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 Ionia, MI

In Ionia labor-only moving help typically costs between $343.87 and $687.19. 

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 $80.93 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Ionia 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.

The two young men were very professional. We worked well together and completed the job on time. Marty was very polite, flexible and understanding during the scheduling process. That helps when you are already overwhelmed with the logistics of a big move. Appreciate the mission this company served.

We were very impressed with the two young men who moved my daughter into her new appartment in Grand Rapids (Bryce was one). They arrived when they said they would and they worked quickly and efficiently. They were friendly and helpful and were done in the allotted time we had requested. We would definitely use your service again!!
