How Much Does Moving Labor Cost?

Illustration representing moving labor costs and pricing estimates

Moving labor is one of the most affordable ways to move because you only pay for the help you need. Pricing is typically based on the number of movers and the number of hours required with no truck fees, fuel charges, or long-distance transportation costs.

On average, professional moving labor costs:

$90 – $150 per hour for two movers
$120 – $200 per hour for three movers
Minimums typically range from 2–3 hours

Your total cost depends on:

Size of your home or apartment
Number of heavy or bulky items
Stairs or long carry distance
Packing or in-home moving services
Your city and availability

Typical Moving Labor Price Examples

Studio / 1 Bedroom Apartment: $250 – $450
2 Bedroom Home: $400 – $750
3 Bedroom Home: $800+
Loading or Unloading a PODS® container: $300 – $600

Because you’re not paying for a truck, fuel, or long-distance mileage, hiring movers by the hour can save hundreds, sometimes thousands compared to full-service moving companies.

Do you offer same-day moving labor?

We provide moving labor services across major cities and states throughout the United States. Because availability depends on location and crew scheduling, the best way to confirm service is to submit your move details online. A moving specialist will promptly review your request and confirm availability in your area.

Is moving labor cheaper than full-service movers?

Yes, moving labor is typically more affordable than full-service moving because you are only paying for professional help with loading, unloading, or packing, not for transportation, fuel, or long-distance truck costs.

For labor-only services, customers usually provide their own rental truck or portable storage container.

How many movers do I need for my move?

The number of movers depends on the size of your home, the number of heavy items, and time constraints. Smaller apartments often require two movers, while larger homes may benefit from three or more for efficiency and speed. Our team can help you determine the right crew size during booking.
