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.

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.

The move of items from an 80 % full 16 foot POD to the New Hampshire home went smoothly and the two workers were carefull and efficient completing the job within the two hours. I would recomend them to others for a move. They were on timeand worked hard.
My experience with Fortex moving was incredibly stress-free! Henrique was very communicative and friendly. The guys unloaded my POD carefully and efficiently. Couldn't be happier with my experience, and I would definitely book them again!
Thomas and Matt were both great movers and incredibly pleasant to work with. They were timely, efficient, and professional. They had great packing strategies and saved a ton of time by thinking critically to get the job done in an efficient manner that did not sacrifice safety of items. I would 10/10 recommend them to anyone looking to move.
Extremely quick and resourceful for getting bulky items through narrow passageways. Team members learned our names immediately, very personable. Finished early even after providing extra help reassembling some furniture. Thanks for everything!
Good communication with arrival time. Very friendly and efficient. Very careful with the furniture and provided good insight on loading the container to prevent damage during shipment.
Best moving experience we've ever had, these movers were organized, communicative, resourceful, and efficient. We had just dealt with a lot of truck pickup issues from the truck rental company and were completely exhausted, but Up and Movin rescued us from what seemed like an impossible situation! Best moving team we've ever had!
The movers were awesome - flexible, accommodating and extremely professional. They knew what they were doing and moved us in quickly. They made our moving day so easy for which we are grateful.
Full House Moving was on-time and worked diligently to unload our PODS. They put together our furniture efficiently and effectively. They were warm and friendly. I would recommend for your upcoming move!
These guys were exceptional! They were kind, very respectful of our belongings and most helpful. When I move again I sure hope that they are available to help us.
I tipped all three directly. Under extremely adverse conditions and handling priceless antiques and memories these three gentlemen handled everything efficiently and with great care. I could not have been more pleased and will not hesitate to use them again or to refer them to everyone on my street and in my town
Craig and Al arrived on time and hustled the whole tine. They asked thoughtful questions about where things should go and followed thru. Easy to work with and friendly. Wicked good work+
David and Brandon assisted in moving heavy book boxes and other items from our house to our barn. They arrived on time (actually early), demonstrated the highest work ethic, and reacted promptly when we encountered problems. Very dependable, high energy; Will definitely use them again!
