Deciding to make a big move to a new state or even across the country can be an exciting time in your life. It can also feel like one of the most stressful times in your life.
Simplify your big move by hiring movers to help with loading and unloading. With Moving Help, you can find help across the United States and Canada meaning that no matter where you might move to or from, you can reserve the help you need!
When you’re tackling a cross-country move, long-distance moving labor is your go-to for loading and unloading help. You handle the transportation, whether it’s a moving truck rental, portable storage container, or trailer rental.
Meanwhile, moving professionals at your starting point and destination handle the heavy lifting, like packing and unpacking, loading and unloading, and more.
Full-service long-distance movers can offer convenience but not without a hefty cost. Choosing labor-only movers for your long-distance move means you get professional help with the heavy lifting at a significantly lower cost without sacrificing control.
See how labor-only long-distance movers stack up against full-service movers:
| Labor-Only Long-Distance Movers | Full-Service Long-Distance Movers | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | $$ | $$$ |
| Control | Full control | Some control |
| Packing | Yes | Yes |
| Quote | Online | In person or over the phone |
| Transportation | You drive | Movers drive on their schedule |
| Price Model | Hourly | By weight or distance |
The Moving Help Marketplace makes it easy to find professional moving labor at Point A and Point B, ensuring you get the help you need with your long-distance move.

When you book moving labor on the Moving Help Marketplace, you’re getting a custom moving experience. No matter what type of help you need with your long-distance move, we have you covered.
We offer the following moving services:
Moving Help is an affordable alternative to notoriously expensive long-distance movers. The average cost for two helpers for two hours in Arizona is $226, and the average cost for two helpers for two hours in Texas is $212. That means moving labor at both ends of your move is less than $500 — a fraction of the cost of full-service movers for that distance.
With Service Providers across North America, you can reliably book moving labor at both ends of your long-distance move and save hundreds.
