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.

All three gentlemen were courteous and professional. The items being moved were not organized or of the best condition (arts, crafts and keepsakes of an elderly women) these gentlemen treated each item as if it was there mothers. I was impressed when none of them showed a reaction when spiders and bugs were found. I would recommend these guys anytime. Thank you gentlemen.
