Self-Employed Removal Operator / Owner-Driver – Greater Manchester

Movesmith is building a network of professional, independent removal operators for customer moves across Greater Manchester.

This is not an employed driving position and there are no guaranteed hours or jobs. You remain self-employed, choose which available jobs to accept and see the fixed operator payout and full job details before committing. There are no lead fees, listing fees or monthly subscription fees.

Gross operator payouts

The advertised £344–£984 per booked day is an estimated gross operator-business payout based on completing one booked 1–3-bedroom move.

Current examples include:

1-bedroom flat from £344.40 gross operator payout

2-bedroom flat from £574

2-bedroom house from £615

3-bedroom house from £902

Multi-floor 3-bedroom house from £984

Smaller single-item jobs can pay from £61.50 and larger moves may pay more. These figures are gross payouts before your own fuel, vehicle, crew, insurance, tax and other business costs. Job availability and earnings are not guaranteed. Applicable road charges identified on a booking are passed through to the operator separately in full.
