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.

Mohamed and Ahmed really came through for me and with only about 3-4 hours notice same day. They showed up at my move-in site and the three of us got that 26-ft U-Haul ruck emptied in a couple hours and they also helped me get a couple of beds together, including a large full-size bunk. Very good attitude and strong guys. I recommend them highly.
I was very pleased with the work they did! They were on time, They were curtious ,and took special care of my belongings! They were friendly and I felt very comfortable in working with them! I would diffently recommend them!
They were on time and communicated well about when they were going to arrive. They were prepared and asked many questions about how I wanted things done and what I wanted placed where. They were very careful with all of my things and were very personable and respectful. I would definitely use them again!
There were problems with scheduling and the original team were not available which made the job completed very late in the day. The team that picked up the job was very good and no fault of their own that the job was completed so late
EXTREMELY professional, kind, hard-working, and understanding! Absolute pleasure to work with. Got everything done in under an hour. I can't praise them highly enough!
The guys were great. They are experienced, friendly and courteous. They were careful with fragile items. They called to confirm arrival time. We would use them again.
David and his crew are incredible. Super fast and hardworking. Very professional and carful with your items. The best group of movers I’ve ever worked with. Very courteous and respectful the entire time. Worth every penny and more. Highly recommend you use them!
The guys did a great job and did it fast. A little too fast on occasion since I could hardly keep up with where to put everything as they unloaded, but that's no bad thing. They were careful with the furniture, polite and friendly, and unloaded the truck in record time. I will certainly hire them again.
Muhammad and Alex from Vim Transportation did a fantastic job! They communicated well before the move, which is important to me. They showed up on time, and went right to work. They were courteous and very professional. I would definitely use them again
I was very pleased with the professional job they did packing my moving truck. It was difficult for them because I had more things than space, but they figured it out. When I arrived at my destination nothing was damaged. Would definitely used them again. Hard workers.
The team that was to be at my house for a big job did not show up. So for not knowing they were doing this large house this day they were good. They first had scheduled job to do and then said they would come do mine which I was very thankful for. I would recommend them and again thank them very much.
MO Pack n Move was awesome. Miranda and crew arrived on time with all the equipment they needed. They took care to protect my belongings better than I had. They were efficient and well-organized. I am grateful to MO Pack n Move for making my day so much less stressful. If/when the time comes, I will hire them again.

All Scranton 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.
