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. 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 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 more affordable.

The Cost of Moving in Shacklefords, VA

In Shacklefords labor-only moving help typically costs between $318.13 and $821.32. 

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 $79.63 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.

Ryan and Schaefer were fantastic movers. Helped us with a smile even though we had a lot going on, and a lot of coming and going! A complicated day was made so much easier by their hard work, timeliness, and the careful way they moved all of our items. Highly recommend and would use them again!

We had a quick job for them to unload what was left of our furniture in a 16’ PODS. They worked quickly and carefully. We’d probably hire them again to unload our other PODS with our boxes.

The men that did our moving in for us today, including Kimon, Antonio, and PJ (I cannot remember the other gentlemen's names, I'm sorry) were really hard workers who were very careful with our items and were also very friendly, kind, and courteous. I'd definitely recommend them and would use their services again. They started right on time, too! Good people.
