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.

102 Gaston Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,449 verified customer reviews
If there were more than 5 stars to give, I would've definitely given it to the 4 guys that helped me load a 3 BR House. They were professional, courteous, careful, and FAST! They fit 10lbs of stuff in a 5lb bag for sure! I bet there wasn't 10sq ft of available space after the truck was loaded... I definitely cannot say enough good things about these guys. They are VERY good at what they do!
Joe, kept in contact with me, he was very respectful as well. They worked hard and got the moving done on time. I will hire them again. During my move and when I need help with moving heavy items at my house. Hire a helper is a great service for those that are older and can not move heavy furniture. Thank you
Elvis and his crew were terrific! They achieved the move in record time, with good attitudes and attention to detail. I would highly recommend them for any move.
Our perfect gentlemen arrived on time and ready to work. They were awesome. They had to disassemble three beds and a dining room table and were very cautious with all items. Our Nordic Track treadmill was not easy for them but they did not give up and never a cross word was spoken. They had great manners and attitude. We will most certainly use them again.
They were late arriving to the job by about 30 minutes, but once they were both there they got right work. They apparently had everything they needed for the job, because I don't know how they would have gotten so much stuff onto that POD otherwise. They treated my property like the paying customer l was. I would use Tip Top Mover again and recommend that others also give them a try as well.
These two young men were on time. They were complete professionals. They were cheerful, friendly, knowledgeable and hard working young men. I absolutely would use them again, and have already given the Moving Engineers and Logistics information to Beck Estate Sales. These two were really impressive! Boyd & Renny Cave Bon Air, VA
they did awsome job especially considering the heat that day.the lead man joe was exceptional.if anyone needs help in the roanoke rapids,nc area ask for joe
They were here early and got right to work. They were courteous and respectful to me and the property. They were efficient and well organized in their process. I would definitely hire them again.
They were great. They were careful with my possessions and put together the bed and mirror on dresser. They unwrapped all the packing materials on the furniture and placed everything where we wanted.
I felt very comfortable from the minute they arrived till the minute they left. They were professional and respectful of me and my things. They were polite and helped with problem solving on the loading end of things. AND they worked HARD. Not a minute of down time. Not one complaint. Very relieved to have had these two helpers at the loading end of the move.
Professional demeanor at all times. Showed great care with all my possessions. Handled all of my questions and concerns. Were always courteous and communicated effectively. Responded to all of my requests without question and completed all tasks exactly the way I asked.
Hired two guys for 3 hours for a 2400 sq. ft house to pack three 16 ft PODS. They were done in 2.5 hours and got everything in 2 PODS! Highly recommend!
