Questions about working as a mover
How heavy is the work as a mover?
The work is heavy, because you lift and carry almost all day. You lift a wardrobe or washing machine together with a colleague.
Why is the end of the month so busy?
Many rental contracts end or start on the first of the month. On those days removal companies often look for extra people.
Do I need a driving licence?
No, you do not need a licence for packing and carrying. If you drive the removal van yourself, you need driving licence B.
Do I also work at the weekend?
Yes, that is possible, mostly with offices and schools. They often move on a Saturday, so that they can open again on Monday.
Can I work as a moving helper a few days a month?
Yes, because much removals work comes per day or per job. Tell us your free days, and we will see what fits.
Does it cost anything to apply with you?
No, applying and registering are free. You do not need a CV, because we ask on the phone about heavy work you did before.
Do you want to help with the next move?
