Labor-Only Moving in Clackamas, OR — Moving Fellows

With a “Labor-Only” move, you supply the vehicle (rental truck, trailer, container, etc.) and/or packing materials. We supply the labor, tools, and know-how. This setup gives you:

• Cost savings — since you don’t pay for a truck, fuel, or full-service overhead. Flexibility & control — you pick the truck size, your schedule, and moving route; we just help with heavy lifting, loading, unloading.
• Reduced risk of injury or damage — moving heavy furniture alone or with untrained helpers is risky. Our trained crew uses proper lifting techniques and professional equipment to protect your back and belongings.

Basically: you manage what you want. We handle what you don’t want.

Flexible Scheduling — Because Life Isn’t Always Predictable

Whether you need early-morning help, weekend support, or even last-minute loading/unloading, we try to work around your schedule. That flexibility is one of the biggest advantages of labor-only moving.

Respect for Your Belongings and Your Home

We treat your furniture and valuables as if they were our own. We wrap, pad, protect floors, use proper techniques — all to prevent damage. Our goal: no broken lamps, no scuffed walls, no regrets.

🛠 Additional Help & Support (on request)

How It Works — Easy 3-Step Process

1. You rent the truck or container — or arrange transport.
2. You call Moving Fellows and tell us what you need. We discuss number of movers, access challenges (stairs, elevators, narrow doorways), and schedule.
3. We show up with tools, do the heavy lifting, and place items where you want them. You handle the driving/transport, we handle the muscle.

Simple. Efficient. Affordable.

Who Usually Uses Labor-Only Moving Services

• People renting a truck (e.g. U-Haul, Budget, Penske) but don’t want to handle heavy lifting themselves.
• Students or young professionals moving apartments/condos
• Families moving locally within Clackamas, or downsizing to a smaller home
• People moving bulky furniture, appliances, or heavy items
• Homeowners rearranging furniture, shifting rooms, remodeling, or moving items within the same house
• Businesses relocating offices or rearranging furniture
• Anyone who wants the flexibility of controlling the move — but not the physical strain

Why Labor-Only Is Often Smarter Than Full-Service — Especially in Clackamas

Many folks automatically assume they need a full-service move: truck + packing + labor. That’s not always true. Labor-only moving gives you:

• Big savings. You avoid paying for truck rental, fuel, mileage, and extra logistics. You pay only for the hours you need help.
• Want to pick up a truck at noon, load in the afternoon, unload the next day? No problem.
• You choose how you pack, which truck you rent, your route, and your timing — we just provide the strength.
• Heavy lifting is risky. With pro movers, you reduce the chance of injury or furniture damage.

For many Clackamas residents — renters, college students, apartment dwellers, small families — labor-only moving makes sense.

Common Mistakes People Make (and How Moving Fellows Helps Avoid Them)

Mistake: Doing it solo to “save money,” then getting injured or damaging furniture.

• With Moving Fellows, you get trained movers with proper equipment. Much safer than DIY with no tools.

Mistake: Underestimating how long loading/unloading will take.

• We help plan. We know stairs, narrow doorways, and all that add time — we give honest time estimates.

Mistake: Forgetting floor protection, padding, or proper wrapping — then ending with scuffed floors or dented furniture.

• We bring floor protection boards, moving pads, blankets, and tie-down straps. We treat your home like it’s ours.

Mistake: Booking last minute during busy season — then paying premium rates or waiting too long.

• We offer flexible scheduling. But if you call ahead, you get better timing and predictable pricing.

How to Get a Quote or Book Moving Fellows

1. Call or message us with:
   • Your current address and destination (if any)
   • What items you want moved (appliances, furniture, boxes, etc.)
   • Any stairs, elevators, narrow hallways, or access challenges
   • Whether you need loading, unloading, or both
2. We give you an honest, upfront hourly quote and explain what’s covered (labor, equipment, protection).
3. You rent your truck or container (if needed), schedule the time, and we’ll be there ready to work.

You’ll get strong backs, moving supplies, and people who treat your stuff with respect.
