Need Help Moving? Hire It!

Very few people enjoy the process of moving. There are so many steps and things to think about that it can be an extremely overwhelming and exhausting activity. It becomes even worse if you don't have anyone who can help you. Sometimes, you might need help with packing and sometimes you might just need help with the actual transporting of your household from one location to another on moving day. No matter what you need help with, if you can't find anyone to assist, it turns a tedious task into a nightmare.

One way to get help is to simply hire movers to get your belongings from your old house to your new one. This is probably the most expensive option, but you can actually hire movers to perform every aspect of a move from packing to transporting to unloading to unpacking. All you have to do is give the movers some direction and they'll take it from there.

Of course, not everyone has the finances available to hire a moving company to handle the move from beginning to end. In this case, you can actually hire help for one specific task. There are companies available that will send employees to your house to help you pack. Or, they can send someone to your home on moving day to do the heavy lifting. You will probably have to pay for a minimum number of hours, which is usually two, but you don't have to pay the full cost of a moving company.

If you have rented a moving truck, you might try asking your rental company if they have lists of local movers that can come to your house and perform a job or two. It is possible you will even get a discount on moving services by going through your rental company. Again, they may just partner with full moving companies, but they also might know some companies that provide workers on an hourly basis.

Temporary agencies are another good place to try if you're looking for help just for a few hours. These companies usually specialize in finding help for offices, but it is possible they have a category for general laborers as well. Simply call the temp agency up and they will give you a quote for an hourly rate for each person who comes to your house.

Finally, day laborers are an excellent source of help for moving tasks. You can usually find day laborers hanging out near large home improvement stores, just waiting for an opportunity. You will need to negotiate these workers' pay directly with them.
