Do labor-only movers drive the truck?

No. Labor-only movers do not drive your truck or transport your belongings. They assist with physical tasks like packing and loading.

Is labor-only moving help cheaper than full-service movers?

Yes. Labor-only help is typically more affordable because you're not paying for transportation, fuel, or mileage — just the labor itself.

Can I hire labor-only movers for same-day help?

In many cities, same-day labor-only help is available depending on mover availability. Submit your request to check options near you.

If you’re planning a move and already have a truck or container lined up, you might be wondering: Do I really need full-service movers? The answer might surprise you. Labor-only movers — professionals who help with packing, loading, and unloading — can be one of the most flexible, affordable, and stress-reducing options out there.

What Are Labor-Only Movers?

They’re skilled helpers who show up ready to lift, carry, and organize. You provide the truck, trailer, or container (like PODS or Pack-Rat), and they handle the heavy lifting. No driving. No hidden fees. Just focused help where you need it most.

Why People Love This Option:

You stay in control. You choose the truck, the timing, and the route.
It’s budget-friendly. You’re not paying for mileage or fuel — just the labor.
It’s safer. No need to lift furniture alone or rely on friends who mean well but aren’t trained.
It’s flexible. Whether you’re downsizing, moving into storage, or relocating across town, labor-only help adapts to your plan.

Real-Life Example:

In cities like Austin, Tampa and Chicago, people are booking labor-only movers to help with everything from rental truck loading help to garage cleanouts. It’s fast, reliable, and surprisingly personal.
