What Is Labor-Only?
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 moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, it's considerably more affordable.

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.
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.
I would absolutely use these guys again! They were on time, got the job done in the allotted amount of time and were very personable. I enjoyed having them help me complete my move!
They were professional and knew what they were doing in moving a sofa, loveseat, recliner and how to take them apart and put them back together. We coordinated a time that worked for both of us, very prepared, utilized the time well. Very respectful. Yes, we would use them again!
The guys were great! Very fast and friendly. I did have one box that must have been put upside down. I had a few broken glass items. I paid for 8 hours and they were done in less than 4.
They were quite very efficient and patient. They got the got the job done nearly a half an hour earlier than I expected. They even put up with my very particular husband. When I move again I will definitely give them a call.
I thought the two helpers hired were great, I had a 26’ Penske truck and we unloaded it in less than 3 hours, the guys worked very hard and fast, nothing was damaged, I would definitely hire these guys again if I ever movef
The 2 young me had me loaded in about an hour or so and they did a nice job packing my truck up. Nothing was damage on the my move. They were very nice to work with. They did a great job. Thanks guys
Anthony and Jeremy were very efficient on time and very efficient with their moves and did everything professionally without any problem and exceeded being able to get everything that was needed in to the pod and it all fits so we are very pleased with their work and thank you very much
The men were on time and did a fantastic job!! They really knew how to load a trailer efficiently -- this was so unbelievably easy and stress-free. I will use HireAHelper again.
These guys are fantastic. They arrived on time, were very professional and courteous, and worked their butts off. They never took a break, even though my job was very labor intensive. I would hire these guys again in a heartbeat. Makoto
The group of guys who unloaded my truck did a good job. They didn't tear up any of my items. They were responsive and it worked hard on a very hot and humid day.
