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 Lake, IL
In Lake labor-only moving help typically costs between $430.66 and $530.50.
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 $75.05 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.

We could not have been more pleased with the overall experience! From the upfront communications, the promptness of the (4) guys that showed up to their keenness of loading and unloading our moving truck. They were able to move items with no issues and look forward to using S & L Express Moving Services when we need them next!
These two were great to work with! Everything made it inside intact and where we wanted it. They were friendly and very efficient. Definitely would hire them again!
This was such an excellent experience. J and Richard were absolute all-stars. They were punctual and prepared. Worked extremely hard without taking breaks, insanely good at packing things in as efficient as possible while still keeping things safe from breaking. Would 100% recommend them!
