The moving industry has finally made its debut on the reality TV circuit. It was only a matter of time before we saw a show about the trials and tribulations of working at a moving company. Death Wish Movers made its prime-time debut on March 16th on the Travel Channel.
The show features Greg Keane and his crew as they “accomplish moves no other mover can” in Boston. In a city with narrow streets, row houses, unpredictable weather, and plenty of historical architecture, the team is up for any type of challenge.
In the season opener, we see a piano suspended from a crane over a Boston street, as the movers and the clients hold their breath. It should be interesting to see how the moving industry is portrayed in the upcoming episodes. Check out clips from the show and upcoming episodes here.
In case you missed it, Rick McClure, the president and CEO of United Van Lines, was featured on the CBS show Undercover Boss. The program features a CEO as he goes undercover in his own company to meet the people and participate in the daily activities that make the company tick.
McClure’s first job is a household move. He is given the task of both wrapping and moving furniture items, a job he struggles with a bit. The second job involves the logistics side of the business: stacking and moving boxes.
We also see him working with the highest rated packing team. The show finishes with revealing McClure’s true identity and meeting his four “co-workers,” the majority of whom are rewarded with additional training for advancement, education funds for their children, travel, and other monetary gifts.
