I've used this site: http://movinghelp.emove.com/
whereby you can schedule help by the hour.

It's a place to find independent movers.  Unfortunately, my experience 
is that I did get burned by the movers not showing up on time.  Emove 
made it easy to refund my money and fortunately the job was much easier 
than I thought but I would talk to whoever you contract so that you get 
a feeling of confidence about their professionalism.
