Labor-Only Loading and Unloading

You rent the truck, trailer or moving container. A crew supplies the labor to load it, unload it, or both.

Labor-only fits the person doing a do-it-yourself move — a rented truck, a PODS or U-Box container, a trailer — who has the logistics handled and just needs muscle for the heavy lifting. The crew loads or unloads on a schedule, but does not drive the truck and is not responsible for it once it is on the road. It is priced by labor hours, not by mileage or fuel, which is usually what makes it less expensive than a full-service move.

What it does not do is protect you from a truck that turns out too small or a schedule that assumed the wrong thing. If your inventory does not fit the truck you rented, that is discovered on move day and it is your problem to solve, not the crew's. The same rule applies here as anywhere else: give an accurate account of what is moving so the labor estimate is realistic, and size your rental truck against that same inventory before booking either one.
