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. 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 less expensive.

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 Gardner, IL

In Gardner labor-only moving help typically costs between $326.70 and $693.69. 

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 $84.28 an hour.

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.

Chris did an awesome job! He took extra care and time to ensure all of my furniture would make the move unscathed. He was personable and made moving from a divorce less stressful!

We hired Victor and team to load a Pod for us. They came ready to work and wasted no time. It was hot and we had a lot of stuff but they did a great job. I was very impressed with the professional loading of the Pod. Amazing how much they fit. They were on time and communicated with me on arrival time. Overall they were a pleasure to work with and would highly recommend.
