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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

 Labor-Only Local-Full Service 
St. Michael, MN $459.87 $1,205.12 
Minnesota $460.52 $1,243.09 
The United States $451.90 $1,167.84

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $459.87 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in St. Michael, MN, with an average hourly rate of $89.81. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

Did you know? More than 1 out of 3 HireAHelper customers use their move helpers to load or unload their PODS container.

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, it’s considerably more affordable.

Compare Costs for Additional Moving Options

Our Moving Cost Calculator can help you compare and estimate costs for local or long distance moves, across Labor Only, Full Service, and Moving Container moves. You can adjust the distance of your move and home size to compare prices and help plan your budget.

Once you've used the calculator to do your research, you can compare quotes from movers that are available and ready to help near you.

Great guys to work with. They were early arriving, they worked hard moving some difficult pieces up our staircase and They were very willing to add help with extra items. They also were concerned about how things were packed in our trailer so items wouldn’t get damaged during the move. I would definitely use them again.

Mighty Mike's Moving
They did a really awesome job! I hired two other movers on this move, but neither came close to the job Mighty Mike’s did. They were very efficient, friendly and respected every piece they moved. Not to forget to mention, pricing was better then the others I have used. I will always chose this company for any moving needs I have.

They did a great job. Sam was amazing. 1 guy complained the whole day, the light colored hair guy that wasnt Sam. 1 guy started cramping and while I feel bad for him, we did pay per hour for each guy and the last hour for sure he wasnt much help. Cramping is spontaneous, I know, just a bummer since i had requested an early start and ended up with a 2:20 pm start. I do feel it was chaotic and that guy's complaining made it more stressful. I wanted it to be more organized and would have paid for more hours to get my thibgs where I needed them. Instead it looked like a tornado hit and I have moved so many heavy things to where I need them, myself. The guys worked hard, you may want to reduce your price for the 2nd shift. And make sure your guys know this stuff might be nothing or ugly to them but it means something to me.
