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 Howard, MD

In Howard labor-only moving help typically costs between $350.37 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 $77.72 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.

The crew from Samuel Services showed up early and didn't let up until everything was moved. They took good care of our belongings, were courteous, and communicated clearly. I will definitely look to hire Samuel Services the next time I need something moved.

The movers they sent were on time and the company took into account my request for them to arrive as early as possible. The movers were quick and very cooperative and protected my furniture from the bad weather (it rained the whole day) while offloading them at the new place. Great job

The helpers were both on time and went to work right away getting our belongings into the container. The packer was amazing and was great at securing our belongings inside the container for secure shipment. I would highly recommend John and his team.

Great service that really saved our butts. This move would not have been possible with their quick response to set up a move after our other movers canceled a week before our move. The guys were nice, helpful, followed directions well, and got the job done quicker than we expected!

Tommy and Neuby (sp?) were fantastic!! They got the job done quickly and efficiently, even in pouring rain. Plus, DMV Discount Moving & Cleaning was a life saver as the original moving company (Key Movers) canceled on me 2 days before my move date. I was moving across the country from Denver, CO to Baltimore, MD. I can't thank them enough for pulling through for me in a pinch.

The crew was two men, the younger guy did most of the work. I think they could have finished the job in the allotted time had the older guy assisted with more of the work. They were; however, very friendly and followed directions well amidst a chaotic move. Definitely worth the cost of not having to move everything alone.

Joe and Mike were exceptional. They arrived early, were professional, efficient, extremely patient and willing to do what was necessary to get the job done. In our case that meant fitting a large sofa into a tiny elevator and a slightly less than standard door frame. Those two men were troopers! I also appreciate the positive attitude they both maintained throughout the move.
