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.

Larry and Elton were awesome! They quickly unloaded and set up an entire truck in under three hours. If you have a chance to hire A1 Loyalty Movers, I suggest you do.
Leroy and his team have been a great partner and my customer are always pleased to have them assist with unpacking their freight delivery and bring the items inside to their suite. "Thank you so much for sending Leroy and his assistant, they were both so pleasant and polite"
On time, very prepared, incredibly hard working while still being respectful of my property. They also made way better use of space in the moving company trailer than I would have, so the money I spent on the help is way less than the money I saved with the moving company.
They called when late. They did a fantastic job taking care of my possessions. They were very kind and knowledgeable about packing. Their method of packing was like working a puzzle. Great job guys!!!
They worked great and had everything moved in quickly! Hard workers for sure. they arrived within the time window and got right to work preparing to unload. They were considerate of our home and belongings. Would recommend them for others in need of movers.
Excellent moving labor help! ABF sent a broken ramp with my U-Pack trailer and this team did an excellent job working without it! I highly recommend them! They worked very well together!
Came on time . Put items where we wanted them. Used common sense when moving bulky items. Used caution when moving fragile items. Worked great together. Did a great job.
Cherry and Alex were great! They not only loaded our stuff into storage, they helped organize it. Their work shows a lot of experience in moving. Plus they were extremely careful with multiple generations of antiques that needed to be stored. I highly recommend them.
3 man load and unload crew was essential to moving our family. We couldn’t have done it without them! They diligently protected all of furniture—no damage during transit. Only negative was some minor damage to our front door and floor while moving our fridge. They took full responsibility and were easy to work with for an insurance claim.
The team showed up on time and did a very good job protecting my furniture by wrapping it in blankets and wrap to prevent damage of my furniture before loading it on the trailer. I would recommend this company.
Our workers arrived on time. They were very friendly and polite. They listened to what we wanted and executed everything extremely well. We really appreciated their hard work.
Big Win did a great job They were on time and unloaded our furniture and boxes carefully and efficiently. I highly recommend them and would personally use them again.

All Shepherd 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.
