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 Lakeland, FL

In Lakeland labor-only moving help typically costs between $313.38 and $756.49. 

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 $78.64 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 two young men who came to my home were on time and prepared for the job. They were very friendly and worked hard. The reason I gave them 4 stars is because it was an 8X8 ft. POD, which didn’t require as much effort as a 8X16 ft. I wish them the best of luck in whatever they do in the future.

Matt and V were great! They were flexible with time due to using PODs, they were punctual, and were great about placing the items where we needed them to go. They worked very quickly and had the job done in no time. We have immediately re-booked them for the second part of our move because they were so excellent. Don’t hesitate, just go ahead and book them for the service you need.
