The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Full-service is definitely more convenientābut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Jacksonville, NC | $335.09 | $1,066.95 |
| North Carolina | $407.80 | $1,066.95 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $335.09 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Jacksonville, NC, with an average hourly rate of $81.98. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

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 movers did a great job unloading the truck in a timely manner. They also did a great jod putting together my furniture. They worked hard and were respectful of our property. I would use them again.
They arrived when they said they would and went right to work. I was very impressed and would definitely hire them again. I also would recommend them to anyone.
These guys showed up on time and worked hard the entire time. I had two workers for three hours. On my move, I was under time constraints, so I had to make sure the movers showed up. Their previous reviews are why I chose this company. It was not inexpensive, but certainly worth it!!
These guys were awesome, showed up on time with less than 24 hours notice and unloaded three vehicles in under three hours! Extremely professional, polite and helpful with my move. Highly recommend.
Thank you so much for helping on such short notice. On-time and ready to go. The guys were great and got the truck and trailers all unloaded in 2 hours. I paid for 4 hours, but you guys kicked butt. If you need help in a pinch Cape Fear Provisioners of NC LLC are my recommendation. Thanks again! Mike
Kevin kept me informed as the day approached and was so efficient. I hope to not move any time soon but I would use the Johnson team again!! Keep up the good work, Cheers!
These four young men were delightful! They knew their assignment and performed it beautifully. Such strong gentlemen. Thank your for your organized, professional help.
Good Day, The Team of Gentlemen who assisted me yesterday (Nov. 15) were outstanding! Extremely professional the entire time and eased some of the stress that comes with moving. They essentially pack a 3 bedroom out into a moving truck with the type of precision you may see on the video game “Tetris!” Amazing job gentleman my family and I appreciate you all.
Hard working unpacking. They did a good job. Only thing is, that out of all the times we have moved in the last 40 years they have always had hand dollies for different sized boxes. This saves a lot of time when you have 2 hand trucks moving. But they did work very well and polite and handled our belongings well.
The Helper Crew was on time, and went to work wrapping and packing our Kitchen. All Household Goods were handled in a professional manner. The Rental Pod was staged, and handled expertly. One of the workers had claimed over 12 years experience with a Local Mover. We strongly recommend them.
Two fine, strong, personable men showed up a couple of minutes before the beginning hour of the window of time requested. They worked hard and were very respectful of the items being moved. They finished all the move in the original time requested. I would use them again.
Jared and his team were amazing!! They were on time, polite, worked quickly but carefully with our items. I highly recommend them and would definitely use them again!
