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. 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 less expensive.

Prefer hands-off? If you’d rather skip the driving and prioritize convenience, you can book a vetted full-service moving company right through HireAHelper.

The Cost of Moving in Skokie, IL

In Skokie labor-only moving help typically costs between $300.92 and $779.28. 

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 $81.13 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.

I am totally satisfied with the 2 man team of movers that provided the service of moving all our personal belongings into a 2 bedroom apartment on the top floor under grueling heat conditions and very narrow stairs. I will highly recommend their service as a job well done. Thank you for all your help.

The team was so fast - maybe took them 20 minutes to unload a Budget cargo van (a bedroom and then some). Everyone one of them was efficient and respectful of me and my belongings. Happy to support an owner from VA!
