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.

Arrived on time, ready to work. Friendly group. They had a good leader who gave clear instructions. With them all working together, the job (moving old furniture into the garage, then unloading a truck full of furniture, then arranged in each room of our house) went very fast.Very respectful and friendly. Yes we'd use them again.
They got everything into the pod that was in the garage. They had to work with some odd sized items and still got all of my boxes and furniture packed in.
CR movers did an excellent job for me. They arrived on time, very professional, took good care of my furnitures working fast and always with a very friendly, respectful and proactive approach. I would use them again and really recommend CR Movers.
I was very pleased with Melancon Services. They packed my rental truck very well for the long trip 1300 miles. No damage was noted on any item and they packed the truck as full as possible. They were very careful in the house. They worked very well together. I appreciated their work ethic and plan to use them in phase 2 of my move ! I would recommend them to others.
They did a great job! Professional and courteous! Never got frustrated, even when we had to fit a few last minute things in! We would highly recommend!
The guys that came to load my POD were fast and efficient. They had the POD loaded and on their way faster than allotted time. Thanks for a great job!!!!
Chris and Carey arrived 15 minutes early and we're incredibly polite and professional. They helped guide us through the whole process and did a great job packing the truck. I would most definitely recommend them for your moving needs.
Very courteous and hardworking. Great people—did the job in under the allotted time and did not stop working until they were done. They went above and beyond our expectations. We were very impressed and would definitely recommend this company.
The team that came out to do our home was a last minute switch. They were very professional, prompt and knew exactly how to pack the truck. We had very heavy and expensive items and they handles with care and ask questions on how we wanted things packed. Very awesome team.
My original scheduled Hire-A-Helper movers were a "no-show". Hire-A-Helper was able to schedule "Illinois Valley Movers" on the same day! (Thank goodness, as we needed to be out of sold house the next day!) "Illinois Valley Movers" were incredible. They really knew how to efficiently and safely move our heavy items. They were polite and very helpful. Thank you!
The two guys were so nice and friendly. I so wanted to leave a tip, but I am on a fixed income. I would surely recommend them to everyone. They were fast and accurate. Keep up the good work!
They were on time, and got right to work. I was told the job would take 2 hours and they completed it with five minutes to spare. Very careful and consciensous with our belongings

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.
