What Is Labor-Only Moving?

Labor-only moving means you provide the transportation or storage equipment and MoveSmart provides the moving labor. It is a useful option when the truck, trailer, or container is already arranged.

When labor-only can fit

Customers commonly request labor for loading a rental truck, unloading at a new home, loading or unloading a portable container, moving furniture within a property, or handling the physical work around a storage stop.

What to tell the crew

Share the equipment you are using, addresses or locations, stairs, elevators, parking, heavy pieces, approximate number of hours, and how many movers you think you need. Those details help the team understand the request.

When full-service may fit better

If you also need a truck and transportation, a full-service residential move may be the better starting point. Learn more about labor-only moving or request a quote for your specific job.
