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.

The guys showed up a little early with positive attitudes.They did exactly what i needed them to do and then followed me in the truck to help unload everything at the Salvation Army, i would use them again for sure.
These guys were great. They managed to fit the entire contents of my two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment into one average-sized moving truck, and nothing was damaged. They were efficient, professional, and friendly. I would definitely use their services again!
They squeezed my last minute move in at 8pm. Not only did they show up on time, they came ready to work. They were professional, polite, and even shared a joke or two. When it started pouring rain, they were undaunted and got the loading, unloading and bed assembly done with smiles. The next time I need to move, they will be the only company I call. Thanks guys!
Marathon mover did great job moving my furniture they where accurate on time , very friendly,explained everything to me and get my furniture inside the house without any damage to the property or the furniture ,I do highly recommend them
Absolutely highly recommend this group. They were diligent, hard working the entire time moving me down two flights of treturous steps. Not one item damaged in loading the truck. Very punctual, and hard working. Fair pricing . Would definitely hire again if the opportunity came up.
The two men from Team Moving who unloaded my moving truck were fabulous! They were organized, worked efficiently, and handled our furniture with great care. I couldn't have asked for better service. Highly recommend!
Amazing job! On time, friendly and efficient movers. They were extra careful moving my 100lb industrial sewing machine up three floors. All boxes and items were unloaded and placed in their respective rooms with no issue. Would definitely recommend!
The guys did a great job! They took care of my furniture and large screen TV and packed everything well. They delivered everything in place and worked safely and efficiently. The total bill was a little pricey, but if you want a hassle-free move, I highly recommend them.
These guys are the real deal! We were a later in the day job, and they were still energetic and focused, unloading our pods in a professional manner. Thanks for making our move such a positive experience!
JJ, Kolby and Dylan arrived ready to work and were friendly and professional . I had two containers to pack with the usual stuff you find in a 4 bedroom house. The men were respectful of my property and the walls. I will be hiring Sterners again since this move is temporary.
Little Justin's Moving Co was a great help. They work hard, they work fast, they work to make things right. I have hired other movers in the past, but Howard and Seth from Little Justin's Moving Co are the best there is—no one else comes close: they are on time, prepared to do the job, work hard, treat your property with the utmost care, and will the movers I ask for by name the next time I move.
Excellent service, worked really hard and quickly. Would recommend them and would use them again! We have some heavy bedroom furniture and they did not even need to take the drawers out to lift it. We moved into a new built house and they took their shoes off and were very respectful. Great job!
