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 Menlo Park, CA

In Menlo Park labor-only moving help typically costs between $331.38 and $663.28. 

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 $93.63 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.

Those 2 men worked so very hard. Yes I would use those 2 men again, but my final destination is Los Angeles and I know I will have to hire different men for unloading my stuff. I'm sure your company will have more wonderful movers in the Los Angeles area.

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.

WOW these guys did a great job making sure everything was safe and ready for the drive south. They were fast and efficient and knew how to place everything in the Container. They also resolved the issue with a leaky POD since it rained the day before I would definitely hire again and again
