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. For more on the difference between labor-only and local full-service moves, read below.

Labor-Only Moving Costs by Move Size

As mentioned above, it costs $446.29 on average to hire moving helpers (labor-only) in Trumansburg, NY, with an average hourly rate of $83.12. Your final price will depend on how long your move takes.

To get a better sense of what your move might cost, you can see the average cost for different-sized moves in the table below. Learn more about HireAHelper's methodology for calculating average costs based on proprietary data from over 1 million moves.

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, it’s considerably more affordable.

Excellent movers! Very professional & polite. Helped direct me to navigate the moving truck around several trees. Packed the truck positioning items securely & used my ratchet straps to secure heavy items and the rest of the load. Worked efficiently the whole time. Definitely experienced. Would hire again without any hesitation. Thank you guys for the great service!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Mickey and Omar were prompt and totally on task. They answered any questions I had and were proficient at packing. This was a very short distance move but they treated me the same as if I were going a long distance. They were fun but respectful and went above and beyond. I would use them again in a heartbeat.

They were awesome. We had packed the truck ourselves at one location and they met us at the 2nd location to help with bigger furniture. They pulled out some stuff we had packed and re-arranged things to fit perfectly with hopes of minimal shifting. They were quick, polite, and needed little direction. I would recommend them to anyone looking for great workers! Thanks for the help!

The helpers who we used worked hard and did a good job loading a 16 foot Pod in the three hours we had them. They did damage our washing machine while bringing it outside though. They only brought themselves, gloves and rope. They did not bring an appliance cart or any other equipment. They actually used some of the equipment and tools that I own.

Pleasant, professional, very cooperative. Worked efficiently and got tons to fit into our small packing cube. A giant Tetris game. 4 stars because they were delayed over an hour, which caused our loading to be partly in the afternoon rains. Most unfortunate. They did call, however, to keep us informed about delay. Very helpful.

Frequently Asked Moving Questions in Trumansburg

You've got moving questions, we’ve got answers. Learn what to expect when moving in Trumansburg.

 

The short answer is that booking with HireAHelper saves you hours of work, helps you get the best price and value, and protects you and your belongings. Here are some of the key ways HireAHelper makes booking movers better:

  • Vetted Movers You Can Trust: Every mover on our platform is vetted, background-checked, and held to our high standards. And if anything goes wrong, we act as your advocate to find a resolution with your mover. If we can’t find a resolution, our $1,000 Service Guarantee will cover you and your items.
  • Book in Minutes, Not Hours: Contacting multiple local movers, comparing quotes, determining their availability, and researching their reputation can take hours of work. On the other hand, HireAHelper lets you easily compare the reputation of movers, instantly determine availability, see transparent pricing for each, and book online in just a few clicks—even same-day in many areas.
  • Dedicated Customer Support: Last minute questions are normal, and our experienced and friendly team is here 7 days a week to help with anything before, during, or after your move. 
  • Smart, Affordable Protection Options: HireAHelper offers an easy and affordable way to protect your items during a labor-only move. Our optional SmartProtection covers up to $10,000 worth of belongings, and the lowest tier ($2,500) is only $19.
  • Best Price Guarantee: All these benefits must come at a higher price, right? Wrong. HireAHelper’s platform lets you compare rates for different movers, so you can be sure you’re getting a good deal. Found a better price for the same service? We’ll match it. That means you don’t pay extra to use HireAHelper—in fact, you may save money.

All Trumansburg movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.

One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtection™—an optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.

Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.

One set of stairs is always included in your mover’s rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you have—make sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.

You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.

Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
