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. 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 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 more affordable.

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 The Plains, VA

In The Plains labor-only moving help typically costs between $318.13 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 $78.49 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in The Plains is what we’re here for.

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.

Movers were awesome and they knew exactly how to pack the things in the POD to save space, I was worried that the POD I ordered may not fit everything but to my surprise they packed so well that I still have space for adding more items

Hard working. Came on time. Good at fitting so many items in a small truck space. However, after a long drive to our destination, a couple of items were broken or ripped. I would suggest that they ask about the distance to the destination and fit things together so that they can endure long drives or make suggestions for padding.

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!
