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 Tacoma, WA
In Tacoma labor-only moving help typically costs between $338.14 and $757.32.
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 $91.47 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.

I had 3 awesome guys help me with the most disorganized and chaotic situation they could imagine on a Wednesday morning! The movers were friendly, talkative, and extremely helpful. They worked wonderfully as a team and were methodical in their packing and moving. Thank you guys so much!!
Sam and Naqj were excellent helpers. Courteous and worked with us to prioritize our time with our move. I appreciated their organization skills and care for our items and home.
Super job, hard working and so very effecient! Sam and his assistant got everything packed and we are very pleased. In the Navy we say “Bravo Zulu” for a job well done!
They were great! Both were considerate and very safe with all our things. They made sure everything was right where it was supposed to be and everything was in good condition. Would recommend!
Masoud & Ahmed were awesome! We greatly appreciated the flexibility when pack rat messed up and didn’t drop off the pod until later that day. These guys showed up the next day, fit us in and got everything moved. Thanks!
Toni and Sam were wonderful in helping us get everything into our new apartment. They were running a little late, but communicated really well and made the wait worth it. We’d recommend B&R to anyone in the area that needs some extra hands!
Our team was great. They worked hard and fast to load our pod as quickly as they could without taking a break. Would recommend them for sure. They communicated ahead of time and day if to time their arrival with the pod arrival. Don’t hesitate to use them!!
They did a fantastic job. They were right on time and the guys were very fast, efficient in their packing (very important when you're paying by the linear foot!), and very friendly. Their job is extremely difficult, and I appreciate how hard they work. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone else that needs moving labor assistance!
Excellent 2 man team. Arrived on time, did a fast, professional evaluation of what needed to be moved, and got to work. Had the furniture and boxes loaded, strapped down, and said goodbye on time.
Roosevelt is a pro. Did a great job. I suppose proof will be in the pudding when our stuff is delivered on the other end, but everything seemed well protected and carefully placed to minimize movement/damage during transit
They did a great job. Kept me informed as to when they would arrive and any unexpected delays. When they arrived they were very careful of my belongings and worked very efficiently. They were scheduled for 3 hours but finished in less than an hour. Definitely would use them again.
Sam and sahel did a fabulous job. As soon as they got here they got right to work and did an impressive amount, quickly and efficiently packing the boxes and furniture in the truck, maximizing space. Very friendly, professional and polite.
