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, itâs considerably more affordable.

On average, movers on HireAHelper earn 4.8 stars out of 5.0 after 321,970 verified customer reviews
Amazing job loading my PODS container. I had blankets, wrap, and straps and they were very good at protecting all of my belongings and strapping it down in the container. I even had some odd shaped items like bike and office chair which were still secured upon unloading 500 miles away. Would recommend!
Joe and Mike were absolutely fantastic. They were accomodating and very professional. They wasted no time, and were extremely conscientious. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing help moving.
I highly recommend the guys from Mister Saguaro!! They were on time, efficient, careful with every piece of furniture, every bin, every box. They packed much more than I thought they could into a 16 ft PODS container and advised me on what size to get for my second container. They were delightful and friendly and took all the stress out of moving. I will definitely use them again! You should, too.
These helpers did a good job unloading the PODS container and setting up the furniture for us. I would hire them again should the occasion arise again.
The team was 3 hours late arriving but did keep us informed of the delay and provided updated eta’s on a regular basis. Once they arrived they were able to unload the fully packed pod in record time. Would definitely recommend this team to anyone.
Joshua and Daniel showed up on time, handled my items with care, and finished the job with time to spare! I would absolutely recommend them to help pack a pod.
I'm a 75 year old veteran in a wheelchair. My wife and I are remodeling our house and needed help moving the furniture into a POD for a few months. These guys were great! They were on time, polite, and worked hard. Looking forward to having the same crew come back and help us move everything back into the house.
Matt and Allen did a wonderful job. They are very careful and thoughtful and did a great job of carefully and efficiently packing my Pod. I highly recommend them. I can not say enough bad thing about Pods, however. Buyer beware, they will underestimate your moving needs and then sock it to you for twice as much money as originally quoted when your stuff does not fitvin the recommend POD
These guys are real pros. They are friendly to work with, on time, and did an outstanding job. They were worth whatever it cost me. They worked really hard and fast and the one guy was a whiz at fitting things into the truck. Hire them.
Mike and Ray did an AMAZING job! How they managed to matrix everything so perfectly into the truck was awe-inspiring and made for easy unloading. Everything made it safe and they were so mindful of our belongings. They were also super friendly and great to work with, thank you both for doing such a stellar job!!
Ivan and D'Angelo were an amazing pleasure to work with. They were quick, efficient, careful, super polite, and an absolute joy to work with. 10/10 would recommend to everyone if you need quick expert movers that are also pretty awesome people. They were even able to move a 200+ pound cabinet down the steps with no damage or incidents. Those guys are amazing
Our helpers were exactly on time. They were very professional and very careful and respectful with our furniture and household items. That’s why we don’t use anyone else.
Real Advice from Tucson Movers
"If you're planning on renting with U-Haul or renting a storage unit, be sure to have one booked as soon as possible! Many of our customers in Tucson struggle with local truck and storage rental companies being overbooked."
- Enhanced Moving and Storage, LLC
"Traffic picks up getting on/off the I-10 around mid-to-late morning, especially around campus! To keep drive time at a minimum, try to schedule your truck load-up so that your departure to the unload is in the early afternoon if you'll need to take the freeway."

All Tucson 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 SmartProtectionâ˘âan 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 moverâs 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 haveâmake 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.
