When moving a residence or office to another location, the company's job is to remove furniture and goods from the original location, transport them by truck, etc., and bring them to the new location. When contacted by a customer who is thinking of moving, the person in charge of the move will visit the customer in person, or provide an "estimate" of how much the move will cost over the phone or via the Internet. Moving companies are engaged in a fierce service battle to be chosen by customers who have received quotations from many companies. In addition to keeping costs low, one of their services is to provide cardboard boxes for packing and to do all the packing for the customer. When a job is accepted, the team in charge of transportation visits the customer on a set date and time to do the moving. Physical strength and perseverance are essential to carry the goods. It is also important to be careful and attentive so as not to damage or destroy buildings and household goods during the move. Furthermore, since the work cannot be done alone, teamwork is also necessary to work with a large number of colleagues.

No specific qualifications are needed to become a moving company. The most common way to become one is to join a moving company. A removal agency is part of the "transportation industry," which is the business of transporting people and goods to their destinations. A moving company is a transportation company that specializes in moving. What differentiates movers from other carriers is that they train their staff to perform the moving work quickly and carefully. The staff must learn how to hold wardrobes, wrap packages, carry glass safely, and avoid damaging buildings. Also, there are many different locations, environments, and conditions in which houses are moved. It is important to gain experience to be able to handle any situation. For this reason, it is said that it takes five years to become a full-fledged housewife.

A moving company transports goods in a truck driven by its employees. Although a passenger is not required to assist in the moving process, an "automobile license" is required to drive the truck. There are three types of automobile licenses: regular, medium, and heavy-duty, each of which determines the total weight of the vehicle that can be driven. Light-duty trucks of 1 to 2 tons, which are used for small-scale moving, can be driven with a standard driver's license. However, a medium-duty license is required to drive the most commonly used trucks in Japan, commonly known as "4-ton trucks," and a large-duty license allows one to drive large trucks, which cannot be driven with a medium-duty license. The age at which a driver can obtain the license and the number of years the driver has held the license are also fixed. A person must be at least 18 years old to obtain a regular license, while a person must be at least 20 years old and have held a regular license for at least two years to obtain a medium-sized license. For a large-sized vehicle license, you must be at least 21 years old and have held a regular license for at least three years. If you want to become a mover, a medium-size license will give you a wider range of work opportunities.

Due to the declining birthrate and population decrease, the moving company industry has always been short of labor. In addition, the government's "work style reform" has led to restrictions on long working hours, and during periods when moving activities are concentrated, it is often impossible to move on the days that customers wish to move. Competition for orders among moving companies is intensifying. Therefore, each moving company offers various services, such as sales of home appliances, electrical work, and recycling of unwanted home appliances. However, the most important thing for moving companies is to move goods quickly, safely, and reliably. Doing a careful job will lead to customer satisfaction, which in turn will lead to the next job opportunity.

The average annual income is 3.2 to 3.9 million yen. Depending on each company's regulations, one can expect to earn a higher income if they can obtain a heavy-duty license and drive a heavy-duty truck.

Since many customers move on Sundays and holidays, taking a day off is generally a weekday. The way to take a day off varies from company to company, but it is sometimes difficult to take a day off in March, when there are many moves.
