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.

Responsive, helpful and careful with our antique pieces. They asked about placement and helped me with the set up of our bed. They were respectful of our home and of us. They were focused and finished unloading with time to spare. Very nice young men. I would recommend the service.
These guys were great! Carl and Chris did more than job description; they brought the furniture and boxes to the labeled rooms and then arranged it according to our wishes. We didn't expect that but they insisted on helping that much. Were cordial and respectful; smiling and cheerful! Two very good men!
The guys were there right at 8:00am, they were friendly, helpful and worked hard in this heat! I’m so glad I hired them and would absolutely do it again! Thanks!
They were amazing, dedicated, excessively careful, very professional, & at all times considerate & thoughtful in handling my belongings! They performed a 3-D spatial Jenga juggling act to not only perfectly balance & tie down the load, but also make every last item fit in the POD (a huge gift)! I couldn't be happier, & I highly recommend my team to anyone moving, near or far.
Drew and JoJo did an amazing job. Professional and friendly and I would hire them again in a minute. Great company, on time and treated our furniture and items as if they were their own.
Doug anhis sons were excellent. Thoughtful of my items, and cleaning their feet, from any items from walking on a damp sidewalk. I was blown away for how caring they were of my items. I plan to use Doug and his sons this summer, for I have items in Marshfield Missouri. Their kindness will be forever grateful for how caring they were........Thanks!!!!!
Hard workers-only had them move the heavy suff. They were were about 45 min late because of road closures and traffic. They were very careful with every item they moved.
Keishon & Javeion were the answer to our prayers. They had a difficult truck to unpack and were so fabulous! These young men were absolutely amazing. You will be so pleased and satisfied, like I am, with their work ethic. I highly recommend them.
Melancon Moving is a family owned and operated company. They did a fabulous job. They wrapped my valuables with care. They packed the POD very securely and efficiently. Highly recommended!
My movers (Dave and his partner) were on time. They were nice wnd super efficient; they emptied my upack pod in 40 mins going up and down 3 flights of stairs. They were respectful of both me and my property. I will definately use them again.
They were fantastic and we will use them again. Our movers were on time and prepared for job. They were respectful of our property and worked very hard. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!
Doug and his crew are amazing at what they do, as well as amazing professional compassionate human beings. Having just had surgery, I was not able to do what I had hoped to accomplish myself. But these guys came in and saved the day. Every once in a while an experience restores faith in the human race. This was definitely one of those times. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!!!!’
