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.

294 Galesburg Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,901 verified customer reviews
Arrived on time and got right to work. Loaded my truck and were finished before the 2 hours has passed. There was no damage to the furniture when the furniture arrived in Virginia.
Worked very hard, even in the extreme heat. Only issue I had was they were quite late showing up, and the people showed up to pick up the pods before they were done. Would hire them again though.
The two men who moved my things out of the house were so friendly and professional. I highly recommend them to everyone. Will be using them again when it is time to move back into the new home
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 young men were on time and ready to work. After an overview of the house they moved everything into the rooms as designated. They handled all goods with care and would not hesitate to use them again.
We more stairs to work with than I had originally considered when I set up the appointment but they worked through the changes and were a great help. they were on time ready to work and took good care of our property. I would use them again, but I hope I don't have to move again for a long time
They came exactly when they said they would, were very friendly, and did the job quickly and competently without damaging anything. Excellent service.
Our crew ran a little late due to a fender bender. (It give give us a bit more time to pack.) Hard working, accomodating, and polite. Yes, we would use them again and recommend them to others. Thanks.
They did an excellent job with packing our rented Penske truck. They did a great job using the furniture pads that we rented and nothing was damaged during transit. Only complaint is that they had trouble finding the location and we’re late since instructions that were given to their coordinator weren’t relayed to the helpers.
They did a excellent job. They arrived on time and were will prepared. They were very careful with my furniture and packed everyone well. They worked hard and moved quickly..I highly recommend them and would definitely used them again.
I would definitely recommend hiring this company again ! The guys were very professional , courteous, and very careful with my furniture . It was raining and they made sure to put down runners on the floor . Thank you!
These gentlemen went above and beyond for my mother and I. We had people sick in the home and they handled everyone and everything with care! Thank you so much for everything!!!
