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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

As mentioned above, it costs $458.12 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Salton City, CA, with an average hourly rate of $83.84. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

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.

Workers were on time and worked steady through the loading. We had some heavy and odd shaped items but they got as much as they could on Pod. Only complaint would be I think they should tie things off as they go along. No tie down on the end of load I did add some rope so hopefully the door will open at the end of trip. Overall hard workers good job!

They did an outstanding job!!! I wish I could remember their names, but the man from east Africa (near Ethiopia) was exceptionally helpful and courteous. He easily figured out how to set up our iLift king size bed. Thank you so very much for having such exceptional employees.

The movers showed up on time - and had to wait at the guard gate because I forgot to call them in. They did not complain, just understood and asked whats next! They came prepared, worked hard, were very respectful and tolerant (of some crazy dis-organization that was my aunts house). I am hiring them again for another job.

Chris & Steve did a great job. Efficient, professional, nice guys. I would definitely use them again and/ recommend them. They arrived on time, were very careful with every piece of furniture, every box. Actually everyone at TNT was very helpful - I spoke with Dave, then Cindy, and every time I called, they made me feel very welcomed & well taken care of.

Factor and Walter arrived early and we're eager to help us unpack our pods. They were both great and very friendly. I believe Factor was also training Walter and he was patient and provided good explanation for his chosen techniques. I would recommend Factor and Walter to anyone that needs help moving!

Awesome, second time to have them pack the same pod. They are professional, hard working, polite and made sure everything was loaded up. They had supplies (that we lacked) and were very careful at planning the load so that it would ship safely. I did and would hire them again! Great service.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Salton City

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Salton City.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All Salton City movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.

One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.

You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.

Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
