There's a lot of different angles for this. Van lines, independents, local, regional, long distance etc. The money can be big but getting it is tricky. Regulations are also onerous relative to freight. Also a lot more people problems. Refine your question and you'll get a much tighter answer.

 

when a peice or box gets damaged we try to fix it as best as possible, or repack the box, if the piece is a total loss, well we let the claims dept, handle that.as an o/o that would come out of your pocket,witht the option to contest it. the guy who carry a crew couod be agencies crews/driver or a an o/o with his own set crew, i cant answer the last one to much becasue im a part time class B driver and part time helper/packer/lumper. the agencys and UVL always have something moving.

 

It's a dirty business. I lasted about a day and a half at Graebel before I knew it wasn't up my alley. Too much work and too much nonsense bedbuggin

 

Moving is a tough business . I have been in the local and state wide moving business for 18 yrs and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone . No fork lifts or pallet jacks , all by hand truck or dolly and hand . Turn over rate in moving is probably higher than trucking by itself . There is a lot of money to be made but the toll it takes on your body over the years is not worth it in my opinion . Im 18 yrs in and Im ready to sale my company and equipment and put my CDL X to use in other fields of trucking .
