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.

The Cost of Moving in Gaston, NC

In Gaston labor-only moving help typically costs between $426.60 and $568.71. 

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 $78.50 an hour.

Find a lower price for the same move? We’ll match it—because making your move easier and more affordable in Gaston 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.

They did a great job! I rented a pod, and was a little worried by stuff wouldn't fit, but they got it all. They were right on time and called me when they were thirty minutes away. I will definitely use them again.

The young men that came to pack our POD were on time, extremely polite and friendly, moved everything with care, laid down a runner to protect the floor and were just the very best team we have ever had. Thank you, thank you!

I felt very comfortable from the minute they arrived till the minute they left. They were professional and respectful of me and my things. They were polite and helped with problem solving on the loading end of things. AND they worked HARD. Not a minute of down time. Not one complaint. Very relieved to have had these two helpers at the loading end of the move.

Helpers were early, curtious, respectful, and took great care of the items we had while moving them from the truck into the house. Especially appreciated the effort taken moving the large, heavy items into the rooms that were a tight fit. They were able to perform geometric magic! Overall, the best moving experience I ever had in my lifetime.

Joe, kept in contact with me, he was very respectful as well. They worked hard and got the moving done on time. I will hire them again. During my move and when I need help with moving heavy items at my house. Hire a helper is a great service for those that are older and can not move heavy furniture. Thank you
