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 Sterling, VA

In Sterling labor-only moving help typically costs between $225.98 and $821.32. 

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 $78.06 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.

The two young men who moved and packed our container were ontime, friendly and very patient with us. They did an amazing job of packing our container and making sure everything was loaded correctly AND they finished the job within the allotted timeframe. They helped make a stressful day a little easier to deal with. I highly recommend John and his crew!

Jason and Eddie did a wonderful job. Very professional, on time, and worked hard. Jason was the lead coordinator of the move and really knew how to help guide the packing of the truck most efficiently. They both did great and I would recommend them!

The helper team was Pierre and his colleague. Very calm and respectful. It was raining and I’d been a bit overwhelmed but their calm and focused demeanor was an immediate relief. They were steady and measured and were done in the two hours. They asked the right questions and were respectful. Would hire you again. Thank you Team Pierre.
