For a local move, check out a site like
Movers | HireAHelper.com. Here, you can find independent movers who charge hourly. I've used this site to find guys twice. Both times, I boxed all my own stuff and rented my own truck. Then the movers showed up, wrapped all the furniture and loaded the truck for me. They were very efficient, courteous and friendly. The site posts lots of reviews so you're sure you are getting good people. You might need more help than just loading. You choose how much help you need. You can find someone who does it all, or just parts. Moving this way has saved me TONS over quotes from moving companies.
