What Is Labor-Only?
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 moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, itās considerably more affordable.

These guys were awesome! They not only showed up (which is truly not s given in this present day) , they worked hard and smart, they not only loaded the two uhaul trucks we had but they calculated how to load it to maximum the available space. We felt really fortunate to have their help.
They were amazing ! I’ve never booked moving labor help on - line before or even know it was thing! I was skeptical of how the entire thing would work but after some research I felt more comfortable booking the movers . They were courteous and efficient! I would use again ! Amber Dill
The Second Movers were fantastic. Perfectly on time, very efficient, Hard-working, professional, and very kind. I will use them any time in the future. I highly recommend them,
Communicate on their arrival time, were very meticulous on packing making sure every available space was used efficiently. They were very careful in packing and treated the furniture like it was their own. Great personalities friendly and professional. Would definitely use again, they know what they are doing.
I had to wait a little while because one of the helpers didn’t show up, but the local owner showed up and got everything moved into my house and put together several pieces of antique furniture. They did a fabulous job and would highly recommend!
An hour before our start time window the company contacted me and let me know the original team did not show up for work that morning. This company stayed in touch with me throughout the day and found a new crew to help us unload our PODS before the end of the day. The crew was amazing, kind, and extremely hard working. Even with the snafu at the start I would still totally recommend this company!
The group of guys we had were GREAT. The got started quickly and worked quickly and efficiently. They were so pleasant and courteous! They worked hard to fit everything in our two pack rat containers. They took excellent care in moving all or furniture including 2 refrigerators, 1 freezer and a washer and dryer! Best movers I have ever worked with!
Terrance and Tyler rock! They were on time, courteous and very careful unloading the POD. I would recommend them anytime to anyone with moving needs… thanks HireAHelper!
Due to a recent hurricane in the region the movers were 90 minutes late but they called several times to update us on their arrival time. Once they arrived they worked quickly and did an excellent job of loading our belongings. We were very pleased with their work and professionalism. We would use them again and would recommend their work.
Wonderful! We have moved A LOT over the last 20 years and they were the best movers we have ever had. They worked quickly, non-stop, and were very careful with our belongings.
One of the best companies I have ever hired. Hard-working, very careful with my furniture. Pointed out any and all damage. Pleasant to work with, on time and willing to do the little things. Highly recommend!
Very courteous and helpful young men. My wife was particularly pleased with their help. They unloaded the truck without a single incident or accident, always a good thing. Also gratified that the company is flexible to meet our changing schedule, with late notice! Again, Thank you
