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.

Can’t say enough about the professionalism, speed and care which was exhibited by our two helpers. Will use them again and highly recommend for others
Superior Moving Services are the hardest working men on the planet. They unloaded our 26 ft. moving truck with exceptional care and in warped speed. These guys were very professional and very friendly. Although not necessary, they took extra time after the move to sweep out the moving truck for us. I’d give them more stars if I could.
Great crew and would use them again any time! Professional, hard working and experienced. You won't go wrong with this crew. We'd use them again in a heart beat.
They were awesome, and careful. Appreciate how they left screws in the table & kitchen table either taped on or in a piece of furniture. Quite personable. Definitely would recommend them! Pat H. Kalamazoo, Michigan.
The two guys that showed up did a fantastic job and put everything exactly where I needed the stuff put.
