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 Waukegan, IL

In Waukegan labor-only moving help typically costs between $430.66 and $530.50. 

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 $75.49 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.

These guys were awesome. They showed up down a man due to a family emergency, but worked super hard making sure everything I needed got moved into the pod, as well as bulky furniture I needed to get out of the apartment and into the back alley. I would hire them again.

Our 2 man crew was on time, were professional and worked hard loading our pod. For the items that we express concern about, they used additional blankets and stretch wrap. No damage occurred on the stairway or doorways. Would definitely use them again.

David’s team were helpful, kind, punctual, and even completed our job early. We had a POD with a specific delivery window that they were able to accommodate. If you need movers, these are the best guys for the job. We had a small house that was difficult to maneuver and they were realistic while also making the effort to get everything in. I’m grateful for their help!
