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, itâs considerably more affordable.

Both John and Mike from Tri-State Movers were very professional and efficient. They took extra care to ensure Furniture was properly padded and protected. They also did an excellent job loading and packing the truck for the cross-country trip. Upon unloading every thing was in good condition and the load was well protected.
The guys were punctual, professional, and very efficient. This is the second time using Aloo Moving LLC. I would definitely recommend them and use them again.
Showed up on time worked 10 10- degree heat and got the job done faster than I would have imagined. Michael and Nicholas, two hard working kind , courteous and efficient workers. I hope to use them again.
They were very careful and did a great job securing my furniture in the moving truck. They used the blankets and straps provided to make sure that nothing was damaged in transport.
Great guys and a super job. Very polite and helpful. To answer the stock questions: They were there on time, prepared, worked very hard, careful with our stuff, and yes I would use again. Thanks to Jonathan and his crew.
Excellent job! Fast, courteous, careful with our belongings. I was very impressed with how well everything was wrapped for protection. Nothing damaged during a 1500 mile move.
This was the third time hiring smart move guys. They worked efficiently and timely. All the guys were great except the lead guy. He wasn't friendly and grumbled a lot. We tipped them well $30 for each guy and $60 for leas guy, for 1 1/2 hours work. There were three heavy pieces.
On, time went straight to work what we estimated to be 2 or more hrs they did in 1hr, stacked well so we still have room. Excellent Excellent Excellent!!!!!
Excellent young men! We were so lucky Brandon and his team were available on short notice! Great workers, pleasant and fun, but very careful and professional. Really good people. Highly recommend.
This group of gentlemen were absolutely wonderful! They worked with all the quirks we had, we’re patient with all the requests, and done without going over the time prepaid for. We could not have asked for a better experience! We would highly recommend Road Runnerz!
I had wonderful movers. They were very professional, kind and polite young men. They didn’t damage anything and they set up my furniture. My move was done in a timely manner and I highly recommend Hire A Helper. Kudos to Quinn and his team for fabulous job. Great rates for fabulous work!
Aloo Moving was wonderful. On time. Prepared, professionally dressed and ready to work. They finished what I needed quickly and carefully. Would 100% hire again.

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.

All Ohio 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.
