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, itās considerably more affordable.

Elite relocation services are great. The movers we had were fast, efficient, and friendly. Will use them again on our next move. 10/10 highly recommend them for your next move.
All three guys did a fantastic job. I highly recommend them. Within two hours they had my 16 ft pod loaded. I did not have to do anything. Most easiest move ever.
There was great communication, they called with their eta and showed up right on time. The crew today worked so hard moving everything in with care and made sure to put everything in the right place. They were all very polite and worked at lightning speed. I can’t say enough about what a fantastic job they did!
Two men were able to empty the 16’ft POD in less than 2 hours. They placed things nicely where I wanted. They were very careful with floors and walls. Their pleasant attitude snd work ethic are to be commended. I highly recommend this company. Thank you for making our move a little less stressful!
They were easy to work with and very helpful in loading decisions going the extra mile. Tyrees and his partner were very kind and attentive to our questions and requests. We would recommend them always! Thanks!
The team of 4 was polite, friendly, efficient, careful with our belongings. They worked together as a team figuring out the trickier furniture paths. My only recommendation would be to bring an appliance mover to handle heavy bulky furniture.
I have used Hire a Helper twice to move to a new home. First to Load and now to unload. They were timely sent notices confirming the schedule and arrived on time. they were fast and efficient and affordable.
I can’t say enough about these outstanding young gentlemen that helped my old self. They were careful, quick, and extremely polite. Best movers I have ever had and I would highly recommend them!!
They were on time, I had the time wrong, so I was the late one. Chris was very professional, knows his business of moving. He was very personable. I enjoyed talking with him as he worked. I love seeing young men take of business in a professional way. Excellent job and yes I would most definitely use them for any further moves and referrals.
Derrick and Shaun were on time and loaded everything carefully and completely. They were prepared for the job and had all the necessary equipment. I had no issues and they made the moving process very easy. I can’t recommend them enough for their excellent work! We are vey satisfied with the work they did!
