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 Reading, PA

In Reading labor-only moving help typically costs between $321.49 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 $91.01 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.

Kane and Family Movers were wonderful. They were on time, exceptionally helpful, very patient and very accommodating. They were proactive in letting us know when they were on their way. They were done with a 2 bedroom townhouse in one hour. Emily was so kind and understanding of our situation. She was very responsive and attentive. Would use them again and highly recommend.

Although we switched the orifinal scheduling the week prior they arrived on time and worked very quickly and efficciently, maximizing the loading of the container. The 2 man team finished an hour early as we had already staged the load on the first floor (in the garage adjcent to the container). A job well done and worth the cost! Thanks to We Move for your help!

The crew was fabulous. They arrived on time, respected my household items, interacted with me thoughtfully and courteously, and were incredibly hardworking and patient as they carried a piano and hundreds of boxes up three flights of stairs on a hot, humid day. I can't say enough about these three young men except they deserve a big raise. They're a great advertisement for your company.
