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.

Pete’s moving was able to assist with our move at a last minute request. The communication was excellent. We knew what and when to expect them. They were courteous and efficient. Changed a frustrating move to a pleasant experience.
I was pleased with the two helpers that were sent. They were on time- pleasant to work with and did the job well. Hireahelper made finding the help I needed smooth and easy.
Really polite helpful young men. Worked fast and hard. I am going to need your services again soon and would hope I can get the same two young men.
Antoine and team did an amazing job for us in a short time. They were able to get our super large fridge into the house with minimal complications and were quick and clean. Thanks to you and the team! Would definitely hire again.
George and Antoine were excellent workers. They showed up on time and went right to work. You can tell they have been working together a long time because there was not much talking, they each performed different functions and completed the work quickly and efficiently. I highly recommend them for moving assistance. Thanks Antoine and George. Joyce parker
Fantastic experience with Clifton and his crew. They were on time, the lead person James did a great job organizing the team to pack up the container . They entire team used care and acted with professionalism . They took extra precautions to protect our items and property. Do not hesitate to hire this team! We did to pack our last container we needed later that same week.
The moving team were scheduled to arrive between 8:00-9:00 a.m. They arrived promptly at 8:00. They walked through the house to see the furniture and boxes to be loaded on a freight trailer. They worked hard and didn't stop until the job was done. They were careful with our property, and I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
In a pinch and needed help in a hurry. Polite and professional help and all of my furniture placed where needed. Would definitely use Hireahelper again.
Very professional crew of three. Organized and efficient. Loaded very quickly, wrapped all the furniture and did a great job. Would definitely hire again! Thank you.
Older thin man was really good and helpful. The younger guy didn't exactly move at a by-the-hour rate. He took his time, would answer phone calls... They did come out on Christmas which was amazing! I tipped accordingly. Nothing got broken. Some of my wood items got scuffed but nothing major. Overall a good job.
Both gentlemen were professional, efficient, and polite. They were knowledgeable on how to best move a variety of items and they were knowledgeable on how to load the truck to maximize space. I was very pleased. They earned my trust and confidence.
Only 1 gentleman was able to complete my move. He was TERRIFIC! He alone, completed the in under two hours! He is very kind and courteous. He even waited for me to Fill up with gas, and return the Uhaul, then gave me a ride home (3 miles)!!! I (woman w/a semi-back) was on my own for my move from So. Lake Tahoe to Turlock was exhausted... his kind spirit was the perfect cure for my blues!
