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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Peyton and Zack were exceptional!!! They arrived on time and quickly loaded their truck and delivered our items to our new home. Both Gentlemen were very polite and friendly. I will certainly reach out to Bennetts Moving and Storage for future moving needs!
Our whole experience was great! They arrived earlier and ensured that the trailer already arrived. Very helpful and they unload everything with care. Will surely use again and recommend to others. Thank you so much!
They showed up a little bit early, (which was ideal, because rainy weather was on the way), and cheerfully hauled some pretty heavy stuff through muddy conditions. They fully unloaded my pod, (which I hadn’t thought possible), with zero damage to property. 10/10 would recommend and will probably retain their services in the future.
The men were very courteous and friendly. Took great care in moving everything into the house (hired for unloading only). Would highly recommend them!
Highly recommend this young crew of fine movers. They showed up on time and were able to unload the POD quicker than what I expected, I was very pleased with their work ethic and would definitely seek them out again on another move.
Had a issue with getting a truck that caused a huge delay in service, the first two guys who showed up appeared to be new and struggled a little bit. The last guy who showed up was professional and a hard worker. Overall would recommend
Great job. Arrived on time, very professional and courteous. Very careful with items unloaded and moved. Very careful with the house as well. Worked very efficiently and finished the job within the time planned. I would use Smart Move again!
Great guys! Arrived a little early, got right to work, did everything I asked quickly, then checked to make sure there was nothing else they could do. Very nice, polite, respectful and friendly. Absolutely would hire again and recommend them to someone needing assistance.
Although they were late, it wasn't due to them. They got stuck in traffic and called me to tell me. They did a fantastic job loading my things into the PODS I ordered. I would definitely recommend this service for anyone who is looking for help with a move.
These two arrived on time and hustled to get us packed up. They were respectful of my time and especially my things they were loading. And everything arrived in great shape…thank you for the expert truck loading!
Our two movers called in advance to confirm, showed up right on time and were careful with our belongings and efficient in packing our POD. Great job! Thanks!!
All three gentlemen were very productive and courteous. Steve, the team leader, did a great job organizing everything to maximize the space we have. Thank you!

HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it.

All Johnson City movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
