Labor-only moving services are commonly used by people who need help with the physical labor of moving but want to manage the rest themselves. “Unlike a full-service moving company, which handles the move from beginning to end, a labor-only service (or day laborer) just assists with heavy lifting [of the designated items and] loading … of the moving truck,” explains Moving.com. Some movers can also assist with packing, unpacking, and furniture disassembly and reassembly. All you have to do is provide the truck or pod.
