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 Cost of Moving in Franklin Grove, IL

In Franklin Grove 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 $94.94 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 Franklin Grove 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.

The guys from Allstar did a fantastic job with our move! They were friendly, well-prepared, and they accomplished a lot in a relatively short amount of time, and made the most of the space we had in the truck (seriously, it was like a game of Tetris). I would absolutely recommend, they’re very hard workers.

The two guys you sent were excellant. They arrived right on time and got right to work. They finished the job in the 3 hours we had extimated and I was able to close up the apartment and leave on time. The U-Haul truck was very tightly packed just as well as any professional packers I have used in the past. Thanks again for a great move. Bill W

Both of the movers from J.C. Movers were fantastic. They were a few minutes late, but jumped right in assessing my items, and began loading the truck. It took longer than expected, but no one complained, and they packed the truck so well that the only item broken was one I dropped when I arrived at my new destination. I would definitely recommend them to others.
