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. 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 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 more affordable.

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 Montgomery, NY

In Montgomery labor-only moving help typically costs between $364.81 and $687.19. 

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 $81.72 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Montgomery is what we’re here for.

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.

For pretty much was good. They left and upon closing the POD never loaded the headboard for queen bed which made a big priblem which meant having to unload to fit. Was not happy. Had to take headboard on roof rack home. Please check all areas of POD when leaving.

I couldn’t be more ecstatic with the exemplary service the two gentlemen provided. They were beyond courteous and pleasant. I would give more than 5 stars for James and the other gentleman if I could! They didn’t stop for the whole two hours we hired them for. Will definitely recommend to others!

C&S Lending Hands performed their truck loading/packing job effectively and efficiently. Yes, I would certainly hire them again. I then drove the truck across several states to my destination where I noted that no shifting of truck goods had occurred making an impression on both me and the unloading crew. It was noteworthy that all contents arrived without damage/breakage.

They came and they did a good job. I would hire them again. Very pleasant and personable. Easy to work with. I did pay extra due to living out in the middle of nowhere. Again, it was worth it. I could never have gotten the job done with out them. Thank you, all four of you.

Parris's 2-man crew of DJ and D'Sean arrived on time and finished unloading the 18ft trailer in under 3 hours. They were knowledgeable, polite and placed everything where we asked them to. I would recommend reliable movers to anyone in the Capital District of NY.

Very professional. The company was responsive and prompt. The two movers were very careful not to harm the household goods and the house itself. I hired them for two hours and they worked their butts off in the heat. I would definitely hire them again.

Both gentlemen were very nice, helpful, and gentle with my furniture. The only negative is they didn’t have the equipment (I.e. dolly, etc.) noted on the website. Luckily I had a dolly.
