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 Potomac, IL

In Potomac labor-only moving help typically costs between $326.70 and $693.69. 

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 $91.16 an hour.

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

The guys were very friendly and respectful of me and our house. They offered to do anything that would help my move of furniture from the garage to the inside of my house. Very careful of not damaging anything. I would definitely recommend them.

I only wished they would’ve thought to ask if I needed help setting up the beds today. I forgot to ask. They were very accommodating and personable. They offered future help. We were very happy otherwise with their service.

Friendly and efficient. Called me the day after I booked them and figured out what time I wanted them there instead of relying on the one hour window. Moved everything out of my apartment and into a moving truck in less than two hours and in the rain.

Chris and his crew were great. I was running late, but Chris stayed in touch with me on the drive up so that they could arrive after me. They got the whole truck unloaded! I couldn't have had better help with this move.

Riley and the entire team were terrific. Conscientious, prompt, and even cheerful. It was a challenging move - furniture up tight stairwells, almost a hundred boxes, and a hot muggy day. Nothing was dropped or damaged. They were efficient, and tracked their time accurately. Have already referred friends to Nu Day Moving. Highly recommended.

Travis and Cam did a WONDERFUL JOB ?? I will definitely recommend them anyone who is worrying about their packing with PODS. In the beginning I was worrying about not being able to fit all my stuff in the 16ft trail. In the end they did with a lot of sweat. Thanks ??
