, IL

In Fairbury labor-only moving help typically costs between $326.70 and $693.69. 

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 $78.04 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Fairbury is what we’re here for.

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.

I hired this service on line to assist my son in Illinois with his move. I am speaking on his behalf. He informed me they were on time and prepared for the job. They were hard workers and professional. They were respectful and we will definitely use them again! Thank you!

Zack and Dalton were great! Arrived on time, and were very friendly and professional. Anything they weren’t sure about, they asked about instead of tossing it somewhere. Plus, the office called a couple of times ahead of the unloading day to make sure to confirm everything and get info ahead of time in case extra equipment was needed. I definitely recommend J & N!

Contacted in advance to confirm reservation and notified once they were approximately 30 minutes away. After arriving early, they quickly unloaded the truck and adhered to our requests. I certainly recommend them and will use them for future moves!

On time and know how to pack a pod! A huge thank you to Melancon Moving for re-packing my pod. Douglas called me the day before to find out what kind of job he was getting into. I gave him the details that he was re loading a sixteen foot pod that was loaded incorrectly. He was on time. He also discovered damage to my dresser made by the previous pod packing company. Good eyes.
