Labor-Only vs. The Traditional Move

When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. 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 movers to load or unload your stuff.

While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it’s considerably less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Los Gatos, CA

In Los Gatos labor-only moving help typically costs between $412.85 and $477.25. 

If you’re tackling a smaller job, like unloading a PODS-style container, moving into a storage unit, or just need help with the heavy lifting, you can hire hourly moving labor for around $95.09 an hour.

The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Even after factoring in the cost of a rental truck, gas, and supplies, labor-only moving usually costs less than half of what you’d pay for local full-service. Full-service is definitely more convenient—but that convenience comes at a price.

They were very kind and responsive. Showed up and got to work. We had two Pod containers and they packed them so efficiently. Were we worried about room but they got everything in there, packed the right way and safely. I am a real estate agent and will be recommending them to my clients going forward. Thank you for the great job.

Very professional, hard working and experienced. They have all the right tools and materials and wrapped everything up nicely for protection. They also strapped things in the container at the end so they don’t shift. I live on the 3rd floor without an elevator, they carried everything downstairs quickly and gently, without a scratch.

The team was friendly and did a great job. They loaded our Pods for an interstate move, and even the moving crew who unloaded our Pods at our destination commented on what a great job they did. Would use again for Pods container loading - they definitely know what they’re doing. For reference, we had 4 guys and it took 4.75 hours to fill 2 16-ft. Containers.
