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.

Two strong guys showed up and knocked out the project super fast. The communicated when they were coming and were on time to the expected arrival time. They moved everything I asked and did not damage anything in the house. Very professional, fast, and hard working. I would definitely use again.

They movers were extremely professional and competent. They were able to pack our entire house into three U-pack cubes (we should have ordered four). They helped break down beds, cover furniture in sheets, and even brought their own moving supplies when we ran out. I would highly, highly recommend them.

Noah and his team are excellent. They work rapidly. They will do as much or as little packing as you need. His team communicates well, they are careful, friendly, efficient, and well coordinated. They crushed packing 2 full PODS in a few house and it was an incredible game of Tetris. Highly recommend.

Excellent movers. I highly recommend them. They are professional, diligent and super fast. I had other movers help me the prior two days and MovingZoom was by far better than the prior movers and they exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the teamwork between the two movers was phenomenal and they skillfully loaded two large moving pods.
