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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 331,378 verified customer reviews
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.
My movers communicated with me ahead of time and arrived on time. They were professional and asked me where to put all my things. If i changed my mind, they gladly moved items around with no complaints. They were also friendly and personable and worked quickly and carefully. I would definitely recommend them as great movers and nice guys!
We would not have been able to move to Fort Worth without David and his team. They were unbelievable in how well they packed the PODS to use all available space. When we had more items to pack than we had PODS, they used there own trailer to move the items to Fort Worth and unloaded them into a storage unit that we rented.
They were very helpful and were able to answer all of my questions. Moved very fast and made sure they packed with efficiency! They even finished early !
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 were on time and very efficient! All I had to do was give instructions on where to place my things and they moved everything safely and quickly. I would definitely hire them again if needed!
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 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.
They were very professional and provided excellent customer service. They were prepared and worked hard. They protected all our furniture really well and took good care of all our belongings. I would definitely use them again if I ever need movers! They’re very trustworthy and honest.
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!
Absolutely amazing team! They were scheduled for 4 hours and were done in less than 2. Extremely friendly and made a stressful move so much easier. Well spent price, 10/10 stars, would recommend to all my friends. There are no words for how amazing this team was.
The two men were real gentlemen. Ready to get to work. I over estimated my time that I needed help. Although we paid for 3 hrs of help and they only worked for 1/2 hr doing the heavy stuff, I hope they got the 2 minimum or 3 hr pay. Great service and I would use you again.
