Let’s face it – moving is a pain. But here’s the thing: you don’t always need to hire a full-service moving company with all those trucks and fancy equipment. If you’re the DIY type who likes to save some cash without throwing out your back, our labor-only moving services might be just what you’re looking for.
What is Labor-Only Moving?
Labor-only moving is exactly what it sounds like: professional movers who provide the muscle without the truck. At All-Star Moving, our labor-only service sends a professional crew to load or unload your vehicle, rental truck, or portable storage container. This option has become increasingly popular among our “do-it-yourself” customers and those planning long-distance moves.
With thousands of successful labor-only moves under our belt at All-Star Moving, we’ve perfected the art of efficient loading and unloading while working with your equipment.
Why Choose Labor-Only Moving?
Cost Efficiency
By renting your own truck or container and hiring labor separately, you can significantly reduce your moving costs while still getting professional help with the heavy lifting.
Flexibility
Labor-only services give you control over your moving timeline. Load your container at your convenience, take your time with transportation, and schedule unloading when you’re ready.
Professional Expertise
Even the strongest DIY movers benefit from professional loading techniques. Our crews know how to properly stack and secure items to prevent damage during transit, especially important for long-distance moves.
What You Need to Know About Labor-Only Services
When hiring our labor-only moving services, there are a few important considerations to keep in mind:
- Furniture Protection: As the customer, you’ll need to provide furniture pads or blankets to protect your belongings during the move.
- Securing Your Load: You’re responsible for providing tie-downs or strapping to secure items in your truck or container.
- Moving Equipment: Hand trucks, furniture dollies, and other specialty equipment should be provided by you or rented from your truck rental company.
The All-Star Advantage
While we ask customers to provide certain equipment for labor-only moves, All-Star Moving goes above and beyond by providing complimentary shrink wrap and tool kits for all moves—including labor-only services—at no extra cost! These essential supplies help ensure your belongings are protected and secure during transit.
Is Labor-Only Moving Right for You?
Labor-only moving services are ideal if:
- You’re comfortable driving a rental truck
- You’re moving long-distance and want to save on costs
- You already have a portable storage container
- You want professional help with just the loading or unloading portion of your move
Whether you need help loading a POD before a cross-country move or unloading a rental truck at your new home, our professional crews have the experience and expertise to make your DIY move smoother and safer.
