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
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.

| Rankin, IL | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |
| Illinois | $408.32 | $1,085.66 |

Very accommodating. I called when I arrived at my destination early and they made every effort to arrive earlier than the selected time. They worked hard and fast. Would use again.
The 2 deaf men that came to my house were awesome! They were on time, friendly and worked really hard. I definitely would use H and G movers again and I will tell everyone I know about H and G movers.
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 ??
The movers showed up a little later than scheduled, but that was fine because they communicated about it, and we weren’t quite ready anyway. They were prepared and respectful and worked steadily. I would definitely recommend them!
I was so impressed with the young men that were sent to do the job!! I was amazed at how polite and respectful they were not to mention how VERY hard they worked. Despite the fact that they were hearing impaired we communicated just fine! I was VERY impressed with them and would highly recommend them. However much they are getting paid it is not enough!
Great guys ready to get to work. Very hardworking and efficient. They kept in touch on moving day and finished everything quickly. Would highly recommend!
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.
Brian and Jarred did a great job unloading our belongings from truck to storage to home. They took the time they needed to get the storage area organized so we can work with it in the future. They were very aware and respectful of our needs. They helped put a "good" ending on a very stressful move. Thank you so much!! Ted and Abigail Mathewson
These guys were great. They were on time, completely prepared for the job, and worked their butts off. It's always nice to hire a local business and this group had a great work ethic. They were extremely respectful of our property, and handled it with care. I would definitely use them again, and I'd strongly recommend them to others.
I hired this service on line to assist my son in Illinois with his move. I am speaking on his behalf. He informed me they were on time and prepared for the job. They were hard workers and professional. They were respectful and we will definitely use them again! Thank you!
Hired only to unload a truck that was packed by other movers. They were very careful unloading my truck and moving things into the house. Very professional and courteous! I would definitely hire them again. Much better experience than I have had with movers in the past.
These guys are truly professionals! They have great spatial awareness, treated all of our things with care, and got the job done with a few minutes to spare! Would 100% recommend them!

Why Book Your Rankin Move with HireAHelper?
Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Rankin
You've got moving questions — we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Rankin.
The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:
- Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
- Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
- Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move.
- Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
- Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.
All Rankin movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
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 SmartProtection™—an 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 mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge for extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
