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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Andrew, Omar Sr and Omar Jr worked extremely hard!! They made sure to ask regularly what should be loaded and what stays with us so there was no confusion. Each one of them was very respectful, friendly, and fun to talk with. We had a very large move, and they went above and beyond. Excellent service!! Would highly recommend them as individuals and also recommend Promovers. Great job!
Other than them arriving late, not due to their fault, the guys were terrific. They managed to get my twin beds, king split bed, 3 night stands, 2 recliners, and a large coffee table in one small packing cube. They were very nice guys, performed a miracle ??
The guys were fantastic! I could tell they had a ton of experience. They helped me move into storage, and everything fit without a singl issue, and at first I was a little worried because yeah, there was a lot of stuff on the truck. Amazing gentlemen!
We were completely blown away by how fast and tight Rickie, D, and Akeem (apologies if spelling is off!!) packed our 16ft ABF trailer!! Took only two hours! They were also super sweet and courteous, working around stuff we have to save for a separate truck. Wish we could take them out to New Mexico to unload for us!! Thanks you guys!!
Incredible team! On time, helped us out on extremely short notice, kind, personable, careful, and fast! Would definitely recommend!!! We are so grateful!
The crew arrived on time. Briefed me on plan for offload. Very courteous, patient. asked questions throughout the load to ensure proper placement in my home. Hardworking, worked as a team. Highly recommend.
They were on time, polite and respectful. They did a good job with my items, and I definitely recommend them and I would have no problem using them again.
Jay and Joe did a great job moving our stuff and Shamiah was a pleasure to do business with. They were on time, organized, had a great work ethic and took care of our stuff. I'd hire them again!
Tyronn and Darnell were great! Super professional, careful with everything, and made quick work of our two UPack relocubes. Scheduled for 3 hours and only ended up needing the 1. Super grateful for their help and care.
Super nice and friendly movers. Not all was perfect but what is. They move heavy stuff and you know you dont want to do that so hire someone and tip em big. Service was paid in full, shows paid i full. And, movers were tipped 100 cash each. And. Im not filing a claim for all the damages.
Chris and Victor were on time a professional throughout the entire move. They were both very helpful and provided excellence service. I would recommend Logan Lift to anyone who needs moving services.
I was so impressed with the two workers we received. Both were extremely strong, flexible, and knowledgeable. When they took a treadmill down a flight of stairs with minimal room, well, that was impressive. I would hire help any time we move.
Real Advice from Milwaukee Movers
"When traveling with a larger sized rental truck, I recommend that you take the freeway as close to your move location as you can before driving through the city. Rush hour (9am and 5pm) can be particularly heavy in Milwaukee county so it may be easier for you to chose for your truck check out time to be an hour before those times if you are not comfortable driving a large truck in heavy traffic. Lastly, I recommend using Uhaul truck rentals because they are the most likely to be available at any given time."
- Shield Moving Services
"If moving downtown, it's easiest to TRY to block a space for your moving truck as near to your apartment complex as possible. Some apartments require you to reserve a time to block off elevators (if available) so call ahead to find out if this is necessary! "

One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
