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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 336,006 verified customer reviews
I had a fantastic experience both times I used ARMS. Everyone showed up on time and worked hard to get everything done. I'd definitely use them again.
Loaded my uhaul perfectly even the large pieces. Courteous and professional. I'm a single woman, and they made me feel very comfortable. Great job guys! Marshall checked in with me to make sure I knew exactly what to expect. I'm a happy customer.
We hired two movers for two hours, and rented our truck through Uhaul. We thought we got too small of a truck, but one of the guys was something of a Tetris master and the two of them got it all in and well secured. Everything remained secure and in place for the 2 hour drive. Everything went smoothly.
Four fellas arrived on time, were careful with our items and home and were very respectful and polite. The project was completed in three hours and after a searching walk tru to make certain that they had loaded everything that we had asked that they load, shook hands and wished us safe travels. What more can you ask for?
The two guys who helped us with our local move were extremely professional and efficient! Totally worth the money for a few extra hands. When we got to our new place, we were able to go over the lease with our landlady, etc. while the movers unloaded our Uhaul. I would highly recommend Mack's Moving Company.
My guys were great.. they did a terrific job and had everything done in 1.5 hrs. I would definitely and highly recommend your service to my friends. In fact my friend Bill is going to use your service.. thanks so much..
Mike and Rick did a great job! We were very happy with the help we got from these two guys. They were quick up a full flight of stairs, they never complained, and everything was moved in no time at all. I would highly recommend.
On time and helpful. The only thing that I wish was different was the 2 hour minimum. I only needed help with a dresser and a mattress but they were extremely helpful.
Good communication with the owner/boss. Movers got things done, were "on time" as in the range I was given, they were prepared as they brought their muscles but no moving straps or anything, they worked pretty hard (maybe not killed themselves), very respectful and good guys, and yes, I'd use them again.
Those guys were amazing! How they fit all they stuff in the pod is truly a miracle. They also were very nice, pleasant to work with and very professional. Thanks for being there to help us. Mary Ann Green
Four great young men ..very directible, polite and productive. Zack was amazing at organizing the truck so that more items could fit! We actually got done faster than I expected. Nice job guys! Would hire again. :)
They were 15 minutes late due to traffic but called to let us know. Daniel and his colleague were professional but friendly and extremely accommodating. In fact, in addition to moving in our new appliance, they removed the packing and packaging and carried out the dunnage! We would highly recommend A.R.M.S.!

One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
