The Cost of Hiring Movers in Wake, NC

On average, it costs $298.47 to hire moving helpers in Wake, NC. Your actual price will depend on how long your move takes—but across Wake, the typical hourly rate for moving labor is around $74.06.

These average costs reflect “labor-only” moves—where you hire movers to load or unload your rental truck, shipping container (like a PODS container), or storage unit. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to move and is often far more affordable than hiring a full-service moving company—more on that below.

The Cost of Full-Service Moving

The average cost of a local full-service move in Wake, NC is $1,104.50, with an average hourly rate of $101.87. Full-service moves do cost more, but they come with serious convenience—you won’t need to rent a truck, drive it, or coordinate a shipping container.

Prefer the all-in-one, hands-off experience? Full-service might be your move. Here’s how it compares to labor-only options.

Crew showed up within the time window and let us know when they were about 10min away. They didn’t work insanely fast but it was very hot out and they were extremely meticulous about packing the truck efficiently and safely. They were very nice and personable.

How Hiring Moving Labor Works with HireAHelper

HireAHelper offers a smarter way to get help with your move: labor-only moving. You rent the truck or container, and we connect you with vetted, professional movers to do the heavy lifting. Labor-only moving is a smart way to save money, and it’s incredibly flexible. You stay in control of your move without doing it all yourself. Here are just a few things your movers can help with:

  • Loading or unloading your shipping container or moving truck
  • Moving heavy furniture
  • Packing help
  • Moving into or out of a storage unit

Prefer to skip the driving—or don’t have a container? No problem. Our platform also features full-service moving companies that handle all the details for you, including transportation, loading, and unloading.

Real Advice from Wake Movers

We asked local movers about what you should know about moving in Wake. (They’re really nice!)

"Contact the municipality for the required permits to park storage containers. However, if the customer request, Humphrey Transportation can contact the local government municipalities to get this information for the customer."
