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.

Both young men were AWESOME!! I was in complete panic mode when they arrived and they immediately put me at ease. They reassured me that yes, I had a big enough truck, they would handle everything from here on out and told me to relax. They expressed their condolences for my Dad dying recently and they understood how hard this move was for me. They not only provided muscle, they came with kindness, professionalism, and respectful of not only me and all my friends here , but to all of my things they moved. They wrapped and tied down and packed that truck like BOSSES!! Thank you so much and I can’t thank you enough for such good service. I would recommend them to anyone that asked!
Justin and Joseph arrived on time and went right to work. Unloaded the Pod with care and efficiency. Then, helped me load some heavy timbers into the back of my truck. Would hire them again in a second.
I would hire this crew again to move anything I had. They took care of my furniture and property better than I did when I loaded the truck. The value was well worth it in back saving pain. Great job.
Gave and sons came through on a days notice. Booked for two hours and they loaded and unloaded where we needed under the two hour booking. Andrew, Josh and Oscar were extremely courteous and went above all expectations. A great team of men and represented the company extremely well.
We have used Simple Moving Solutions for two prior moves and just as before they did a great job. Very professional and courteous. I would use them again and again.
Just a few minutes late but called early to let me know when they would be here. Arrived when they said they would and went straight to work! Got the job done on time and were very professional. Would definitely recommend and use again.
The guys were on time and ready to go. Very fast and extremely attentive to our needs. We had more than would fit but they worked with us to leave out only what we could wait for, and that POD was PACKED!! Awesome job!
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Lamar.
The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All Lamar movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
