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 Rochester, IL

In Rochester labor-only moving help typically costs between $326.70 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 $95.54 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 Rochester 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.

Doug and his crew are amazing at what they do, as well as amazing professional compassionate human beings. Having just had surgery, I was not able to do what I had hoped to accomplish myself. But these guys came in and saved the day. Every once in a while an experience restores faith in the human race. This was definitely one of those times. Thank you - Thank you - Thank you!!!!’

I LOVED my helpers!!!! They did a great job. I wish I had found these guys when I moved the last time. They were on time, professional, did an excellent job packing and securing my stuff. The true test is to see how it all ends up when I unpack it but I am not really worried about it. I would so recommend these guys.

Their enthusiasm was outstanding, Easy to take direction and worked very hard. I really appreciate hire a helper, I could not have made the move without them, and reasonably priced.
