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. 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 less expensive.

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 Princeton, NC

In Princeton labor-only moving help typically costs between $270.08 and $568.71. 

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 $66.13 an hour.

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.

Wow, what can I say Marc and Mark were fantastic. They showed up on time and were so efficient. All of our heavy items were placed where they needed to be. They had me walk them through the house and then went to work. They put the bed together and situated all the furniture right where I asked. HIGHLY recommend 10/10.

I had a great experience with the team that helped me unload my PODS container. Both movers arrived right on time and got straight to work. They were professional, efficient, and handled everything with care. They made what could have been a stressful day go smoothly. I truly appreciate their hard work and would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing moving labor help!

I have now used Guzman to help with moving twice now. They do a great job. They show up on time, with the right people, with the right knowledge, with the right tools and abilities, and they're easy to work with. I have confirmed post-move that our items have arrived without damage. Would definitely use again.

Crew showed up within the time window and let us know when they were about 10min away. They didn’t work insanely fast but it was very hot out and they were extremely meticulous about packing the truck efficiently and safely. They were very nice and personable.
