## Definition

a person or a company that helps you move your furniture and boxes to a new home. They usually drive a large truck and do the heavy lifting for you.

For teachers: a person or business entity engaged in the professional transport of household or office goods between locations.

## Examples

- We hired a professional mover to help us with the heavy sofa.
- The movers arrived early in the morning to load the truck and ensure we could reach the new house by noon.
- While some families prefer to pack their own belongings to save money, hiring a full-service mover can significantly reduce the physical strain and logistical complexity of a long-distance relocation.

## Usage notes

- Often used in the plural when referring to the crew or the company as a whole.
