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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |
|---|---|---|
| Price | $$$ | $ |
| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in New Salem, PA
In New Salem labor-only moving help typically costs between $356.29 and $743.42.
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 $79.39 an hour.

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.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| New Salem, PA | $439.61 | $1,058.99 |
| Pennsylvania | $439.61 | $1,058.99 |
| The United States | $451.87 | $1,167.76 |
Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $439.61 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in New Salem, PA, with an average hourly rate of $79.39. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

I had two awesome young men today. They were very professional and very polite. They cleaned and moved my apt in a timely fashion, I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anybody who needs a move
They came prepared and worked hard the whole time they were there. Unfortunately they were a couple of hours late and I was meeting them at my old house, not living there. I would certainly recommend them to anyone who needs a move as it was a good value for the money and they did work hard, were very careful and helpful.
MBK Moving Company is efficient & fast! It’s a family owned business that gets the job done! I was packed up in my pod in 45 minutes and unpacked in 45 minutes. They are excellent and I would recommend them and use them again!
They were on time and extremely efficient. We were amazed how quickly they worked. They were very professional and courteous and worked well as a team. We would absolutely hire them again.
They did a great job. They were little late but they were involved with another job so I understand. Once they got here they got what I needed finished quite quickly.
These men knew their trade. It was amazing watching them select the right boxes and furniture to fill the UPack cube completely. We ordered an extra cube and they made sure we wouldn't need it. They respected our house and all the belongings as if they were their own. These gentlemen were truly professionals. You couldn't go wrong selecting this company to pack your load. Rich L, Hershey, PA
Mike and Marvin were phenomenal! They were absolutely on time, so professional and extremely respectful of our property. We have already spoken to them about completing another move for us. We were so happy to have found them.
These guys rocked it! Super nice and efficient, they got the job done much faster than I thought they would and put everything exactly where it needed to be. When I need a moving service again, it will be these guys!
The 3 helpers we had were on time, efficient, and kind!!! They unpacked our Pods in no time and helped assemble our furniture which made our process smooth and less cumbersome. Im so glad we hired them and would highly recommend them.
Ruston called and asked if it was ok to show up early and made sure it would work with our schedule. Him and his crew showed up and got to work right away. They worked hard and were very respectful and handled our items with care, ensuring tight packing for safe cross-country transport. I would recommend Smooth Move Movers, LLC and would use them again if ever the need should arise! Great work!
The 2 movers arrived on time and ready to go to work. Once they were with the other movers, it became a well oiled machine. They delivered some of my furniture to a consignment shop and the owner commented to me that in 15 years, these workers were extremely professional and about their business. Kudos to Marlon & Mike!!! Well done!
They were on time and prepared for the job. They worked very hard and in a timely fashion and were careful with our property and goods. I would definitely ask for them again. Great job Alvin and Mason.

Why Book Your New Salem Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in New Salem
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in New Salem.
The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All New Salem 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 SmartProtection™—an 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 mover’s 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 have—make 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 for 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.
