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 Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

The guys arrived and started working right away and were very polite and took good care of our stuff. They helped unload the better part of a 26 foot truck in less then 2 hours. I will use them again when we move to a house we buy. Excellent service Your Right Move is top in my book!!!!!
The 2 men we had were very profesional, on time and did an excellent job loading two pods. In fact; they did such a good job and worked so well with us that we requested that they be the ones Helping Hands company sent back 9 weeks later when we were able to take possesion of our home. We would recommend them and use the company again should we ever have the need.
These two men were AMAZING!! They both had great spirits and extremely friendly. They packed my belongings with excellence. I would highly recommend them specifically to pack and move anyone!! I would also say this. Tell the clients to have most if not all their belongings packed up and ready for the movers. It makes things easier for the movers and clients.
John and Kobe were amazing! They were polite, efficient, kind, strong, and worked steadily for 4 hours in the summer heat. They are a terrific team, working well together.
Both Nate and Jay were outstanding. Efficient, careful with my things and even helped set up my bed frame. Above all, they were courteous and accommodating. Highly recommended!
This is the first time I have ever used Hire a Helper. The two gentlemen that came to complete the job were fantastic. I would completely recommend this company to anyone in need of movers. I am very picky and they completely went above and beyond my expectations.
On time and very polite. I had more than what could be fit into the pod but David and Oscar did all they could to maximize the space and got most of what I had into the pod.
The team arrived promptly, was very nice and worked quickly! The 2-person team had my 20 foot Uhaul trailer completed in 2-hours and placed every box right where I asked without any issues. I DEFINITELY recommend Rick and Austin and would use them again!
Monty and Josh were our movers. They did a wonderful job. They cleared out a 26 ft truck in just under 2 hours. They were awsome and I would highly recommend them for your moving needs
The two movers showed up a few minutes early and got right to work. They were friendly and very efficient. It was a great help to me to move my mom to a different floor in the same building. They did all the heavy lifting and put things in their proper place. I would highly recommend them!
Experienced help. Took extra care to protect furniture and walls and always asking where to place boxes that were not labeled Both men were personable sincere and professional. We couldn’t have been more pleased Thanks so much for sending them our way Ron B
Very helpful movers, friendly and quick, safe with furniture, both loading and unloading. One of the best moving experiences we have ever had! I would recommend them to everyone. I would hire them again for my next move.
