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.

The Cost of Moving in South Elgin, IL
In South Elgin labor-only moving help typically costs between $261.40 and $693.69.
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 $77.99 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.

They were so awesome. Very efficient and deligent. I wish I could remember all of their names to comment on each individually but everyone was extremely professional and communicative. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone who needs great movers.
They were so incredible moving my entire life up 3 stories. I can’t thank them enough for everything they did. These three men were amazing and I’m so grateful for them! I highly recommend them because if they can do this, they can move anything
Shaq and his teammate were very attentive and very helpful. They handled our unpacking with more care than the loaders had, and some items are better contained in storage than they were during the trip to storage. We really appreciate their great work and professionalism. We will definitely recommend the services to anyone.
I used them for packing a container. Great communication from the moment I booked to our scheduled time. Texted status and answered my questions before packing date Arrived promptly and worked the entire time. Did a great job of wrapping and packing all of our furniture and boxes.
All 3 men were super efficient and worked very quickly. I got injured before we even started packing things and they assured me that I wouldn’t have to do anything and could just relax. I would definitely recommend these workers and would hire them again if needed!
Nik and Michael and the team was excellent. They were fast, careful with my furniture, courteous and flexible about what I needed. Highly recommend.
They arrived on time. They were very courteous and respectful. They did an amazing job of loading my moving truck. They knew how to load it correctly. I was very impressed and very happy with their work. Thank you for making this move easier than I expected.
The guys did an awesome job! They unloaded a 28’ trailer in 2.5 hours flat even though the truck was missing the ramp. Could not recommend them any higher!
Very friendly and knowledgeable on packing and securing items so nothing would break. Stated they were there to help us with all our moving needs and they did. Great Job!
They arrived right on time, were very friendly, efficient/timely, & did a great job wrapping/packing/moving everything safely. They’re experienced movers & are also reasonably priced. I’d highly recommend them!
Akeem, Rickey, Korben, and Jay were incredible! They turned a stressful move into a smooth, easy process. On time, efficient, reliable, and friendly—truly the best movers I’ve ever had. Highly recommend!
These gentlemen did an amazing job! Quick, efficient, courteous and organized. They moved our entire home with Tetris master efficiency. We hope we have the same team when we move into our home in August.
