The Cost of Hiring Movers in Oakland, NJ
On average, it costs $366.91 to hire moving helpers in Oakland, NJ. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Oakland, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $83.35.
These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.
The Cost of Full-Service Moving
The average cost of a local full-service move in Oakland, NJ is $990.60, with an average hourly rate of $117.59. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.
Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

Eric and Kevin did great under the sweltering heat. The loading of my pod wasn't very straightforward but they did their best to get it done. They were very punctual as well. My only recommendation for Promove in general would be to make it part of their system to call a week or a day before to confirm again with the client the date and time. Other than that, it was a good experience
The helpers arrived early and ready to work. Very efficient, hard working team. They had my storage unit empty very quickly and the team went the extra mile ensuring my moving van was packed up nice and tight. Super helpful team. Highly recommended.
THE BEST EVER!!!! Absolutely incredible service. Professional, communicative, friendly, and absolute pros. Took care of us & our things and offered amazing advice. 20/10 reccomend!
The movers went above and beyond. They unloaded our truck in record time. They worked hard to get a sofa in that was extremely difficult to get into the apartment. I highly recommend them.
Returning customer here! Amazing job once again. Our movers handled our items with care, were timely and efficient! Will always recommend to anyone moving! Thank you so much for making our move seamless. Appreciate it greatly!
The team was on time, professional, helpful and friendly All packing was carefully done and the move was stress free The crew exceeded my expectations and are highly recommended
Worth every penny. They arrived on schedule and worked for 2 hours without stopping. They moved everything I asked. Great job would highly recommend the crew.
Thank you for such a great job well done. Everything was moved out of our house in a quick and efficient manner. Your workers were very courteous and respectful. Yes we would definitely use them again and recommend them to our friends and family.
On time, great movers, a human being on the other side of the phone, absolutely no hassles and fair price. Exactly what you’re looking for in a mover. Will use again every single time!
Eric and Kevin were wonderful! Very efficient with their time and professional. They were on time and communicative about their arrival. They made our moving experience so much easier and I would absolutely hire them again.
Chris and Thomas are 5 star. Punctual in their time frame window and their professionalism. Polite to the neighbors. I’d hire them again and will be referring them to my neighbors who will be moving soon. Great at what they do and hard workers. Will hire again.
Winston and Will were on time, worked hard and consistently for the full two-hour period. They got the job done in the time allotted. I would use this company and crew again.
