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.

Lamont and Lester were terrific! Arrived on time, careful with furniture AND our freshly remodeled house. Not a scratch or ding anywhere. I would definitely recommend a dude them again myself..
Bryce and Kelly were awesome and unloaded my shipping containers, taking care to deliver every item to the right location in the house, in record speed. Would definitely recommend them to anyone wanting help with a move here in the Kalamazoo area!
Outstanding Service Provider! Arrived early, worked efficiently and at all times professional. AAA wrapping and loading. Cleaned up after, and were extremely polite. WOULD DXEFINETLY USE AGAIN! HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO OTHERS!! THANKS!!!
Hire a helper was amazing! The guys did great work, kept in contact with me and made my move way less stressful. The call center was great, as well. Very understanding and were very professional. Thank you for making my move easy!
Muscle Men helped to move a very fine bedroom suiite from a home to my home. The mattress itself weighed at least 200 pounds. They provided protection for the cabinets and everything arrived in perfect condition. They helped set up the bed and placed all the cabinets. I strongly recommend this company.
Omarion, Christopher, & Dejuan were fantastic. The crew arrived between the estimated arrival time. They were respectful, moved with purpose, and efficient. This was an overall great experience!
They communicated before the arrival…they let me reschedule when my Pod. arrived days late. They were very professional and friendly….arrived on time and were experts at packing that Pod! I would highly highly recommend the company and my packers, Anthony and Malcom! Very respectful, knowledgeable, professional and friendly!
I would definitely recommend A.B. Industries, LLC. The movers (Joe and Steve) were on-time, respectful, and hard-working. They packed my POD very efficiently and were complete under the estimated time frame. If I were to move from Kalamazoo again, I would definitely request their services.
The helpers that were hired from A.B. Industries were very professional. They took care into moving my things without damaging anything. They also were very good at utilizing the space in the rental truck. I would hire these guys for another job for sure if I needed help in the Portage Michigan area again or if someone I knew was looking for help.
They were on time, worked hard, were careful packing and moving items. I would definitely use them again. One of the movers was more experienced than the other but was careful to advise and guide when needed. They were great overall!
Marty and his team were great. Very good customer service - called to confirm, kept an eye on the weather, was flexible, timely, helpful, and polite.
Arrived Early! Personally introduced themselves. All had great attitudes and asked if we had special instructions for them. Worked well as a team and finished the job early! I would not hesitate to use this service again. Great Job Guys!
