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.
| Full-Service Moving | Labor-Only Moving | |

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |
| Loading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in Washington, OR
In Washington labor-only moving help typically costs between $343.34 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 $89.17 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.
Labor-Only | Local-Full Service | |
|---|---|---|
Washington, OR | $378.75 | $976.74 |
Oregon | $380.71 | $918.43 |
The United States | $356.65 | $821.07 |

Dante and Josh are amazing highly skilled and talented. How they got all my stuff into my pod is a mystery. I was so nervous but they put me at ease quickly. I don’t normally write reviews, but they earned a glowing review.
The crew was amazing, flexible, and super friendly. I was very anxious about whether my things would fit, and they not only made it fit (somehow), but talked me off the ledge while they were at it. I highly recommend Five Star, and will use them again!
These two movers were absolute professionals and accomplished moving everything from our two U-Haul U-Boxes for our cross country move from Albany NY to Portland Oregon in the two hours allotted. We were able to shoehorn our two bedroom apartment’s furnishings into our new one bedroom apartment space and once we get the boxes unpacked it should be fine! We definitely recommend these movers!
Their work was efficient and professional. They arrived on time. They handled heavy objects and furniture that was difficult to get out of the house. They quickly came up with solutions to not stall the time. Both were very friendly and helpful.
Timely, worked quickly, courteous. When the sofa bed we brought wouldn’t fit down the stairs, they moved it to a first floor room and disassembled a first floor sofa and reassembled it downstairs. Highly recommended!
Excellent crew, very attentive and meticulous, not to break anything, which they did not! The crew was also very friendly I would recommend it very highly
J&M Moving went the extra mile and added crew members when our original arrival time slot got delayed by three hours due to another customer. Thank you! The extra hands were pivotal in making the second of a two-part off-load easier. The guys were courteous and focused amidst the chaos and got everything into the apartment and garage. Great job!
Great team. Very friendly and helpful. They make sure you are pleased while they move you. I asked to move extra stuff and they were very courteous and told me no problem. I highly recommend their services.
They were so amazing, hard working, fast, friendly, respectful. I'm so grateful they really saved the day for me on a hot day with an injured hand and unable to unload the Uhaul truck myself.
Both Glen and Zach were great in helping us move into our new home. Very fast, careful with our belongings and communicative. Would highly recommend.
Jacob, Tony and Jacob did a fantastic job. Very courteous and professional. Man can they load a truck! Would use them again if we were moving locally.
The guys were great and DJ is a puzzle master at fitting the maximum possible in the pod. The crew worked tirelessly from the moment they arrived until they were done. They also went out of their way to expertly wrap the few items I hadn't. Great job!
Real Advice from Washington Movers
"If moving from Portland, consider renting your truck outside Portland to avoid the city's higher rental tax. On longer moves, the savings can be substantial. "
- Beaver Moving
"Portland's street offers a lot of hustle and bustle, so be prepared for our movers to act fast when loading and unloading your truck while it's parked in a metered curbside spot. If you happen to move just on the outside of Downtown Portland, be aware of tight streets lined with vehicles, bicycle corrals, and even some of Portland's famous food carts."
