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, itās considerably more affordable.

They were 1 1/2 hours late arriving to the job. However, they did great job after they arrived. They were able to get everything unloaded in 1 1/2 hours. They really worked hard. They didn't bring anything to drink and it was hot. Luckily we had extra bottles of water with us. Although they were late, we would recommend them and wouldn't hesitate to hire them again.
My movers were simply OUTSTANDING!! They knew what they were doing...precise, quick,super helpful. Can't say enough how great they both were. SUPER HAPPY!!! Thank you! Kim Carnochan
Good company, excellent service. Only one incident with the first movers, about breaking a chair. the second were very good; they did and excellent job putting everything in place.
Angel and Efrain were on time, super nice and finished within the time limit. I am extremely grateful that I was able to secure such amazing help and the same day. Definitely will use your services again!
Misael and his teammate were incredible. Everything was done in the two hours we were originally quoted, and they even helped assemble a piece of furniture that wasn’t in the container they unloaded for me. I will reach out to him directly if I need loading or unloading help in the future.
Both men were professional, fast and did a great job of protecting furniture as they moved things into the house. I would most definitely recommend them again.
My workers were waiting at the gate to the storage unit when we arrived with the truck..They went to work as soon as they saw the space they were dealing with..They were very nice and listened to where we wanted our things stacked..I made these arrangements from Oregon to help unload in California..I was very glad to hear from my men that they would be there when we arrived..Great service!! Merra
The men did a great job! They arrived on time, we went over what needed moved and they got on it. They worked great great together as a team. After they completed, we went over the house to make sure there was not any more items. Definitely recommend that team to others and hope they move up in the company! Thanks again and will be calling on your company in the future!
Gene and Trey rocked it out!!! They were courteous and professional. We had some heavy stuff and they figured it out! I would definitely hire them again. I promise to have lighter stuff!
Quickest Movers certainly lives up to their name. We still can't believe how hard this team works and how quickly and knowledgeably they moved our parents' things out of the storage unit and into their home. This was our second time hiring them, and they were on time, brought their own dollies, worked extremely hard and diligently, and were so respectful. Hire them-- you won't regret it.
Fit Movers LLC move fast, are efficient and very friendly. They were on time and my truck was offloaded in 1 hour and everything was in its place and even connected. Highly recommend.
Very hard worker. Treated our belongings with respect as if they were his own. Very respectful to us. I would recommend him and would definitely use him again.
