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, itâs considerably more affordable.

302 San Joaquin Mover Reviews
On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 327,974 verified customer reviews
They were wonderful, professional, very hard workers and did an outstanding job. In the Fresno heat they continued working organized and knowing just how to pack the POD. I highly recommend them.
Very prompt, polite, conscientious, and a fair price. We were in a bind after our first mover called the day before our move and said he couldn't keep the appointment. Pete took our reservation at 5pm the day before and was able to have movers out by 9am the next day. I was very impressed with the entire process. Thank you!
Amazing team, they came prepared and ready to get the job done efficiently and with great care for all our items. We really appreciated their flexibility and their professionalism. Thank you and five stars to Bryce and his team, they really went above and beyond!
Overall fantastic job, great communication and professional and very speedy. Would use again. One star lower because our Samsung Fridge got a scratch on the front which was disappointing. Otherwise extremely happy with these movers.
Bryce and Mike did a phenomenal job unloading my POD. They were punctual, fast, well-organized, professional, and made sure to take extra care not to damage my apartment or the furniture they were moving. They far exceeded my expectations and I would hire them again in a heart beat.
The men were great. Very friendly and very helpful. They were on time and finished quickly and careful of my property. They did not damage anything. They were gentlemen and a couple of really good people.
Kept me informed before arrival and were ready to go to work, as described. Appreciated the tips ahead of time for packing and making the move easier. Would hire them again for sure.
Awesome - a job well done! Just one problem- when I unloaded at my place in Cameron Park- my desk had two legs broken off- is there insurance on this?
Excellent! They clearly know what they are doing. They were so efficient, they even saved us an hour's worth of pay (which is very honest, they could have slowed down for more pay). Would recommend!
Bryce and Mike were very professional, timely and efficient. They quickly assessed my packing needs and worked seamlessly loading my 7' PODS container for cross country transport. They were respectful of my property and greatly eased my movers' stress. I would highly recommend them. Bobbi, Clovis, CA
Our movers were very professional and experts in what they’re doing. I was in disbelief after they arranged our stuff carefully and beautifully. I am a very satisfied customer ??
They were only there for one hour. I would’ve thought I would’ve been able to get some money back. If you had a minimum of two hours I should get money back.

All San Joaquin 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 SmartProtectionâ˘âan 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 moverâs 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 haveâmake 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.
