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.

So impressed with the men who moved my heavy piece of furniture. All were prompt, professional, and courteous. No wasted time - and knew what they were doing and how to move furniture safely and securely. Would definitely recommend them.
Donald and Chris were wonderful. Very respectful and efficient. They took care of our furnishings as if it were their own. We look forward to working with them again Friday July 12.
30 minutes late but, OK. They made up with their work. 3 hours non stop Very friendly and professional 2 of the nicest gentlemen I’ve ever met. They are a great asset to your company
They were absolutely wonderful. They were very accommodating with my requests and made moving a breeze! I could not recommend them more! When moving use East Flow Movers and you won’t be disappointed!
They were on time and prepared for the job. They worked extremely hard and I appreciate them getting the job done in 2 hours. As I only budgeted for that amount of service time. I would use them again... Thanks Again Rainey Relocation Service.
They did an amazing job! If you’re in Louisiana, I definitely recommend Porch Moving Group! They went above and beyond and got things done quick! Best movers I’ve had
I was amazed I could schedule them only 12 hours before I needed the help. They arrived on time. They were very professional. Finished the job promptly. I'll be hiring them next time we move.
They were here about the time they said they would be. They were prepared for the job and worked hard throughout the time they were here. Would use them again. More could been placed in pod but they said were not aware that the pod would not be transported. Overall they were good.
Outstanding! On time, went over and above assisting us in our move. Helpful advice, knowledgeable, friendly, super hard-working and always with a smile! I would highly recommend them!
Excellent job! We were unsure if everything would go but James and Crystal did a fantastic job on getting everything loaded. I would not want to play Tetris with them! Thanks!
Nola movers were excellent!! Showed up and got right to work, even finished in under the quoted time! They worked their butt off, were professional and very efficient! Two thumbs, way up- best money I've ever spent!
They did a great job! They were on time and ready to work when they arrived. They were also able to accommodate having to load at two separate locations, which was very helpful for us. Would highly recommend and use again!
