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.

While Irongate did a good job, at the end of the load up of the POD, the lead guy, who I believe is the owner of the company, Demetrius Jackson, turned to me and said I owe for a third hour AND transportation fee, coming to $270 above and beyond Hire A Helper fees of $490, which I later found out already included a third hour and ZERO transportation fees.
Mr. jackson basically ripped me off, demanding payment right then and there before he left. I paid it.
I then called Hire A Helper to complain about the transportation fee. They said they don't charge such a fee. And I mentioned the third hour and that is when they said it was already included.
Hire A Helper then helped me recover the $270 overcharge Mr. Jackson stole from me through fraudulent means.
Do not ever use Irongate services because they are crooks.
I recommend Hire A Helper remove Irongate from their roster of subcontractors due to Mr. Jackson's clearly regular practice of ripping people off.
We had hired this company for the unload of our moving truck and it was a breeze. The customer was happy with the service and the coordination with Kenny and the team were easy. Very communicative and prompt. I would recommend using them!
called ahead & happy to take last minute instructions from one absent owner.
on time, friendly, helpful, worked hard, did good job
will recommend to friends family
thanks!
These guys are great! They work with us all afternoon when we had a scheduling issue with our pod got here early and waited in the driveway for the pod and then got right to work. They finished a half hour early and so we were able to spend the extra time getting a few more things arranged where we wanted. They were very polite and we will definitely use them again!!
Second’s Movers were on time, moved quickly and efficiently, and managed to fit everything in my truck, even though I was worried I’d have to leave stuff behind!
Full Faith Movers exceeded my expectations and made short work out of a move that easily would have taken considerably longer without their expertise. I highly recommend their services.
my wife and I could not have been happier with our experience today when your young men loaded our two pods containers.
They arrived on time and got right to work. They were all pleasant and friendly and got along well with us as well as each other.
Overall it was a pleasant experience and would definitely recommend them to others. In fact I already told other friends of our experience.
Thanks again guys, GREAT JOB!
The three guys that came to help us were great. I loved that they had a lead person to direct and control what was happening. All three guys worked extremely hard to get us loaded and ready for the next chapter of our life. Would highly recommend them.
I had a short time to hire people to help me pack. I was able to get helpers from Pack and Go Moving quickly, they came when they said they would, and did it all in under 3 hours.
I asked for 3 guys, but one couldn't make it - so my bill was adjusted with no problem.
I didn't think all of the stuff would fit in the truck, but it all fit, nothing damaged, I had several antiques they treated with care.
I would definitely hire them again!!
The crew arrived within the designated time frame. They went right to work. They worked diligently without being in too much of a hurry. Managed to handle a couple of challenges without trouble. Would definitely use II's again
Love this company, the guys were professional, kind and very gentle with our stuff. We moved and did not have anyone to unload the 16' truck, so I got on line and found this company and I'm so happy I did. It only took them 45 min. Thanks so very much guys!!! I'll see you next time.
Chad & Brandon were on time & ready to work, No nonsense or time stalling. I tried my best to make it as easy as possible for them from moving things out of their way to shoveling snow & ice before they came so they had a clear path & hopefully wouldn't get hurt. Even tho I was probably in the way, they were polite & patient with me. They knew how to fill the pod so when it was moved to my property nothing would tilt & break plus they knew I wanted to move more in so kept space. I felt like I was working with my son & grandson. Guess I'll have to find something to move just so they can come back again.
The whole crew was great. When I called & talked to Billie, he too was very kind & patient. That means a lot. This dynamic trio can help me anytime.
Thank you all at the company.
Debi B, Goldsboro, NC
Thank you! The men who helped us when we were in such a bin did such a wonderful job that I would totally recommend them as well as your company to everyone I know who may need assistance in moving!!

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 Mar-Mac 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.
