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.

These two men started immediately on arrival and didn't look up until they were finished. They were careful, attentive, and professional. I would use them again.
Communicate on their arrival time, were very meticulous on packing making sure every available space was used efficiently. They were very careful in packing and treated the furniture like it was their own. Great personalities friendly and professional. Would definitely use again, they know what they are doing.
An hour before our start time window the company contacted me and let me know the original team did not show up for work that morning. This company stayed in touch with me throughout the day and found a new crew to help us unload our PODS before the end of the day. The crew was amazing, kind, and extremely hard working. Even with the snafu at the start I would still totally recommend this company!
Helpers were very professional. They did exactly what was asked and I had no problems getting them to work. I was very impressed. They were friendly, sociable, and willing to work with me to get things done in the time I wanted in order to prevent paying for extra hours. You rarely see that level of integrity. Would definitely recommend them, and use their service again.
The Second Movers were fantastic. Perfectly on time, very efficient, Hard-working, professional, and very kind. I will use them any time in the future. I highly recommend them,
Wonderful! We have moved A LOT over the last 20 years and they were the best movers we have ever had. They worked quickly, non-stop, and were very careful with our belongings.
I would highly recommend JJ's Moving. The 3 young men showed up on time (actually a few minutes early) and were eager to start the job. The truck was late, it was raining but it did not deter these young men from doing a great job. They were very polite, and handled my belongings as if they were their own. I would definitely use them in the future if the need should arise.
Timely, professional and personable. These young men did an excellent job with the move. We had just furniture and heavy bins. They were working on a typically scheduled day off, but they did the job without complaint or grumbling. Was a super hot day and they made the job seem effortless. We will use again when we have our carpet replaced in a few years!!!
Very helpful. Had a POD that was packed to the brim and almost every box was taken to an upstairs room. They were able to get everything up there and came prepared with the necessary moving equipment. Even after the job was done, they asked if there was anything else I needed help with. Both men were very nice.
They were a little late but did call me to let me know. They were prepared to work and took very good care of all my things. They tied off sections so if there was shifting during transport of the container nothing would fall. I would definitely use this company again. This was my first experience with Hire. A Helper and it was Great.
John and Jason did a great job..... could not have done the unloading of a truck by myself. On time, ready to work hard in the heat and worked fast. Thanks guys. Jim
The Second's Movers team that showed up to help us move was fantastic. They worked very hard despite the high temperature and humidity. They had great attitudes and were friendly and professional!

All Morehead City movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
