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.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 321,975 verified customer reviews
Great movers! The guys were on time and called to give me an eta on arrival. They were pleasant young men and did a great job moving in boxes and furniture. I would hire this company again.
Helpers called shortly before the arrival window began to give me an update on their ETA. They packed the truck up fairly efficiently and did a quick unload as well. My items were treated respectfully and nothing was damaged. I was thankful for the help to move the heavy big furniture!
Right on time and moved quickly with precise packing to navigate all usable space within the pod. Will be calling them back when pod needs emptied. Highly recommend.
These guys are real professionals, not only moving the load but when it comes to packing the pods, they are Tetris masters. I was nervous but don’t have any concerns this is the group to do it. They were stellar
These guys are lifesavers! We've used Moving You Forward a couple of times, and like all of our other experiences, the team we worked with today was professional, engaging, and worked quickly. I highly recommend them for your next move!
Great moving experience! They were hustlers and even finished a little early! Very kind and easy to work with! I would recommend and use their services again!
The guys arrived on time and were extremely professional. Checked in with us on pieces they were concerned about being fragile and did a great job packing the container. Unfortunately we won't know how it all held up since it won't be coming out of the container for 2 months.
These two are TETRIS Masters! It was unbelievable how much of our stuff they stored in a PackRat, and how careful they were. Up and down a flight of stairs constantly as well. 1000% recommend them.
Jimmy, Jay, and Kyle were right on time. They moved quickly and were done well within the allotted 3 hours. Very considerate about placing things where I wanted. Reaasembled 2 beds, dining table, and desk. Would recommend them!!
Angel and Phillip did a great job! We'll ask for them when we move back in! Polite, pleasant, hard working and good communications before arrival.
The 4 guys who helped us move into pods were EXCELLENT—extremely professional, fast, and they built great rapport with our whole family. The crew leader wasn’t sure everything would fit at first, but he used his mad Tetris skills to pack the pods meticulously and perfectly—while still moving incredibly fast. Even my 6-year-old said, “Wow, these guys move quick!”
They arrived at the job site on time and got right to work. They were very careful and pleasant to work with. They worked straight through till all five PODS were empty in six hours. Fantastic job they earned every penny and it was worth it.

All Shirley 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.
