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.

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 Peoria Heights, IL

In Peoria Heights labor-only moving help typically costs between $322.16 and $666.30. 

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 $82.76 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Peoria Heights 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.

Chris and his team were extremely hardworking and efficient with their time and storage abilities. They were very conscientious, polite and conscious of the owner's needs. Would definitely recommend and/or work with them again in the future.

Showed up on time, ready to move, and efficient. They worked super fast, and had no problems lifting anything! I'd give them 4 3/4 stars, only because I was a little unsure of having such young men as movers. My usual movers were booked, so these guys were a great replacement!

Devon and his assistant were very careful packing my furniture and boxes and taking extra care with fragile items and boxes. They were on time, they worked hard and I would recommend them for this type of work. Be aware that time is billed by the hour, they stayed for an extra 30 minutes but you can only pay by the hour apparently.

This crew was TERRIFIC - way better than was expected. They were on time, worked hard, did a great job, and even brought a lot of their own moving supplies. Absolutely no problems, and I'd hire them again in a heartbeat. Use these guys - you won't be disappointed.

You can trust Doug and his crew (his sons) with your move. There was great communication, they were careful with my items, and made sure my truck was packed perfectly for the long drive. Doug even called the day after my move was complete to make sure unloading also went smoothly. They made my move relatively stress-free. Thanks guys!

Chris and Tyler did a great job! I would use and recommend Illinois Valley Movers. They were running a little late, but kept me apprised of their progress. They arrived and got to work. It was raining, but they didn't complain. Worked with me on loading the truck and making sure everything was secured. They did great work!
