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, itās considerably more affordable.

My Helping Hands Movers of Naples loading crew ( Ross & Andy) did a great job in maximizing the amount of materials we could fit on the PODS Container. They treated our possessions as if they were their own. I’m saving their number for future use. TB
On time, very professional, did a wonderful job. I had doubts that they could make everything fit but Richard and his crew did an outstanding job. In addition, they were very careful with items that my wife should were fragile . Big thumbs up!
Crew was on time and very helpful. Didn’t rush decisions and were very courteous. We really appreciate the great job Jeromy, Jaedon and Henry did for us.
Monique and coworker did a fantastic job, they did everything swiftly and professionally. Would trust them to help for any other moving necessities in the future
The team ( 2 workers and 1 supervisor) showed up on time, went right to work and were very efficient. Hard working, respectful young men that I would absolutely hire again if needed. Thanks again!!
We had a wonderful unloading experience with Absolutely The Best Movers. The 2 movers were exceptional and so nice and accommodating. I can't be more happy. Thank you!
Great job-personable, clean & sharp fellows that were so great to work with!! I can’t be more thankful for your business & their help to our 96 yr old mother and her “stuff”!! Cheers to 2026!!
D.J., and Shean were the BEST. They went over and beyond. Will be requesting them for my next need for a couple good hands in less than 3 months. Bravo!
4 guys came and they were all extremely professional and very quick! They took better care of my stuff than I do!!! I would highly recommend them!!!! Amazing!!!
They were efficient and hard working through the whole process. Even when faced with heavy items at the end of a 26 foot truck load. They were polite and respectful of all my merchandise. They did a great job!!! Thank you for all your help. It was a great ending to a long and stressful move to Florida
I have nothing but wonderful things to say about the service. The team was prompt, efficient, and very professional. Thank u to the wonder-team of Jeremy, Smith, Jaodon and boss man Henry. You made this part of my cross country move easy!
Henri, Jeremy, & Derek did a FABULOUS job loading my POD container. They were incredibly polite, hardworking, & professional. They are Tetris champs fitting stuff expertly in the container— so that there was SO much more room than I thought. Highly recommend Moving Day Movers!!
