Moving Help\u00ae<\/a> verifies prospective Moving Helpers through an application process that includes identity verification, a manual application review, and a background check on the account owner. Applicants also must meet Marketplace qualifications before their business profile can be approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a closer look at who Moving Helpers are, how the verification process works, and what requirements may apply to the services they offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who Are Moving Helpers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moving Helpers are independent, labor-only Service Providers who advertise labor-only moving services<\/a> on the Moving Help Marketplace. Depending on the Service Provider, these services may include loading and unloading, packing and unpacking, cleaning, piano moving, gun safe moving, heavy furniture, and U-Box\u00ae storage container services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving Helpers are not employees or contractors of U-Haul. They operate their own businesses and set their own rates, schedules, and coverage zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How Does Moving Help Verify Moving Helpers?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Moving Helper Application<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Prospective Service Providers begin by signing up and applying at MovingHelper.com<\/a>. The initial application requests basic information, including the applicant\u2019s name, email address, and phone number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Applicants then receive instructions for completing the remaining steps, including submitting information for identity verification, completing training, and creating a business profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Identity Verification<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Identity verification helps confirm information submitted during the application. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and have a government-issued ID. Prospective Service Providers will receive instructions on submitting photos for identity verification along with their ID.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Application Review<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving Help Specialists manually review each application and business profile. If the application passes, the Moving Help Specialists will perform a background check.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Background Check<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving Help performs a background check on the account owner, also known as the business or profile owner, before the business can appear on the Marketplace. This does not necessarily mean every individual crew member has received a background check through Moving Help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once approved, the Service Provider\u2019s profile can appear on the Marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

New Service Providers complete Moving Helper training during the application process. They also can schedule a one-on-one call with a Provider Success Manager to review tips, best practices, policies, and procedures. Additional training, coaching, and profile optimization are available through the Level Up Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Requirements<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Insurance<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving Helpers aren\u2019t required to carry insurance or be bonded. Some Service Providers choose to obtain insurance or bonding independently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving Help does offer an optional and cost-effective coverage option called Safeload<\/a>. You can pay as low as $4 for $500 worth of Safeload coverage, and you can pay as much as $22 for $5,000.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Equipment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving Helpers aren\u2019t required to bring moving supplies or equipment, but most bring their own equipment. Customers should review the business profile and communicate directly with their selected Service Provider about what is needed for the job. Some services have specific equipment requirements<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specialty Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Service Providers decide which services they want to offer. Specialty services may include piano moving, gun safe moving, and other heavy-item assistance. Service Providers offering specialty services must have the appropriate equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

U-Box Storage Containers Services<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Moving Helpers may offer U-Box container moving services. Helpers can offer one, two, or all three of the following U-Box container services:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
