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, itās considerably more affordable.

Daniel and his team arrived early. His team began loading everything immediately. They worked fast and efficiently. The job was completed earlier than expected. Daniel and his team are truly Excellent Movers! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to my family and friends. Great job!!
Great experience. Hired 2 movers. Movers were on time. Sent text when they were close. Brought their own dolly. Treated my possessions gently. Fast,efficient & organized. Would hire again
They did a great job, utilized all the space in the trailer to make sure everything was loaded correctly and efficient. The two guys packed everything’s very well. I am very pleased. I would recommend.
The team at Superior Services did an amazing job loading and packing my storage container. They were communicative, friendly, efficient, and were able to solve every problem I had. I needed the house completely cleared in a few hours and they got it done when I didn’t think it was possible. I highly recommend this team and would absolutely hire them again!
Conrad and his helper worked incredibly hard and stayed past the time booked to get the job done. On past moves I paid more than double for five helpers at a big-name full-service company and was disappointed in that service. This team worked harder and took better care of my items than the big company. Would strongly recommend them!!
Jorge and the Thunderhorse did an absolute fantastic job packing and moving my home. The team worked hard, fast and carefully packed my belongings. I would recommend their work to anyone. Thank you Jorge for a job extremely well done!!!!
I was having a terrible move and then Brian and John showed up and saved the day. They were both polite, professional and put my mind at ease. They packed quickly, efficiently and did not go over the time that they said would. 5 stars. Would definitely do business again.
They did a good job, were very accommodating, on time, and were prepared. I only docked a star because we are missing a crucial piece of our couch, and our chair and bed were reassembled slightly incorrectly.
The team was quick and efficient moved our furniture with great care and even took care of some unusual moving of my potted cactus collection without damaging any of the plants I would recommend them highly
Jay and his crew were professional, kind, extremely hard-working very respectful of our home and made sure not to make any marks on the walls or floors. They communicated along the way to us. They were very flexible as we had to change our date several times due our pod being delayed. It was a pleasure doing business with Jay and his fellow mover.
Amazing job. Masters of tetris, they were able to fit in so many of our oddly shaped belongings in our ReloCube so perfectly. Amazing all around. Just incredible job!
Angel & his team are life saviors! I had only hours to get a truck packed to ship across the country before a flight. I booked them same day in the morning and they made it happen! Unbelievable service and highly professional! I can’t say enough about these guys. Do yourself a favor and book them!
