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 Portland, ME
In South Portland labor-only moving help typically costs between $420.58 and $459.46.
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 $90.00 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.

Beryl and Troy showed up on time. They worked very hard and completed the job we hired them for. We appreciate their help. We would definitely hire them again. Thank you!
The guys were on time, pleasant courteous, respectful, and quick to get the job done and done right. We would use them again. Highly recommend.
Highly recommend. They were professional and personable. It was clear that they handled items with care. They loaded the truck to standard and used experience to save space. They also accomplished a lot in a short amount of time.
M&M movers were efficient, kind, and very careful with my furniture. They filled up a Pod remarkably quickly, and kept me informed of their progress the whole time. I would highly recommend them for anyone who needs help moving, and would 100% use them again!
Great guys, on time, fast and efficient, and most of all we’re careful and made sure to not damage or scuff any furniture or walls. Very friendly! My pup loved them also.
Professional, friendly, and agreeable!! They did an excellent job wrapping everything up and took great care while moving items. I would highly recommend their service.
Mo and crew were amazing! Communicated easily, moved fast, packed strategically, gave sounds guidance on questions. Would recommend and hire again any time.
They were cordial and did a great job with the heavy lifting but got lost on the way to my new residence adding an hour on the move but I wasnt charged
Wicked Smooth was on time and very communicative. They even let us know that one of our planters had tipped over in the pod and showed us where the dirt fell out. Awesome job.
Beryl and Eric were on time, efficient and very friendly. Their knowledge of how to efficiently pack the POD was impressive. We would highly recommend their services. Thank you Bell Boys!
