Labor-Only Loading and Unloading

The DIY Middle Ground

Not everyone needs a full-service move. Maybe you're trying to save money by renting a U-Haul but realize that loading a truck is harder than it looks. Maybe you have a PODS container arriving and need help emptying it quickly. Or maybe you just need to get that massive couch up to your third-floor walk-up in North Beach. That's where labor-only service makes sense.

Moving Forward's labor-only option gives you access to experienced movers without paying for a full moving service. Our crew knows how to load a truck efficiently so everything fits and nothing shifts during transport. We know how to navigate tight San Francisco hallways and stairwells without damaging walls or your furniture. We've done this thousands of times, so we're fast and we're careful.

Real Moving Experience, Flexible Service

What separates us from random guys on Craigslist is experience and reliability. Luis Aviles has been running Moving Forward since 2012, and our crew members are trained professionals, not day laborers. We show up on time, work efficiently, and treat your stuff with respect. We're insured, so you have protection if something goes wrong.

Labor-only service is popular with folks moving between San Francisco and other Bay Area cities who want to drive themselves but need help on both ends. If you're doing a California in-state move, we can load you in San Francisco and you can hire local labor to unload at your destination. Some clients also combine labor-only with our packing services to get professional packing but handle the actual transport themselves.
