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 Richmond, IL

In Richmond labor-only moving help typically costs between $377.99 and $693.69. 

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 $95.03 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.

Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.

The two gentlemen that moved our items were very respectful. They carefully and skillfully moved the items into the PODS. In fact, I would call them Magicians because I truly did not think all our things were going to fit and they found a way! They were easy to talk to and understand what they needed. I would highly recommend them.
