|---|---|---|
| Independence, LA | $443.94 | $1,160.56 |

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.

John and Spencer were absolutely wonderful. Their work was perfect and they were kind, friendly and very professional. Will certainly tell the world!!!
They were on time, got to work, made recommendations, worked hard, were very polite and got the job done. I haven't moved in quite a long time and underestimated the job; they stayed to finish with no complaining. I'd use them again and would recommend them with no hesitation. Thanks!
Chrishon and his helper did a great job. They packed up a 15' uhaul with care and organization. They went to a second location to complete the packing and were still done ahead of schedule. I would highly recommend them.
These guys were a few minutes late but let us know they were on their way. They worked hard and fast. They had everything unloaded and put together and in place in 3 hours. They didn’t hit one wall in our new home and were very polite.
The two men "Labor Ready" scheduled to assisted me in Baton Rouge, Louisiana were great. They arrived 15 minutes early and worked right up to the last minute. It was very hot and these guys really worked hard for me. They asked questions when unsure how to proceed. I'd recommend Labor Ready and use them again if needed.....THANK YOU!!!!
They were on time. Very friendly and communicated well with us throughout their time. Very hard workers! Respectful of us and our belongings! I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others!
Tony and Brian arrived early for the job. They were prepared, polite, energetic, and very careful with some pieces of furniture that were "special" to me. They completed the job in the alloted time. I would definitely use Big Boys Moving again.
The guys were 5 minutes late, but no big deal. They started right in and worked hard for 4 hours with just a couple 5 minute breaks. I'm going to move the rest of my stuff in a month and I will definitely use them again for that move. Great job!
The two young men who came to do the move was polite, nice, friendly, they did the job with speed, care and were very efficient. The one thing that bothered me was they were late. I am shocked with the people whom I worked with during this move were all late. Every single one of them, and what is bad about that is the attitude that so what. It is rude, inconsiderate, and bad work ethics.
They arrived on time. They were courteous and patient. Were thoughtful carefully handled the fragile items. I would use them again if there it is needed. I would also recommend D S Movers to others.
The movers were on time and worked quick and efficiently. The helped pack and unload the POD’s and each time the did it in less time than allotted. I will use the again and highly recommend them.
The workers arrived on time, were friendly, energetic and went straight to business. They cleaned up and made sure that everything was complete before they left.
