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. 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 less expensive.

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 Rutherfordton, NC

In Rutherfordton labor-only moving help typically costs between $301.44 and $568.71. 

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 $89.45 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.

Two-man crew showed up on time and went right to work. Moved and placed stuff as I asked. Courteous and polite and efficient. Did not bang up any walls in a brand-new house. Gave them good tip.

They were great to work with. Very friendly and helpful. I'm a few states away from where they were loading the POD and it was nice to work with such professional people. Would definitely hire again if I were moving more furniture from SC.

I had 2 intelligent, respectful young men that loaded my furniture back in my house. I enjoyed them. One said I was like his mother because I had my son's trophies in a box in the POD.

Jamil & Desmond were great. They called to let me know they were on their way, showed up on time and knocked out the unloading of my pod in about 90 minutes. They even had time to help us put together some furniture. Highly recommend these guys.

One Direction Moving really helped us out of a jam. Our original movers did not return the next day as planned. We waited all day, but they didn'y show. We were frustrated and unsure what to do. One Direction Moving saved us. Chris and Connor showed up on a Sunday, expecting to work a couple of hours, but stuck with us for seven hours to get the job done. I would recommend them highly.
