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.

They were great guys on time very friendly very careful of my things I would recommend them they were honest. They all had great attitudes . Great Job guys thank you .
These men were a few minutes late but did an excellent job. They came prepared, handled our furniture and belongings carefully and loaded the u haul expertly. I tend to micromanage, and was under a bit of stress from packing up my home, and they were very gracious. I would highly recommend them.
Moe and his team were great. They confirmed twice, arrived on time, and completed the job in little over an hour. I recommend highly and would use again.
Beryl Bell and the crew were professional and quick. They expertly navigated through narrow hallways and staircases to safely get the furniture set up in my new home. I strongly recommend Bell Boys for any moving job.
Bell Boys work as a team to get the job done quickly and efficiently. They arrived on time and did a great job for us. I would recommend that you use them.
This was the second time I used Bell Boys and they were awesome again! They had my move wrapped up ahead of schedule, they tackled some tricky items and absolutely ZERO items were damaged or broken. Great job, guys!
The men were on time. They were very polite. They work hard and also helped in setting up the furniture. They wrapped my furniture in plastic to ensure no damage, they were well prepared. Thank you guys. You are a life saver. God bless you. I highly recommend them and would use them again.
The movers were on time and started working immediately. They did not stop until all materials were moved. I would highly recommend Bell Boys Moving North for your next move.
John and Brandon showed up promptly at the start of and didn’t stop moving from the moment they started. Our dining room table was too big too fit through the entryway to our apartment complex and, after asking us, figured out how to take it apart and put it back together perfectly once it was inside. They made our moving day so much smoother than we hoped it would be. Thanks!
They did a wonderful job, which was not easy considering how hot the day was and how steep the staircase to was up to our new apartment. They kept going and got the job done!
Beryl and his team were extremely helpful and went out of their way to go the extra mile in helping me unload my POD. In the moving process I lost the key to my POD and they brought a bolt cutter at the last minute to help me. They were punctual, friendly and respectful and I’d highly recommend them. I would definitely use them again.
The supervisor was very knowledgeable and packed much more in to the truck than I expected. He tried to keep the younger workers motivated. Had 4 workers for 3 hrs and filled a 28ft truck. One nick in a doorway by younger workers while moving furniture. Overall I was quite satisfied.
