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. 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 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 more affordable.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in Highwood, IL
In Highwood labor-only moving help typically costs between $430.66 and $530.50.

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.
Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
Highwood, IL | $237.80 | $1,281.00 |
Illinois | $334.39 | $833.89 |
The United States | $356.65 | $821.07 |

These guys were phenomenal! They were the kindest people you could meet, took great care of my items, and had a smile on their face the whole time. Highly recommend! I will definitely use them again!
Wonderful people! They were on time and were there to WORK! They worked hard, got it done fast, and were still careful of all items. Their website showed that they didn’t have dolly’s or wrapping materials, but they had both with them. Quintin and Jedson were amazing!! Nice and hard workers! Would definitely hire them again for my next move.
Akeem & Mike knocked it out of the park - so professional, hustled like no other and made the process so seamless and fun with their upbeat personalities! They’re my hero’s and couldn’t do this move without them. HIGHLY RECOMMEND…ask for Akeem & Mike! OUTSTANDING!
Victor and AJ were excellent! They arrived a few minutes early, worked very quickly and efficiently, even working around us still packing and preparing furniture. They also had great, clear communication in deciding how best to make the most of their time.
They were so incredible moving my entire life up 3 stories. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did. These three men were amazing and I’m so grateful for them! I highly recommend them because if they can do this, they can move anything
A great group of men did a great job helping me move my mom’s thing out of her retirement home. They were very kind and respectful and completed the job within the original time quoted. Thank you for a great experience at a rough time for our family really appreciated their kindness! Thank you!
Bryant and Dean were great. Communicated with no issues leading up to the move, and once we started, they were happy to deal with my housings HOA moving restrictions. Cool guys to work with, great job, I’d work with the again.
Trent and Paul were amazing!! They packed the container very skillfully!! I couldn’t believe how much they got in there!! I will request them when I load the second container!! Thank you!! Debbie
Very professional, courteous, and efficient! They packed up the storage pod in amazing time and were very prompt and great communicators. I highly recommend Quintin and Jetson and J.C. Movers!
Extremely efficient work! Lots of helpers and did a great job navigating four flights. A few dings on furniture as they were working quickly but nothing major. Hakim & his team are great!
very good experience with s&l. the crew was on time, well prepared and extremely careful. i was especially impressed with the care and expertise with which our two pods were packed. items were loaded in a thoughtful manner such that the space was efficiently used and all items were secure from shifting. i would not hesitate to recommend this company. very professional.
They did a fabulous job unloading a 12 foot moving truck to a one bedroom apartment on. 93 degree day. They treated everything with care and helped set things up in the appropriate places in the apartment. Will definitely hire them next time I need movers.
