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 South Pasadena, CA

In South Pasadena labor-only moving help typically costs between $298.89 and $541.99. 

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 $84.91 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 early, after calling us to make sure it was okay! They worked carefully and efficiently too. Ivan and Carlos were great and gave us a helping hand on a couple of things….we didn’t have 2 hours-worth of moving and they stayed to help until their time was up. Many, many thanks!!!

They showed up early, and did an amazing job loading our POD. We were very concerned about what would fit and they somehow magically fit everything but a couch we had let them know was optional. I'd say every single inch of space was used. Amazing job. They also finished within 2 hours which was great. Highly recommend using them for your moving needs.

Absolutely the best most professional service I've had contact with in a long time! The employees are very hard working and very methodical. Anthony was very helpful and checked all aspects of the loading and packaging. I intend to use them again to load another trailer. The crew worked very hard the entire time there was no wasted time.

The two men from Rigo's did a great job. They were courteous, careful, and efficient. They packed things into my pod in a very professional manner that indicates they have done this before. Everything was still in place and still in one piece when I got the container again, after moving multiple states away.
