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.

Very professional, knowledgeable about trucks and trailers, disembarking a securely strapped in vehicle from the trailer. Very careful with my items, very respectable and quite the sense of humor. Thank you for these wonderful men.
Marc and Juan provided excellent service. Marc was immediately responsive in the setting up the move process, timely in arrival, prepped the house well to protect floors and walls and furniture,and worked efficiently and quickly while here. They were professional and helpful, and overall--just really nice guys! Thanks for the low stress move! Thanks! Lynne & Bernie
Michael, Angelo and Lemick from Hire a Helper (Cargo Moves) did a terrific job unloading 2 16-ft pods in under 4 hours. They helped assemble a 7 piece giant wall unit as well. They were courteous, respectful of my house & furnishings and worked incredibly hard. I’d use them again in a blink.
Not just in time, but asked if ok to come early. Completely prepared, ready to work, and worked hard. Very respectful of all property. Worked so efficiently and a pleasure to work with. Would use them again and recommend to everyone!
They were very on time. They were prepared for the job. They worked very precise to make sure that everything fit into the container. They were respectful to the property and the goods. I would use them again, for sure.
We were very pleased with the pod unloading service we received while moving into our new 2 level work live space. Both men worked well together and moved furniture quickly and carefully. They went above and beyond our expectations and assembled our bed frame and 2 ikea closets. We would be happy to have both Eric and George back in the future and highly recommend your service.
Fantastic company that truly went above and beyond! They were on time and were careful when moving our furniture and boxes. I will definitely recommend these guys for any move!
Hired 2 movers to pack our shipping container and they did a fantastic, fast and careful job. Very professional. The company contact Thomas was easy to work with. I paid what I was quoted and no surprises. Thank you!
Friendly, polite, extremely efficient. They arrived early and made great use of the space in our pods. I would hire them again in the future if we weren’t moving out of state.
Guys were awesome with communication, timing and showed real care for my items. Was nervous at first but their true professionalism showed from the beginning and I had no more worries.
Knowledgeable, experienced and extremely dependable. Highly recommended for mov and placing valuable items. Some of my heavy furniture required careful assembly, which went without a hitch.
I had Eric and I can't remember the other movers name. They were both wonderful. I have moved over 20 times and, hands down, they were some of the best. They were timely, respected my space, packed the POD beautifully (like a live game of Tetris), and were very kind. I highly recommend this company and Eric, and the other mover to anyone who wants a quality and efficient move!
