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.

The guys at DMV Discount Moving were great! They were on time, very communicative, and friendly. They worked hard and were very pleasant even though we had two stops (in the rain). We would highly recommend them and use them again for our next move.
The two gentlemen that came to unload my truck were great. Very friendly and helpful. My only criticism is wish the extra hour was 200 instead of 400. I would have gladly hired them for the extra hour, even though they were almost finished. Thanks for the help.
Ashley, Bryce, and Tyron were efficient, knowledgeable, and extremely pleasant. They were running late and kept me up to date on their arrival time. I would definitely want them to assist with any of my moves.
Buddy Beez were excellent movers! They were incredibly polite, took great care with my belongings, and were quite efficient with unloading my POD. Thank you for all that you did!
Literally the best movers I've ever had. They were fast and super nice about the disaster of the apartment. They loaded everything up tight so we could add more boxes later and showed us how to deal with the ramp. Seriously, amazing dudes, would hire them again!
Anthony & Warren were on time & worked hard. They were careful & I will use them again in the future. They unloaded (2) trucks & I'll need to move from the current storage units into a house & I'll request them again. Mark Fj
I was so very pleased with the entire experience from start to completion. I had to find moving labor help last minute and was so amazed at how these guys made it happen. Completely painless and stress free! Very prompt, courteous, respectful, efficient, and very affordable. I most certainly will be using this company in the future and will refer them to my friends and family as well.
Tim and Ryan were excellent. They were on time, responsive, worked incredibly hard (honestly, don't even know how they kept up the pace but they did), were exceptionally nice to work with, and did the job professionally without any damage to furniture, walls or floors. It was a pleasure working with them and I would recommend them highly for any future jobs.
Dave and his guys did a great Job! All of our belongings were well cared for. The guys were very well mannered and did not slow down. We definitely received our moneys worth. Honest days work for an honest days pay. Highly recommend Daves Moving Service LLC!!! They were early, worked hard and will be using them in the future.
Father and son team of Jason and Jason were great. They arrived on time and gave a courtesy call while en route. They worked hard and had our 16 ft POD, which was loaded top to bottom and front to back within 2 hrs. We had mostly boxes and only 2 major pieces of furniture. I would definitely use them again and highly recommend them.
They were very cooperative. They were on time. They adjusted to an unexpected flight of stairs. The were prepared and I would definitely use them again.
I was very pleased with the service provided by my movers. They were very conscience and careful about the contents and ensured everything was packed securely. They were punctual and professional. I would definitely recommend them and will use them again in the future.

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
While some Fort Ashby movers may offer basic moving coverage, the federal government only mandates insurance for movers that start and end in different states. HireAHelper is committed to protecting your move by offering automatic repair protection ($.60/lb), a $1,000 damage protection guarantee, and SmartProtection™, which is our optional coverage for labor-only moves with three tiers between $2,500 and $10,000.
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 mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge for 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.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
