Moving Companies pay good money. No matter if it is household, military, or office moving the wages for movers will be higher than a driver pulling a dry van.
You can tell these guys make long dollars just by the huge sleepers you will see on the owner operator trucks. This video, gives you an idea of work in the household if you have never moved someone. Takes a while to get to the actual moving though.
I did household for about a year as a driver helper for a moving company before I got my CDL license years later.
I think a very good path for someone too young to drive but wants to become an owner operator and is not lazy should think about becoming a driver helper until old enough to get drivers license.
The reason is you can learn about the paperwork, stay in shape and make good money as a company man then excellent money as an owner operator later and be well educated about the process and paperwork, and earning potential of freight of different types and to varies locations.
Also, a person who is waiting for something to get off of their record before a company will hire them as a driver might want to consider being a driver helper simply because you can already be working at a trucking company and maybe they will see first hand that you are someone dependable and worth giving a chance as a driver as soon as your record will permit them to hire you.
