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.

If you are looking for a hard-working, courteous, and professional crew...look no further! I cannot say enough good things about their exemplary work ethic. We went well over our allotted hours and Marc's Moving did not desert us or do sloppy work. I would hire them again in a heart beat!
Skyler and his team were great! Communication was smooth and efficient. They showed up on time and did a great job! Very personal and inviting! Highly recommend!!!
Ivan & Felipe arrived exactly on time and were extremely cordial and polite. They were very professional as they unloaded our PackRat units. They handled our furniture well and nothing was damaged throughout the process. They were very efficient and completed their work in less time than planned. I would highly recommend them.
Moving is such a stressful time. But, when the competent movers Phil and Phil Sr. showed up, (on time and prepared) they handled my possessions with such skill and respect, it was such a relief! I would highly recommend this team to anyone who needs help. Thanks, guys!
they showed up on time and were very friendly. They worked hard and steady until the job was finished. I will definitely recommend them to anyone who needs that type of help.
Great help, wonderful guys were very friendly and had all our stuff moved within the hour. A big worry was not being able to fit everything we needed to in the moving truck, but they did a great job getting as much as possible securely in there. They were very respectful and gentle with all our furniture including packing away fragile glass terrariums neatly. I would definitely hire them again.
The two guys, Nick & Chris were very nice and personable. They worked non stop. My major complaint is that they were over booked and In a hurry to get to the next job. I had to help them, which is not what I paid for. So as a result, the majority of the boxes had to be pushed to the garage. They did help me attach a mirror to my dresser.
AJ and Chris did a great job offloading our ABF trailer and carefully placing everything where we wanted. Energetic, Courteous and Mindful. They arrived 30 mins late but hustled the entire time. Would definitely use them again.
Marissa and Jonathan went above and beyond to do an outstanding job for me this morning. They were efficient, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and they showed me much kindness. They are an asset to your company. I highly recommend them. Thank you for sending me two of your best! Sincerely, Cathy Garrett
Hard working, respectful of property and neighbors. Real professionals who know what they are doing. Easy to work with, too. Recommend without reservation!!!
On time and ready to immediately rock and roll! All three helpers hustled to efficiently load the moving truck and get the job done in just one trip to offload at the storage unit. They where mindful of all our fragile boxes and careful with our delicate furniture. They listened to our concerns and took appropriate care. I would definitely book them again.
We needed to change the move date and mvp was very helpful in helping us with that. They were on time. The movers moved all belongings with no dings or dents. I would definitely use them again and also recommend them to someone else. Thank you
