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, it's considerably more affordable.

I hired two men to help interstate movers with the unloading of my items. The men were on time, ready to help and worked continually until the load was unloaded. They worked extremely well with the movers, were very careful with the furniture and boxes, and were very professional, and nice to work with. Highly recommended.
They were early, prepared for the job, hard workers and very careful with our furniture. I would recommend them and plan to use them to move our furniture back into the house when we finish our remodel!
Arrived on time. Had texted me to let me know they would be there at that time. Got right to work and was careful and efficient. Would recommend them highly.
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
Michael, Rodney and Paul we excellent, professional, and very considerate of our furnishings. No wasted time. I’d hire them again for any future moves.
Ben and Nick were completely awesome. We moved from a second floor apartment downstairs, across the street and up to a 3rd floor apartment. I would have died doing it myself. They were super careful. No damage to furniture or walls.
Mike showed up on time, was hard working, careful and completely professional. I would use his services again and recommend him to family and friends.
The guys were great and the communication was great up until the point that two weeks later all of a sudden I was getting charged double and it is not taken care of as of yet. No calls back , no emails back! No way would I recommend this company when they took almost three hundred dollars I didn't have two weeks after the job was done. Not good business as far as I'm concerned.
These two, Richard and Danny, were incredible. They fought traffic for more than two hours to get here and complete my job, they never complained about it once. They were fast, efficient, over and above offering to do multiple things to make things easier for me. I would absolutely use them again should the need arise.
James and his crew were simply amazing! From start to finish. Our scheduled truck was not available so we were scrambling. Danielle was also very helpful all the way through. Highly recommend! Will definitely use again and tell others about them.
Movers were significantly late, but added an extra mover to compensate. Move was successful and they worked hard despite some challenging circumstances. Apex worked with me to get a good rate despite some challenges working through third party "Hire-a-Helper." All worked out in the end!
These guys were fantastic. Anthony was super patient with us as we were moving from another state and needed some flexibility with arrival time. They were on time, worked hard. They were careful, and they got the job done very well. They were also friendly and easy to work with. Highly recommend!
