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. For in-town moves, 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 more affordable.

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 York, VA

In York labor-only moving help typically costs between $318.13 and $821.32. 

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 $82.04 an hour.

HireAHelper’s Best Price Guarantee


Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in York is what we’re here for.

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.

We had a quick job for them to unload what was left of our furniture in a 16’ PODS. They worked quickly and carefully. We’d probably hire them again to unload our other PODS with our boxes.

These two gentlemen were troopers. They battled the heat with no complaints. Were positive and willing to go the extra mile to make moving the items into place the best way possible. I would hire them again when/if the need arises. Professionalism and pride in the work they do!

The absolute best packers, loaders, and movers! Dontrel runs a tight outfit, ready to tackle any moving challenge. I’ve moved over seven times in my career and these guys by far have been the most professional, most efficient, and most effective. They came fully prepared with tools and dollies and guys to move a lot of furniture. Thanks gents—Impressive work!!

These guys are amazing! What took us five hours to load up took them 50 minutes to unload and put in all the proper rooms. They were fun and had a good sense of humor and made the whole process enjoyable even though it’s hot outside moving is never fun. I would use these guys in a heartbeat if I needed the help again.

They were professional, timely, incredibly lighthearted and respectful, and consistently self driven. We have used hire a helper during many moves, but my husband and I keep talking about how they’ve been the best so far. If we were staying in the Hampton Roads area we would absolutely be hiring them again.
