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, itās considerably more affordable.

The team was prompt, prepared, and hard-working. They carefully wrapped up the items that needed it, and they efficiently packed the space in the moving van. We would use them again.
Workers did a good job. Hire a helper is a scam because you have to go online and sign them out. This is not the users responsibility - we were traveling as they were finishing up and would have been overcharged because we did not have access to a computer. If it hadn't been for my son-in-law going on line and checking you would still be charging us. Sleezy.
Steven and Michael[name?] were WONDERFUL!! I said they looked like my grandsons. They were very respectful of my wishes for placement of things. Would definitely recommend them again.
Great move team! We book their move service 3rd Party to help out our storage customers. They are always quick & efficient, yet careful. They arrive on time & are dependable. We love using them & confidently recommend them if you are looking for a Stress free & Damage free moving experience. - Zippy Shell Moving & Storage
These guys were great. They worked hard, were respectful and worked around a problem or two. It was quick, easy and non-stressful. I would hire them again in a minute!
These two men were on time, they had what they needed for the job (unloading a very full SAM container). They worked hard, were careful with our items and put them where we wanted them. I complimented them on their work ethic. I recommend them and would call on them again.
Gave these guys the game plan. They moved everything quickly and safely. Had a couple of last second changes and they adapted and overcame. They also did quicker then expected. Micheal and his team are highly recommended.
What a great experience! WMLS helped unload two storage units and move it into a third floor apartment, no elevator. They were on-time, professional, super helpful, they helped put together the bed frame, and very easy to work with. They helped me navigate a 16' rental truck. Everyone was flexible in scheduling the move. I would definitely recommend WMLS!
These guys were friendly, on time and hard workers. They took excellent care of our items and were very careful moving things within the home. I would absolutely use them again! Awesome experience. Thx!
The Muscle Movers were professional, very nice, hospitable and very quick but accurate at their job. We will recommend to family and friends. Judy, Stephanie, & Michael Moline.
I have a worn out hip and could not move the heavier items I needed out of my house. These two men wirked well as a yeam and got all my stuff loaded in 1/2 the time I had estimated. They were on time, polite and professional. Neefless to say they worked hard for my move. I would recommend them highly and I would not hesitate to use them again.
I was very satisfied with Washington Moving Services. The helpers arrived on time as promised and worked hard loading our furniture onto the truck. They were friendly and efficient.
