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

| Moving Truck | Included | You Provide |

| Unloading Help | ✅ | ✅ |
| Packing | Add-on | Add-on |
The Cost of Moving in Boston, MA
In Boston labor-only moving help typically costs between $374.93 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 $89.58 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 | |
|---|---|---|
Boston, MA | $435.45 | $1,059.10 |
Massachusetts | $417.64 | $910.06 |
The United States | $356.65 | $821.07 |

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!
Fortex was great. Enrique and Marcos were the best. They took so much stress out of the move. Additionally they wrapped everything with care and even called off the move when it started to rain. The next day they were back to finish the job. A+ experience which I was not expecting.
What a long day for these guys dealing with the rain even pouring at times.They were careful with my belongings. They worked tirelessly and quickly.. Continuously, asked where items should be put which I truly appreciated. I enjoyed their comradery and how they helped each other. They were polite with good vibes during such a huge change I have gone through. Thank you so very much!
On time, prepared, efficient, respectful, friendly, and hard workers. Couldn’t have asked for better help. We will definitely be contacting them should we need movers in the future.
2nd time using this company, I requested Ryan. He's professional and friendly, as was his helper Paul. He's excellent at putting the puzzle of furniture & boxes in the storage box. Highly reccomend them. EG
Full House Family Moving guys were my knights in shining armor as they transferred my stuff from a relocation cube to my UHAUL rental. They are incredible workers, good communicators, arrived exactly when they said they would, and overall heroes in my world. I would recommend them highly and would rehire them for any further moving needs. Thanks, Guys!!
I cannot recommend CAM enough!!! Brandon and Joe were literally the hardest workers ever. After a few bad experiences with movers, we were nervous, but they exceeded our expectations. RECOMMEND 100%!!!!! Thanks guys!!!
I cannot say enough about what a fantastic job the team did on our whole house move. We had four PODS and the movers packed them brilliantly. Collaborative, professional, timely, hard working- they were exceptional. You can’t go wrong with Hire a Helper!
Wow! We highly recommend Fortex Moving. Henrique, Will, and Marcos were wonderful. They texted us with an ETA and arrived exactly on time. They were prepared, worked hard, and were very respectful. They were very efficient, took good care of our things, and packed our moving container very effectively. We would definitely use them again. Thank you guys!
Javi and his team were excellent—arrived on schedule, worked quickly and carefully, and were kind and courteous throughout the process. I give them my highest recommendation.
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.
Thank you to Veasna, Hannah and Khris for packing my Pods unit. These guys are the best! They are knowledgeable about packing everything and took great care with all the furniture. They are polite, respectful and hard working as well as efficient.
