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 Ventura, CA

In Ventura 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 $92.54 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.

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!

So Cal Movers did a great job with my recent unloading job. They showed up right on time, were courteous and helpful, and worked extra hard to assemble a piece of furniture that wasn't cooperating. They even ended the job ahead of schedule. Would definitely recommend.
