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. 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 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 more affordable.

The Cost of Moving in Pennington Gap, VA

In Pennington Gap labor-only moving help typically costs between $318.13 and $821.32. 

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 $79.63 an hour.

Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Pennington Gap is what we’re here for.

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.

Absolutely outstanding… These gentlemen went over and above and I cannot believe how professional they have been. They stepped in at the last minute with just a few hours notice and you would think they had prepared all week! On time/fast and amazing doesn't begin to describe them. I will definitely hire them again and again. Job well done men!! Thank you! Richard

They arrived on time, and were very efficient and careful with packing. They helped me reduce the number of moving containers needed by packing so efficiently which saves me money. I’d highly recommend them.

The guys from Bennet's were amazing. They got our whole uhaul unloaded and helped back it out of our driveway in no time! They were super careful with our belongings and with the floors and walls in our home. They showed up on time and were done before the two hours we paid for was even up. They took one quick break but pretty much kept a steady pace and got the job done. Thank you!

They were so helpful in the worst circumstances. I am disabled and they even put a bed together so I wouldn't have to sleep in a chair. They were quick and asked where everything should go. They also let me know about a dangerous area of the floor which eventually a contractor will repair. Great crew.

You will not be disappointed. James and crew are the best. I received a prompt call after booking the job. They arrived on time, not only did the job, but went beyond the call of duty to help us. Five star service. Thanks James!!

Thomas and his crew were excellent. They did arrive a little late, but called in advance to let me know. Once they arrived, they assessed the situation and took the time to discuss their plan and receive my concurrence. They were very careful with my furniture, walls, flooring, etc. I would definitely use them again and would not hesitate to recommend them to close friends and family.

Rawle was communicative right from the start. He was friendly, respectful, careful, and prompt. I did not get the impression the crew was milking the clock, but simply hard working men doing the job they are paid to do and I appreciate them. I am hiring them to unload my two pods as well.
