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.

871 Rockdale Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 335,898 verified customer reviews
These guys showed up on time, were polite. They communicated well and helped move our boxes into our new place quicker than their posted time. The only reason I put a 4 star was because we had let them know which rooms to put the boxes in and they were putting them in the wrong rooms.
They showed up on time and did a great job. It was 2 movers that showed up and they were pros. Anything that still needed to be wrapped they took over and they packed my TVs better than expected. Highly recommended and I have them on schedule for my move in November.
I would for sure hire these guys again. They were top notch and so friendly. They were on time, prepared, brought tools and worked really hard to get both 26ft. Trucks unloaded. Hands down I would use them again.
They were great. They were 15 mins early, and ready to go. Very nice guys. Efficient and fast. They were careful with our things and it went very smooth for a crazy day of moving. Thank you!! I will definitely be using them again.
The team and owner were wonderful to work with. They were quick and efficient when fully loading my stuff into the container with no spare room in sight. I would definitely use them again, thank you guys for a great experience with a friendly team!
Very hardworking team, they put in honest work to get the items loaded to container. They are experienced in handling furnitures and also with efficient loading of items to the containers.
Great job by these guys. They kept me posted on their expected arrival time, completed the unloading promptly and efficiently. I totally recommend these guys!
Morris and his crew were wonderful. I ordered an 8’ POD and at the last minute, I didn’t think it would fit . . . but, now I know why he has such good ratings! KUDOS! ?? This group is highly recommended by this very happy customer!
The two that showed up at the house were amazing!!!! Professional, friendly and just very outgoing. I would recommend them all day long and I wished theses two could help me unload as well.
They did in incredible job packing our 16ft POD for our move across country. They were on time, professional and had much experience packing the POD. They did an incredible job.
The gentleman that came were very professional, Hard working and Pleasant My job turned out to be much more than I expected They were friendly and extremely helpful I would recommend them to ANYONE! Fabulous
