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, it's considerably more affordable.

Bob and AJ were terrific! They handled everything respectfully and carefully and expeditiously. They even saved me a linear foot in the trailer I had rented. They know what they're doing and I'd definitely recommend them. I only wish they were on the other end of my move to help me unload!
Those Two Kids were outstanding. (To me they are Kids). LOL. They were polite, hardworking, and exhibited the highest professionalism. They are an asset to their employer, and a credit to those that raised them.
These guys were awesome. Very respectful. Busted their buts and did an awesome job. I would definitely use them again. They called an hour before and arrived right one time. I would recommend them to anyone. Great guys!!! Thank you!
LeBron and Kendal were incredible and efficient. Thank you. Kevin was mostly communicative in status. They came a day later and were late, but did a great job moving our furniture. The automated communication and invoice system were relentless and annoying, considering the guys weren't there the day scheduled.
Outstanding. They hustled the whole time. They were on time, prepared and had tools to take a couple of items apart. They made our things fit into our storage perfectly. If you need movers...go with Second Movers. Very professional ...I just can't say enough good about Second Movers.
I actually will be scheduling with you again. My contractors start inside this coming week, and shortly after the first of the year, I will contact you again to schedule for the same fellas to flip it back! Thank you, it couldn't have gone any better!!!!!
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.
Isaiah was very efficient & very helpful. He managed his 3 helpers very well. They did a great job packing both pods. With the rainy conditions, they did a remarkable job.
Thank you to Monte and Sebastian they were very friendly!! They were very efficient and fast they took great care of my furniture and that was very kind!! I would use this service again great helpers!! Suzanne Stuart
Rob and Hunter did an outstanding job loading our truck up in a timely manner. They were on time and they were courteous and professional. They took very good care of our house hold goods. They are very good at loading a truck and very fast. Definitely worth the money!
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.
Leon, Justin, Cameron, and Jennifer did about as flawless of a job as flawless is going to get! The crew from bell to bell was polite, professional, hard-working, and without any complaints. If/when I require moving assistance in the future, without any doubt this crew will be my only choice.

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.
