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 convenientâbut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Oakwood, IL | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $408.32 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Oakwood, IL, with an average hourly rate of $90.97. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.
| Home Size | Average Cost | Average # of Movers | Average # of Hours |
| 1 Bedroom Apartment | $322.16 | 2 movers | 2.2 hours |
| 2 Bedroom Apartment | $370.83 | 2 movers | 2.4 hours |
| 3 Bedroom Apartment | $432.78 | 2 movers | 2.8 hours |
| 2 Bedroom House | $403.38 | 2 movers | 2.6 hours |

| 4 Bedroom House | $563.75 | 3 movers | 3.1 hours |
| 5 Bedroom House | $666.30 | 3 movers | 3.9 hours |
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.

They were pleasant, easy to deal with, no drama, accommodating and packed our moving truck and handled our items with great care. Would recommend to anyone and would hire them again in a second. They made moving/packing a breeze. Thanks!!!
All I can say is WOW!! I would highly recommend CJ and Willie!! They unpacked my truck in record time and everything was in perfect condition. Since I had just gotten new flooring installed, they had to hold the furniture in the air until I got felt pieces on all the legs. They were awesome!
Fantastic service. Chuck was on time, efficient, and humorous in all of the right way to remove the stress involved with moving across the country. They made sure that my property was protected at all times, and did a great job setting everything up for the move.
Father and son team, very kind and helpful! They, completed the job in less than 2 hours. They were very careful and thoughtful about loading my boxes in to my storage unit. I would definitely use Melancon Moving again! Thank you for all your help!!
These guys are truly professionals! They have great spatial awareness, treated all of our things with care, and got the job done with a few minutes to spare! Would 100% recommend them!
Great job! Already planning to use them with our next move. The team was very professional, friendly, and concerned with taking care of our goods. 5th move in 15 years and best we have had!
Early, fast, polite, professional. I would absolutely hire Moving Forward again. Mike and Alan showed up early. Extremely professional. When they finished I asked for a few things to be moved to other areas - the response was "Done". You want good movers with zero problems - hire these guys.
The two movers we had were incredible. They were friendly, professional and quick. We moved into a third floor apartment and it was worth every penny to not have to haul all our belongings up those stairs. We will definitely be using Nu Day in the future.
The two guys who showed up got to work right away and unloaded my 16 foot truck in just over an hour, far faster than I had anticipated. They put all my boxes in the rooms they needed to go to so I can unpack faster. I really appreciated how careful they were with the furniture too. They were a few minutes late, but more than made up for it.
Very accommodating. I called when I arrived at my destination early and they made every effort to arrive earlier than the selected time. They worked hard and fast. Would use again.
The guys were very friendly and respectful of me and our house. They offered to do anything that would help my move of furniture from the garage to the inside of my house. Very careful of not damaging anything. I would definitely recommend them.
Brian and Jarred did a great job unloading our belongings from truck to storage to home. They took the time they needed to get the storage area organized so we can work with it in the future. They were very aware and respectful of our needs. They helped put a "good" ending on a very stressful move. Thank you so much!! Ted and Abigail Mathewson

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 clicksâeven 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.

- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelperâs platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure youâre getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? Weâll match it. That means you donât pay extra to use HireAHelperâin fact, you may save money.
All Oakwood 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.
