Hiring now

Hard work, paid properly, home by six

Fourteen people, eight crews, and a rule that nobody is day labour. Everyone here is employed, trained and covered.

What the work is

It is physical, and the day ends

Most crews start at 7:00 am at the yard and are back by five or six. Summer is busy and you will feel it. Winter is steadier and we keep everyone on rather than cutting hours.

We are not interested in being the cheapest mover in San Diego, which means we do not have to be the worst payer either. Crews are employed, not subcontracted, and everybody is covered by workers compensation.

What you get

Six things that are actually written down

01

Paid weekly, tips same day

Hourly pay lands every Friday. Tips are split by the crew and handed over at the end of the job, not held back.

02

Two weeks of real training

Padding, wrapping, securement, dollies, stair technique and customer handling, paid, before your first job.

03

Health cover from day 60

Medical, dental and vision for full-time crew, with the company covering the employee premium.

04

Licence funded

We pay for Class B training and the DOT medical for anyone who wants to move up to driving.

05

Overtime, not unpaid hours

Over 8 in a day or 40 in a week is paid at time and a half, which is California law and also just correct.

06

Boots and gear provided

Work gloves, back support, hi-vis and a replacement boot allowance every year.
