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 Germantown, MD

In Germantown labor-only moving help typically costs between $463.81 and $376.90. 

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 $73.63 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.

Great duo of guys who moved everything swiftly and without damaging anything. They were very communicative throughout the whole process. My only two criticisms were that they arrived 30 minutes late and they were conscious to not put their bare hands on the TV screen.

The three movers, Mike, Jabran and Henry, were on time, worked incredibly hard and were patient with us as we had a number of last minute decisions about where the big pieces went. My wife and I really appreciated their attitude the whole time, cheerful and all in an already hot Saturday morning.

These guys were professional with introducing themselves and reminding me of the 2 hr timeline with attention to detail at the POD and then asking me to view the contents to assure me the job was packed tight. These men then kindly asked for a review showcasing their work was timely and efficient. Thank you so much for a worry free experience !

Very fast, accommodating, respectful. If I’d had a bigger truck, they’ve been done in less than two hours. However, we had to wait for my daughter to arrive with a trailer on the back of her car. And they were still done within the two hour time period. Highly recommend.
