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.

The Cost of Moving in Wakefield, MA
In Wakefield labor-only moving help typically costs between $408.19 and $687.19.
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 $70.49 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.

Communication was excellent leading up to the move. They were on time and just kept on working! They were great about putting boxes in the rooms I directed them to and lifted some pretty bulky furniture no problem. I would 100% recommend!
Peter, Christian and Jariel were amazing, arrived early and got everything done super quick. They were an amazing help and super nice guys, very easy to work with, and helped us wrap up our furniture! They were careful about our cat even though she constantly escaped and got in the way. Overall, highly recommend them, couldn’t have gone better.
These guys were totally awesome—prompt,knowledgable, super friendly and fast, and could they get at it—super fast, very strong. Were exceedingly careful with everything, handled with the utmost care. Will recommend these to others we know are moving, would and surely would use them for any future moves— a great crew!
Terrell and his team were absolutely amazing. Extremely fast and efficient, and handled all of my belongings with care . They also showed up as a team of 3 though I paid for 2 helpers, and were able to move even quicker due to this. It was very clear that they are experienced movers. I would definitely hire First Class Movers again- they lived up to the name!
3 people came even though it was booked for 2 person job. They could have disassembled some of the stuff to fit things more properly but still everything fit in a single relocube so thats ok. They were polite and respectfull
Easy to schedule online. Guys did a great job! Followed instructions and had a great attitude. Very friendly and professional, will be hiring them again!
The move of items from an 80 % full 16 foot POD to the New Hampshire home went smoothly and the two workers were carefull and efficient completing the job within the two hours. I would recomend them to others for a move. They were on timeand worked hard.
Brandon p and Joseph were awesome! On time, super fast, really took care of our things, and I booked yesterday as I had some friends cancel on me last minute. Would hire again in a heartbeat, thanks guys!!
My experience with Fortex moving was incredibly stress-free! Henrique was very communicative and friendly. The guys unloaded my POD carefully and efficiently. Couldn't be happier with my experience, and I would definitely book them again!
Awesome job! Fortex was absolutely the best movers we have ever encountered across all aspects. We would definitely hire our crew again. Punctual, polite, careful, efficient and hard working.
Ryan and team were on-time, super efficient and professional, friendly, courteous - the best movers I've ever work with. I've moved with them twice, ad I strongly recommend them.
These guys were great. They showed up on time, and were immediately ready to go! The team was very quick and efficient, they took care not to damage any items, and ensured that items went where I wanted them. I would recommend them and would hire them again in a heartbeat.
