I suppose it does sound similar. But the movers also build all the loads on the ground and plan the loads because often we arrive in the middle of the night to an airfield that isnt exactly ideal and do a rapid engines running offload and onload of pallets and then b*gger off. The Loadie just wouldnt have time to plan the load. In these circumstances I try to help out the movers where I can and have the final check before we get airborne.
The Movers also deal with all the processing of freight, both outbound and inbound.
(by the way this wasnt supposed to be a new thread but a reply to the last on the Loadmasters forum. I started a new topic in error. I dont want to start another slanging match between the 2 trades. It was supposed to be just to answer CR2`s question)
