|---|---|---|
| Huntsville, TN | $447.91 | $1,172.60 |

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, it's considerably more affordable.

The move was a mess... the trailer showed up without a ramp, but this didn't stop the team that arrived.. They hand unloaded everything from the trailer and everything moved quickly and smoothly.
This couldn’t have been easier! I scheduled this remotely. Everything confirmed and help arrived as scheduled. Super hard working and nice help. Job well done! Highly recommend.
Great job by crew provided. They were on time, got to work immediately and had no issues with directions for separation of goods as they were unloaded and finished right on time working at a good pace entire time. I will definitely use them in the future.
They were on time, and prepared for the unload. Worked extremely hard and very respectful of my property. They took shoes off inside due to mud and rain. I would definitely use again.
I would highly recommend Perkins Packing and Moving through Hire a Helper. TJ and Micah did a fantastic job loading our 26 ft. U-Haul truck. I had a 2 bedroom apartment with a flight of stairs and they got everything loaded with a few minutes of the 3 hours to spare. They arrived on time, they were polite, they were respectful of my things and very professional. I would definitely use them again.
Arrived 45 minutes late; did call that they were running late. Worked hard to move difficult items without any damage to house. Could have used a couple of more straps. Claimed that description of work that I had provided to Hire a Helper had not been shared with them. Helpful to the fullest extent possible. Courteous and easy to work with. Yes, I would use them again.
Team was professional, courteous and answered my questions. Would highly recommend PODS and Perkins. Sixteen foot POD container was loaded in requested time frame.
Our movers were extremely professional and were great to work with! They arrived on time and took a lot of care in making sure that our belongings were loaded safely and securely. They were very efficient and stuck to our time limits. We would definitely recommend them and use them again!
Amazing guys! We moved from Texas to TN and it has been the most stressful move. These guys literally made all of that stress go away! Definitely using them again with the next move!
The trucking company was a day late delivering the trailer. Moving Boys agreed to come the next day - after another move. The team was great, worked tirelessly. And carefully handled heavy and fragile items. The guys were great and we plan to use them again with another load.
We contracted for 3 helpers, only two were able to come. They were great, staying until the job was completely done. We can't say enough good things about how hard Eric and Dan worked and how careful they were with our belongings.
Perkins crew were outstanding. They were prompt , courteous, respectful of property. They worked hard, quickly, constantly, and asked questions instead of making assumptions. They never stopped moving and were actually done a bit early. I would, without reservation, utilize or refer Perkins moving to anyone!
