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 right on time at the beginning of our scheduled time-slot. Very courteous, quick, gentle with items and cleaned up our POD after. Highly recommend them for any moving job.
These guys did a great job!! I think we were all worried that my stuff wouldn’t fit into the 8x8 Pod I had, but Timothy did some advanced Tetris!! Everything fit, I’m very impressed! Thank you again!
Rodney & Otis were prompt, professional, and courteous. They worked quickly and non-stop. They put things where asked, assembled items when necessary, and were always respectful to us and our household items. I would certainly recommend these two individuals for any move you have planned in this area! Congrats on a job well done!!
The crew was timely, professional and operated efficiently - even with the extreme heat. They definitely saved me from aggravating an old back injury. I will definitely use them again!
Cedric & Pierce are both very professional, courteous, and pleasant young men. They got everything I needed done in a timely fashion. They took pride in their work which showed in the finished product! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for extra helping hands.
They did a very professional job and quickly. Anyone can move items, but it takes talent to know how to safely and efficiently pack a PODS unit or large rental truck. ??
Rodney and Jay were OUTSTANDING. We've moved 9x (most were corporate moves) and Rodney and Jay were two of the best, hardest working people we have ever hired. Great listeners on what was important to us. Very hard working as they never stopped. And great at packing out our POD efficiently. Would definitely hire again.
These men are amazing! Again the best money spent. I can’t say enough about this company. Truly professional, they take such great care with your items. Highly recommend.
Wonderful group. Worked steady, could handle the job. Wrapped items well and handled them carefully, as well as careful of the house. Great at packing the POD. Very polite! I hope to be able to schedule them when I unload the POD.
These guys were phenomenal and professional! They made sure everything was able to get loaded in the unit! Worked quickly! Highly recommend Jax in the Box Moving! You won’t be disappointed!
It sexcellent , I had an excellent experience hiring helpers from Jody’s Moving & Labor LLC. They were professional, efficient, and handled everything with care. I’m very happy with their service and highly recommend them!" Thanks Amiya
Brian and Caleb showed up a little early, did a fantastic job of unpacking the pod, carrying things into the house, and unpacking & assembling. They were friendly, courteous and professional - and fun to work with! I'd hire them again in a minute.

Why Book Your Palatka Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Palatka
You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Palatka.
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 Palatka 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 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.
