Labor-only movers in Memphis: loading, unloading, and heavy lifting
Sometimes you have the truck handled — a rental, a moving container, a friend with a trailer — and what you actually need is a few strong, experienced people to load it right or carry everything in. That is labor-only moving: the muscle without the truck. You supply the vehicle or container, and we supply trained, background-checked movers to load it, unload it, or both.
It is a popular, budget-friendly option for people driving their own move, unloading a container in the driveway, or rearranging heavy furniture inside the house. We load rental trucks and containers so the space is packed tight and your belongings ride safely, we unload and carry everything to the right room, and we handle in-home jobs like moving furniture between floors or clearing a room for new flooring. It is billed by the hour with a three-hour minimum, then in 15-minute increments, with a clear estimate up front. The per-truck service fee still applies — our crews travel in company trucks with the equipment the job needs, even when you supply the vehicle that carries your belongings.

What labor-only covers
The heavy lifting, without the truck — however much of it you need.
- Loading rental trucks and containers U-Haul, Penske, Budget, PODS, U-Box, and the rest — we load them carefully and pack the space tight, so your belongings ride safely and you get the most out of every foot.
- Unloading when you arrive Drive your own truck or container in and have us meet you to carry everything inside and set it where it belongs. No heavy lifting at the end of a long drive.
- In-home moving and heavy lifting Rearranging furniture, moving heavy pieces between rooms or floors, or clearing a room for new flooring or paint — we handle the in-home jobs too.
- Careful, space-smart stacking Loading a truck well is a skill. We stack and secure the load so nothing shifts in transit and you are not paying for a second trip.
- Padding and wrap on request Want your furniture protected? We can pad and shrink-wrap the pieces that need it before they go on your truck or into your container.
- By the hour, with a clear estimate You pay for the movers and the time, with a straightforward estimate up front.

Learn MoreFrequently asked questions
What is labor-only moving?
It is the muscle without the truck. You provide the moving truck, trailer, container, or storage unit, and we provide trained movers to load it, unload it, or both. It is popular with people who want to drive themselves but skip the heavy lifting.
Do you load rental trucks and moving containers?
Yes — U-Haul, Penske, Budget, PODS, U-Box, and the rest. We load them carefully and pack the space tight, so your belongings ride safely and you get the most out of every foot.
Can you just unload at my new place?
Absolutely. Plenty of customers drive their own truck or container in and have us meet them to carry everything inside and set it where it belongs.
How is labor-only priced?
At $70 per mover, per hour, with a 3-hour minimum. After the minimum, time is billed in 15-minute increments, plus a $100 service fee per truck. We give you an estimate up front once we know the size of the job.
Is there a minimum?
Yes — labor-only has the same 3-hour minimum as a local move. After that, billing continues in 15-minute increments.
Does the truck service fee still apply if I supply the vehicle?
Yes. The $100 service fee per truck still applies on labor-only jobs even when you supply the rental truck, trailer, or container. Our crews travel in company trucks with the dollies, pads, and equipment the job needs.
Can you move things around inside my house?
Yes. We handle in-home moves too — rearranging furniture, moving heavy pieces between rooms or floors, or clearing a room for new flooring or paint.
