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.

Just had this crew load and unload a 26’ truck and storage unit. Very polite, courteous and careful with our furniture. Showed up on time and kept us up to date with time of arrival. Flexible on extra time needed. I could go on but it’s not necessary just give them a try. Move from Russellville al to Madison al.
The two fellows were professional and worked hard unpacking the truck. They were careful will the items and placed them where requested. Overall, they exceeded my expectations. The two arrived on time, were prepared for the work and completed the work. I would use them again.
I give this company a 5 star rating. They arrived on time loaded truck professionally. They then followed me for my 23 mile move and unloaded my truck. I would highly recommend them to make anyone's move. I have moved 3 times in the last 6 years and this company was the best of all the moving labor help I have used.
The movers were on time and well prepared for the job. They did excellent work and I would highly recommend them for any moving jobs you may need. They were very respectful, professional, and courteous.
This is our 8th time moving. The 2 guys you sent today were the best we have ever had help!!! They were very polite and professional. They took great care of our furniture, and they were able to load everything that we wanted on the first and then some! In today's times, it is unusual to get individuals who are on time, polite, and take pride in their work. Thank you for sending them!!
This team was absolutely amazing!! They were quick, careful and so respectful while unloading and placing our things. Johnny and his crew were absolutely top notch and I would definitely use them all again!
My helpers did a good job. As I have gotten older, I no longer want to move the heavy pieces of furniture. My 2 helpers did a good job getting all of the heavy pieces loaded on the truck. They were courteous and friendly and I would use their services again.
Great job! They arrived on time, worked very hard on a very hot day, and finished on time. Very polite and pleasant team. I would use them again in a heartbeat.
On time, communicated well on the phone. The "new" guy was not a mental giant, but a very polite, VERY hard worker. Learning fast from the veteran mover that was using "teachable moments" to train the young guy. The worked fast, handled heavy loads with ease and expertise. A dynamic duo!
John and his crew did a great job! They were hard working and efficient and had our stuff unloaded in no time! Highly recommend - would definitely hire this company again!
Brandon and his guys once again were awesome. We had a few things left on the truck from our move that needed to get offloaded at a storage unit and like with the household goods, took extreme car with our stuff. Punctual, professional and just all around great guys to work with.
The men who loaded my POD were courteous, respectful, and professional. They called to let me know they were running behind on the job ahead of me. The work was completed in a timely manner.

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.
