What Is Labor-Only?
When most people think of a moving company, they picture a full-service crew that loads, drives, and unloads everything. For in-town moves, this is known as local full-service.
Labor-only moving works differently. You handle the transportation (like a rental truck or PODS container) and we connect you with professional moving contractors to help load or unload your furniture and boxes.
While labor-only requires a bit more work on your end to coordinate all the details, itâs considerably more affordable.

Movers were on time, friendly, efficient and very great to work with. My truck was packed perfectly for a long trip and everything stayed in place. Would highly recommend.
We had a last minute move and college move out. The team was helpful, flexible and very patient. They had to move very heavy furniture down three flights of stairs and up three flights of stairs to the parking spot. They were very efficient and did an amazing job from start to finish. Would highly recommend them.
Absolutely great service. They were on time, professional, and respectful. Very nice to work with and talk to. They got the job done expeditiously and didn’t break anything. Would absolutely hire again!!!
The two gentlemen who provided service for our move were EXCELLENT!! They were both very polite, but also so efficient and knowledgeable about how to load & unload the truck. They both deserve a raise and/or a bonus!! I wouldn’t hesitate to schedule their expertise again!
The team arrived ahead of time and had me walk them through the house and show them what was going on the truck. Once they started they were fast and efficient in getting the truck loaded. Both were very polite and friendly and I would hire them again.
They were on time. They came prepared for the job. Worked hard continuously loading & unloading boxes. Very careful around the corners. I will try to get them again when I need to unload. Awesome job!
Top Flight Movers sent Eric and Carrington to help us with our move. They were on time, ready to work, and followed all the directions for what we asked them to do. They were equipped with tools to help disassemble furniture and straps to move some furniture that was unwieldy. We would recommend them, and intend to hire them again.
The crew from Moving Made Smooth was absolutely incredible. I thought we were going to need three PODs and they managed to fit us into two PODs with room to spare saving us thousands. Fast, efficient, and professional. We highly recommend them!
They were great and did an awesome job. Very courteous and kind. Not a bad word out of there mouth and addressed very politely. What a great job they did. Will use them again
Shawn and Robby did an awesome job again for us! They should be on Hire-a-Helpers Elite list! Both times we used them thhe were on time and prepared for the job! They work hard and. non-stop. Don't just throw stuff on the truck...they discuss the best way to pack our items so that they are safe and secure. I would definitely use them again.
Yale and Graham did a fantastic job! They were promptly on time, came equipped, very friendly, worked very hard and efficiently together! Very professional! I would highly recommend Yale and Graham as a team and Moving Made Smooth, Inc!
Top Flight Movers were a great help. We had already finished getting everything into the moving truck and were flexible in meeting us at the end destination to help unload the moving truck into the new space. I was grateful for their help and would recommend them. If needed, I would use their service again.
Real Advice from Omaha Movers
"The best place to rent a truck in Omaha will be the Penske on J street. The have trucks available rain or shine. They also offer excellent customer service. If you're wanting to get across town in hurry, use the major interstates. I-80 east and west, 480 north and south, as well as 680. Dodge street is another great way to get across town as long as you use the express lanes. This road will take you from downtown all the way to west omaha."

All Omaha movers listed on HireAHelper are required to provide standard repair coverage, which reimburses $0.60 per pound for damaged items. Some states may have different rules, and full-value protection is only required by the federal government for moves that cross state lines.
One of the advantages of booking with HireAHelper is that every move includes our $1,000 Service Guarantee. Plus, you can upgrade your protection by adding SmartProtectionâ˘âan optional coverage for labor-only moves that offers up to $10,000 in damage coverage, with multiple tiers to choose from.
Yes, professional movers will typically disassemble and reassemble furniture as part of the moving process. However, there are certain items that movers may not be able to disassemble. Learn more about how furniture disassembly and reassembly works when you hire movers.
One set of stairs is always included in your moverâs rate when you book through HireAHelper, but additional sets of stairs may cost more. The best way to get an accurate estimate is to get a quote and indicate the number of sets of stairs that you haveâmake sure to include stairs leading to a basement if you will have any items that need to be moved into or out of it. Read more about when movers charge extra for stairs.
You should start packing at least three to four weeks before your move, but the sooner the better. If you need to downsize or organize, we recommend starting that process 6-8 weeks before your move when at all possible.
