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.

This team was absolutely amazing!! They were quick, careful and so respectful while unloading and placing our things. Johnny and his crew were absolutely top notch and I would definitely use them all again!
Just had this crew load and unload a 26’ truck and storage unit. Very polite, courteous and careful with our furniture. Showed up on time and kept us up to date with time of arrival. Flexible on extra time needed. I could go on but it’s not necessary just give them a try. Move from Russellville al to Madison al.
The Clay and Jamie were a little early, professional, and efficient. My only complaint is that they could have done a better job packing the pod. There were gaps left in the pod and more items could fit inside.
OMG, the best! On time. Worked so hard despite the heat, no complaining... Just did what we asked and got the job done! Very careful with our stuff. Would definitely hire them again! Highly recommend.
The movers were on time and well prepared for the job. They did excellent work and I would highly recommend them for any moving jobs you may need. They were very respectful, professional, and courteous.
The two fellows were professional and worked hard unpacking the truck. They were careful will the items and placed them where requested. Overall, they exceeded my expectations. The two arrived on time, were prepared for the work and completed the work. I would use them again.
Johnny was the first mover I have had who could take my large dining room table apart to move into the house! He was a very skilled mover! They were all wonderful, very efficient and treated my household items with care and due diligence! Would hire them again for any future moves!!
I give this company a 5 star rating. They arrived on time loaded truck professionally. They then followed me for my 23 mile move and unloaded my truck. I would highly recommend them to make anyone's move. I have moved 3 times in the last 6 years and this company was the best of all the moving labor help I have used.
Fabulous movers- fast efficient and didn't harm a thing! Always looking for the best way to move things...unloaded a 26 ft truck with my son and grandson in less than 2 hours. No loafing around for this company- Communication was right on target and they were prepared to work when they drove up!! Definitely recommend them!
Dalton was very knowledgeable and all of the movers were courteous and worked hard. They had to move my 1,000 pound piano and not only did an excellent job, they were very careful with it and paid special attention to not scrape or hit any doorways as they moved it. Thank you very much for your service!
We had a great team from Sebastian Moving Tennessee. Team leader Carl and his crew (Brian, Isaiah and Colton) worked tirelessly. They unloaded 4 fully packed PODS ahead of schedule. They treated our belongings with special care, and put everything in the appropriate room. All four young men were polite and enjoyable to work with. We would definitely use them again!!
On time, communicated well on the phone. The "new" guy was not a mental giant, but a very polite, VERY hard worker. Learning fast from the veteran mover that was using "teachable moments" to train the young guy. The worked fast, handled heavy loads with ease and expertise. A dynamic duo!
