One cost-effective approach to hiring movers is to consider labor-only moving services. 

This alternative is frequently disregarded by conventional moving companies, but it can result in considerable cost savings. By renting a truck and hiring movers solely for heavy lifting, you can achieve a high standard of service while keeping your expenses at a minimum. Opting for this hybrid-labor-only choice is highly likely to result in savings of approximately 20% for local moves and 50% for long-distance moves. The considerable savings in long-distance moving can be attributed to the elimination of the need to compensate movers for their return trip, which accounts for almost 40% of the cost when hiring them to drive the truck. Instead, you can hire moving assistance and rent a truck or arrange for a POD delivery, and then engage a separate crew upon arrival at the destination.

Here are some top reasons why a labor-only moving service might be the right choice for you:

*Avoid Expensive Tariff Rates: Don't fall prey to the costly fees of regulated ODOT authority. With a labor-only service, you can sidestep these expensive tariff rates and enjoy significant savings.

*Flexible Payment Options: With a pay-as-you-go model, you only pay for the amount of time you require moving help. This is especially convenient for those who need assistance with heavy items like a couch or for rearranging furniture in their home or office. 

*Choose a moving service that provides the flexibility and affordability you need to make your move stress-free.
