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.

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 Homer, IL

In Homer 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 $93.68 an hour.

Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Homer is what we’re here for.

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.

Joe and Jonathan arrived early and finished early. Very efficient, fully capable, respectful, made any adjustments I requested. Two fine young men who are a distinct credit to their company. I would surely ask for them again if the occasion arises.

Brian and Jarred did a great job unloading our belongings from truck to storage to home. They took the time they needed to get the storage area organized so we can work with it in the future. They were very aware and respectful of our needs. They helped put a "good" ending on a very stressful move. Thank you so much!! Ted and Abigail Mathewson

Friendly and efficient. Called me the day after I booked them and figured out what time I wanted them there instead of relying on the one hour window. Moved everything out of my apartment and into a moving truck in less than two hours and in the rain.

I hired them for loading my moving truck. Chris and James were right on time and they came prepared. They loaded my items quickly while still taking enough time to make sure that nothing would break or get bumped. The way they loaded the truck, nothing broke or shifted during the drive. They were also very friendly. Great job - would definitely hire them again!
