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, itâs considerably more affordable.

The guys were great they treated my move like it was their own I got a very awesome awesome job I would recommend them to anyone and possibly me in the future if I decide to move again thank you for your help
Bobby and William did a fantastic job. They arrived 5 minutes late, but Bobby texted me to let me know ahead of time. Both worked hard, and were experts at packing efficiently to reduce the number of trips. I would not hesitate to ask for them again, and would recommend them to others. Kerry Dienhart Zionsville, IN
Very, very happy with 317movers! They arrived on time, were incredibly courteous, took time to set up a system for us to let them know where to place the items as they offloaded the truck and were very careful with all of our things! And they were so efficient ... in and out in no time. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Highly recommend them!!!
Highly professional movers. They did amazing job unloading our furniture and art. We had some schedule conflicts but Tom managed to resolve them so it worked for us perfectly. They arrived on time and brought all the necessary equipment. They worked very hard, fast and were extremely careful. I would definitely use this service again. Victoria, Whitestown IN
Every member of the team was amazing! I have nothing but nice things to say about them. They were punctual (even got here early), incredibly respectful, careful with all of our belongings, and over all seemed eager to get us moved. We had a heavy safe to carry & they knocked it out with ease. We could not have done this move without them!! Thank you, Moving You Forward!
I selected two movers for two hours. The guys were fantastic! They unhooked my trailer and moved extremely quickly. I have no idea how they did it with just two guys. Very friendly and highly recommend this company.
Our crew did a great job, they were knowledgeable and hard-working. We had several last-minute changes with the move and they handled those changes very well. I highly recommend this crew!
They were on time, very cordial. They worked the whole time. I never saw any of them standing around with nothing to do. The truck was packed well. The leader had obviously performed many moves before. They worked as a team. Overall, very pleased with their service and worth every cent. I swear I am not moving again but if I have too, I would use this service again.
The movers arrived on time and prepared for the job. They worked hard and quickly and took good care of my furniture and containers. I would recommend them gladly and would use them again. Thanks for your help. It is appreciated. Ramona
3 workers arrived on time. Did an excellent job. We’re efficient and worked quickly. We were surprised to learn they were deaf but use of written notes and hand signals as to where furniture should be placed worked well. We’re friendl and careful with our items and special antique cabinets. Would not hesitate to use them again
They were early, brought their own dolly, and worked incredibly hard for my family so that we could get moved out safely and quickly. All of my property was treated with respect and if I wasn't moving hours away I would love to use them again when we move in a few months
5 stars are not enough! Jake and Noah did an absolutely fantastic job. They took great care with all our items. They were very personable and we had a super time chatting with them while they were here. I would definitely recommend these fine gentlemen to anyone who is looking for help moving furniture.

All Dayton movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
Need to move in a hurry or don’t have time to pack? HireAHelper makes it easy to add professional packing as an add-on to your move. When available, you can get packing help for just several rooms or your whole home.
