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. 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 less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Pasadena, CA

In Pasadena labor-only moving help typically costs between $300.30 and $541.99. 

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 $79.66 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.

They really worked magic. I had one u pack relocube container that they packed to the brim because it wasn’t in my budget to afford two. I’m a little concerned about my tv being on the bottom but they promised it would arrive undamaged. They were accommodating, hard working, and on time. If you choose speedy movers, you will be very pleased.

These guys are the best of the best. I hired them for 2 hours. They came in, saw what needed to be done, packed 2 full pods, and were done in that timeframe. It was impressive how quick they worked and how efficiently they got it done. Easily would recommend these guys to anyone.

They were on time and fast. They worked hard and packed my trailer tightly saving me so much space and money. I recommend 3 movers, the extra person was key in keeping things moving during disassembling and demounting furniture and TV. I would book them again for a future move.

They showed up early, and did an amazing job loading our POD. We were very concerned about what would fit and they somehow magically fit everything but a couch we had let them know was optional. I'd say every single inch of space was used. Amazing job. They also finished within 2 hours which was great. Highly recommend using them for your moving needs.

The helpers from Thunderhorse were available for assistance and questions and helpful before, during, and after the move. Thunderhorse set expectations reasonably and honestly, and worked easily with us to make moving-day less-stressful and far less overwhelming than previous moveshabe been for us. The helpers (Turo and Josuea) were polite, professional, prepared, and even fun. Good folks.
