Household Movers

Experienced furniture movers may advance into various related jobs. Moving assistants may be promoted to van drivers. Movers may also become dispatchers, who work in the main office of the moving company and stay in constant contact with moving crews out on assignments. Another possibility is becoming an estimator. An estimator calculates the cost involved in a proposed move and quotes a price to the prospective customer.

Workers who have seniority and proven abilities may be able to move into supervisory positions where they coordinate the activities of drivers and help plan and direct other company operations. Some movers with enough knowledge, experience, and finances might go into business for themselves.
