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 Gaines, MI

In Gaines labor-only moving help typically costs between $343.87 and $687.19. 

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 $81.83 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 Gaines 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.

It was the hottest day of the year, and we were their third move of the day, but the three guys that helped us move in were All-Stars! They had great attitudes and worked hard, non-stop. We had to encourage them to take a water break, they were so intent on getting the job done in a timely fashion. Moving from out of state, this was a great introduction to the Detroit area!

Mr Booker and his team are THE BEST! They communicated about the project, showed up on time, had a great attitude (even though it was a challenging move) and treated our property with care and respect. I highly recommend using this company if the opportunity arises.

PLZ MOVE was AWESOME!!! They 3 guys that helped were VERY hard workers, and they moved extremely fast. One of the guys noticed a hornets nest in my tree the size of a basketball and even removed it for me. I would HIGHLY RECCOMEND PLZ Move for any move, and will 100% use them in the future.

Norris and Jason of Grade A Movers were good at their job. They were also very polite and thoughtful. Both men were very, very careful to place our furniture in the Pod in the best way possible, and when there was something that they felt would not be fit for the pod – they made it very clear. When we empty our pod, we will definitely be calling them back. Thank you so much!
