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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 328,171 verified customer reviews
Good communications before and during the move. Arrived on time, worked constantly. Nothing damaged or broken. Very courteous and helpful. They removed and replaced screen door closers and made sure everything was moved where we needed it. I have no reservation about referring them to a friend or using them again in the future. I really appreciated their help and service.
The two gentlemen did an excellent job. They very helpful and courteous. We planned on four hours and made it in less than three. Can’t say enough about how great they did. Thank you so much for everything!
They were on time, prepared and worked hard on a very hot day. They brought up anything that would be of concern. It took them 1 hour to unload the pod. They were paid for up to 2 hours.
Our Crew4 crew showed up timely and worked tirelessly for 8 hours straight. Hardly took time to eat or drink. They were courteous and respectful of our property. We were very pleased and thankful to get such a hard working crew. Highly recommend !
The workers were very knowledgeable on how to pack the pod. I could not believe that they got two bedroom sets, sectional, dining room table, end tables, bags of clothing, odds and ends. Everything in the pod and they were very careful not to scratch anything. I would recommend this crew to anyone in need of packing!
2 young guys arrived on time and went right to work wrapping and loading the Uhaul....it was a horribly hot humid day but they did very well despite the weather! we did have cold bottled water for them tho and they sure appreciated that....job well done!
Very respectful. Called to verify time and we're going to be running a little late. Called often to update me and were there At the time they gave me. I had quite a few glass items- large curio cabinet and an antique China closet and they handled them with great care. Placed items where I asked and asked what else they could do for me!
On time arrival. Very efficient and friendly. Intelligent packing/loading with an amazing use of truck space. All stayed in place over bumpy NY and PA roads.
Arrived within window. Very knowledgeable about packing for long distance move. Worked very hard and efficiently. Were careful with fragile and odd-shaped items. Would definitely use John and Joel again.
We're told upfront that we had enough space in the truck for all our furniture since we needed space at the end to pick-up belongings in N.C.. Well we ran out of space and it took the two man crew three additional hours to pack us, which cost us over $400.00 in additional cost. The two crew I will say worked hard the entire time, although they could used additional help.
Best money I have ever spent. I mean it if you are moving and can afford it spending money on movers saved so much stressed and ache. Turned moving a house to just worrying about unpacking the boxes.
Our two-man crew showed up on time and were absolutely wonderful. They were professional, personable, and did all the work. They didn’t blink an eye at the stairs and walkway to our unit. I would recommend them without hesitation and call them again if I needed moving services. It was a last-minute job, too, and they squeezed us right in. Great crew, great company!
