The Cost of Labor-Only vs. Local-Full Service

Full-service is definitely more convenientābut that convenience comes at a price. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.
| Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
| Potomac, IL | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size
As mentioned above, it costs $408.32 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Potomac, IL, with an average hourly rate of $77.53. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.
To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

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, it's considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 336,006 verified customer reviews
The two guys who showed up got to work right away and unloaded my 16 foot truck in just over an hour, far faster than I had anticipated. They put all my boxes in the rooms they needed to go to so I can unpack faster. I really appreciated how careful they were with the furniture too. They were a few minutes late, but more than made up for it.
On time and very friendly. Made the move very fast and easy. Definitely someone I would suggest. Thanks so much for your help. It is greatly appreciated.
Joe and Jonathan arrived early and finished early. Very efficient, fully capable, respectful, made any adjustments I requested. Two fine young men who are a distinct credit to their company. I would surely ask for them again if the occasion arises.
Our experience was very positive. The movers arrived on time and unloaded the truck without damaging any articles. The unloading did take a long time (5 hrs), but that was not due to any fault of the movers. We had many items that were to be reloaded on the truck for storage purposes, which slowed down the process. We would not hesitate to use this service again.
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.
Smooth movers provided an excellent level of service. Tip: Smooth movers will be able to keep more of the money they earn if you hire them by contacting them directly instead of going through the "hireahelper" website.
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.
Illini Moving labor helped me out of a jam when my originally scheduled movers had to cancel due to a family emergency. They swept in at the last second and got my truck loaded in a timely fashion.
These guys were wonderful! Showed up early, got to work fast, and got it done ahead of schedule. They were friendly and hardworking. This is the only moving company that I ever want to work with again.
April and Starr Care were just awesome. They accommodated our needs and were flexible in assisting us with our move. We are looking forward to using them again!
They were on time and very prepared. They went above and beyond what I expected, very respectful. I would absolutely use them again. The process took less time than I expected and everything was moved intact without incident.
Fantastic service. Chuck was on time, efficient, and humorous in all of the right way to remove the stress involved with moving across the country. They made sure that my property was protected at all times, and did a great job setting everything up for the move.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionā¢āan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverās rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more.
