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 Poplar Grove, IL

In Poplar Grove 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 $78.69 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 Poplar Grove 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.

These guys came and got right after it and we're done faster than I could believe and my pod was packed so I'm sure that when it gets to my new home everything will be just like it was. Can't recommend these guys as high as they deserve, five stars just isn't enough!

We had a good overall experience! Both Tyrone and Darnell were polite, had a positive attitude, worked hard, and performed a masterful job in moving our furniture with care - and professionally packing the POD so that everything fit neatly within. I would hire these two gentleman again.

They were a little late because their first job of the day took longer. They finished the job in 45 minutes. They were respectful of my property, took care of home and helped with minor assembly. I would hire them again.
