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.

The Cost of Moving in Kankakee, IL
In Kankakee labor-only moving help typically costs between $326.70 and $693.69.
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 $73.97 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.

The crew at Logan Lift Services were professional, effective, and efficient with the process of moving all of my belonging into the POD. I would highly recommend them to anybody looking to move.
These guys hustled their butts off, we’re courteous and careful to protect walls from scuffs and items being moved. Used them for my move out into storage containers, and now using them again for my move in activities
Our team of movers were AWESOME. They arrived early, worked diligently and exhibited superior customer service. Though we didn’t have all the boxes taped and ready, they were patient and helpful. I would not only recommend, but would hire again!
They worked hard and fast. They did knick a couple of freshly painted walls. They apologized which we appreciated, but we will need to do some touch ups. Would still recommend them. Very polite young men.
Third move using Logan Lift Express and I couldn’t recommend them enough for how much work and effort they put in to my new home move from my temporary apartment. Very quick and helped me with additional items that needed help and unloaded very quickly into my rented truck. Chris the supervisor has done every move and made sure to bring his best guys for the job
They were on time, ready to start working and they handled everything very carefully. They assembled our bed and made sure everything was placed as we wanted. I highly recommend Logan Lift!
These guys are amazing! They worked very fast and efficient and took great care of our stuff when bringing it in. 10/10 would recommend these guys to anyone!
Both movers did a great job they were fast and efficient, they were able to pack the moving pod very neatly and nice without nothing being damaged. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Great service and great job!!!
This was a really great team!! On time, communicated and really led the entire process!! Helped load up my pod and even packed things that were still out. I will definitely call for my unload!! Thanks so much for calming my moving fears!
Three men arrived at my house to move furniture out of my house and into a PODS container in my driveway. They were efficient and hard working. They treated my belongings with care, ensuring that everything was loaded securely. I was very impressed with everything about the job they did. I highly recommend HIRE A HELPER for all your moving and loading needs.
