RELIABILITY IS OUR #1 REQUIREMENT
We run a small fleet. When someone doesn't show up, real clients and real colleagues are affected. We require full commitment to your schedule every shift. A single unexcused absence or no-call-no-show is disqualifying. If reliability is a challenge for you, this is not the right fit — and that's okay. We'd rather be upfront about it now.
THE POINTMAN PROGRAM
After demonstrating consistent reliability, CRM discipline, and client professionalism, qualified movers are designated as Pointman — the crew lead on a job. Pointmen earn $4/hr above their base rate on every hour worked in that role. This is a performance-based designation tied to real responsibility. It is the primary path to higher earnings at Metropolis.
