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 Thousand Oaks, CA

In Thousand Oaks labor-only moving help typically costs between $331.38 and $663.28. 

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 $78.16 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.

Antonio and Anthony were amazing! They unloaded our 16ft POD into an 2b2b apartment efficiently and quickly! Nothing was damaged as they were able to safely move everything. They finished in 2hrs which is definitely faster than I expected. Overall, fantastic experience and will definitely use them again in the future with any moving related needs.

Great crew. Fast, efficient, well organized by Jon. I am happy I ended up using them despite initial miscommunication on how two loads would be handled for me. They loaded one of the orders and I booked another crew for the same time to load another container which worked out to my benefit from timing perspective. Service-wise - top notch!

Not only were they fast and careful, they would take things out of my hand to move them and also advise me on how to pack boxes when I asked. They fit more in my Pod than I thought they could and left everything clean in their wake.

Absolutely the best most professional service I've had contact with in a long time! The employees are very hard working and very methodical. Anthony was very helpful and checked all aspects of the loading and packaging. I intend to use them again to load another trailer. The crew worked very hard the entire time there was no wasted time.

Franco and Joe were awesome! They unpacked a 16’ container in a little under 2 hours, which included many heavy items that needed to go up a flight of stairs. They worked their tails off and were friendly and pleasant the entire time. I would definitely use them again and give them my highest recommendation!

They were able to unload pretty quickly and bring all our stuff including a sectional couch through 3 flights of stairs. Thank you again!!!! Will definitely use Rigo’s for our future moves.
