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.

The Cost of Moving in Santa Clara, CA
In Santa Clara labor-only moving help typically costs between $412.85 and $477.25.
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 $70.52 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.

Noah and his team are excellent. They work rapidly. They will do as much or as little packing as you need. His team communicates well, they are careful, friendly, efficient, and well coordinated. They crushed packing 2 full PODS in a few house and it was an incredible game of Tetris. Highly recommend.
Neostart is an awesome local mover in Oakland, CA. They were kind and friendly handled my stuff carefully and also put some miscellaneous objects in these awesome quick set-up boxes. i would recommend!
The speed was impressive, he worked with my suggestions, and he made me believe in magic with a real life 3D Tetris mind to fit everything neatly. Impressive kind lead and very nice helper too!
Highly rate this team. They showed up on time and got the job done. They were very proactive with communication and showed up with 4 guys ready to do the work. I used them to load up my home into two pods that were going into storage. You could tell they had experiences loading these containers and were very methodical with their approach.
WOW these guys did a great job making sure everything was safe and ready for the drive south. They were fast and efficient and knew how to place everything in the Container. They also resolved the issue with a leaky POD since it rained the day before I would definitely hire again and again
They were extremely polite, got to work in a well organized, hard working manner. They checked in with me regularly to be sure all the pieces and aspects of the loading process were satisfactory and had been included. I definitely would request this team in the future.
The guys were awesome! Usually with paid movers they work slow and stretch the job out. These guys worked at such a great pace and unloaded the 6 hour load job in a little over an hour. I was very impressed. If you are looking for a hard working crew that won’t slack on the job, give these guys a call! Well done.
Conner Moving was excellent! They were on time, efficient, and took great care of our things. You could tell they were very experienced. They worked hard and were pleasant and responsive to our needs. I would definitely use them again!
Second time ive used movingzoom and they were as good as the last time. On time, respectful, careful with breakables and furniture. Couldnt recommend them more
Excellent movers. I highly recommend them. They are professional, diligent and super fast. I had other movers help me the prior two days and MovingZoom was by far better than the prior movers and they exceeded my expectations. Moreover, the teamwork between the two movers was phenomenal and they skillfully loaded two large moving pods.
They worked hard, managed to get everything in despite my fears there wasn’t enough space, and were extremely pleasant to interact with. Great job, great folks.
This is the second time we have used this team. They were prompt, courteous and did a wonderful job loading our POD. We would definitely use them again and can highly recommend them!
Real Advice from Santa Clara Movers
"When moving into or out of Palo Alto, check with the City Hall regarding parking permits for moving trucks or PODS to avoid fines, especially in areas with restricted parking. For truck rentals, U-Haul on El Camino Real and Budget Truck Rental on the same street are reliable sources with a good selection of trucks; booking in advance is recommended. When driving a large rental truck, it’s advisable to use major roads like Alma Street or Middlefield Road instead of busy streets like University Avenue."
- Joshua's Moving Packing & Storage
"Always get advice on local rules and regulations, when we bring our truck to your area we have safety hazards precautions such as cones and to make sure everyone are safe."
