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 San Pedro, CA

In San Pedro labor-only moving help typically costs between $298.89 and $541.99. 

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 $76.85 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.

The 2-person team who helped pack my POD did an amazing job!!! They communicated well, worked with me to get as much as possible in the POD, and were super friendly. Can’t say enough to thank both of them for their quality work. Will definitely use them again in the future!

Great crew. Fast, efficient, well organized by Jon. I am happy I ended up using them despite initial miscommunication on how two loads would be handled for me. They loaded one of the orders and I booked another crew for the same time to load another container which worked out to my benefit from timing perspective. Service-wise - top notch!

The team was absolutely incredible. They were punctual, moved quickly, extremely polite and respectful, and were experts at loading PODS storage containers. We were nervous that our stuff wouldn’t fit, but the team utilized every inch of the POD and fit everything with room to spare. Would absolutely hire them again for a moving/packing related job

Both workers were fantastic. They took extra care for my furniture and property. Ivan called me to let me know they arrived early. They took their time to wrap all my furniture and moved everything slowly to assure there was no damage.
