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. 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 less expensive.

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 Kalama, WA

In Kalama labor-only moving help typically costs between $342.13 and $757.32. 

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 $81.97 an hour.

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.

Dante and Josh are amazing highly skilled and talented. How they got all my stuff into my pod is a mystery. I was so nervous but they put me at ease quickly. I don’t normally write reviews, but they earned a glowing review.

The movers were on time as scheduled. The company reached out the day of the move to verify the time and address that we had scheduled. The unloaders were polite, professional, friendly and fast. Our property was treated with care and respect. I would definitely recommend this company.

Jose and Julio were great. Worked hard. Did some very difficult work with good humor. Packed the truck to perfection---I never thought all that stuff would go in and fully expected to have to hire a second vehicle, but they made it work. Everything, including a TV and a Very large framed picture arrived safe and sound. I'm doing another move in a few weeks and plan to ask for them again.
