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 Putnam, CT

In Putnam labor-only moving help typically costs between $315.96 and $687.19. 

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 $82.88 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.

Steve and his helpers did a great job. Very considerate of me and my possessions.They were friendly and professional. They did arrive late but had called an hour before they were due to explain they were held up at a job and asked if it was ok with me to shift their start time. I was so thankful to get my POD unloaded the same day it arrived!!! Thank you :-)

Anthony and his team are great. I’ve used several moving companies and this was by far the best experience. They’re very skilled at disassembling and securely loading furniture, even especially heavy and strangely-shaped desks. They’re exceptionally skilled at loading everything and maximizing the available space. I was really impressed and would hire them again.
