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 Gainesville, NY

In Gainesville labor-only moving help typically costs between $364.81 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 $88.45 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 Gainesville 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.

WNY movers did a phenomenal job. They worked very hard and were gentle with our furniture. we were concerned about the amount of space in our trailer but they packed everything expertly and we ended up having extra space when we were done! They helped take apart our furniture and strap it down for a secure move. We were very impressed and thankful to have them. Would use them again.

We have moved across country twice now and have used several different moving companies in the past. By far this was the easiest and quickest move into our house. We asked to have 3 movers and were quite surprised when 4 showed up. We thought that the move would take several hours and everything got moved into our house in about 2 hours. We would recommend them in a heart beat.
