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.

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 Red Oak, IA

In Red Oak labor-only moving help typically costs between $469.21 and $894.62. 

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 $88.26 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Red Oak is what we’re here for.

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.

The two young men sent to help unload my container of household goods were friendly, hardworking, professional and expedient. They finished the job in the time allotted and were pleasant while doing it. Anytime I asked for help with a particular issue, they were more than happy to pitch in.

They were professional and very careful with my property that was in the Pod. Considering that we had the hottest day here and broke weather records, they handled all my property as if it was their own. They took the time to make sure each and every article was put where I wanted it put, and did not do any damage to my home or property.

We had a last minute move and college move out. The team was helpful, flexible and very patient. They had to move very heavy furniture down three flights of stairs and up three flights of stairs to the parking spot. They were very efficient and did an amazing job from start to finish. Would highly recommend them.

The guys were a few minutes late but texted way ahead of time to let us know. Both of our helpers were polite, professional, attentive, and super fast. We have a few really heavy pieces of furniture so I thought it would take a long time, but they were very quick. We would definitely recommend them and hire them again in the future.

Odell and his crew had some mechanical issues with their truck,so they were quite late. However, when they arrived they were very efficient and finished the job very quickly, while also taking care not to damage my furniture. I had a problem with thd POD being too small for my stuff, but he offered to get a truck and haul the rest of my stuff for a reasonable rate. Great job.

These two guys moved st the speed of light! I hired them for 3 hours and they were done in just over 2. They emptied and transported and unloaded a storage locker; moved furniture, put together a 100 year old, non standard sized bed, and several other jobs. We were very pleased with both of them.

Top Flight Movers sent Eric and Carrington to help us with our move. They were on time, ready to work, and followed all the directions for what we asked them to do. They were equipped with tools to help disassemble furniture and straps to move some furniture that was unwieldy. We would recommend them, and intend to hire them again.
