How it works

  1. Today, a few minutes

    Find your truck

    Post the hours, stops and truck size you need. Licensed, FMCSA-checked carriers who serve your area see your job.

  2. Usually within hours

    Get bids

    Compare quotes from verified carriers, hourly or flat, and ask questions in chat before you choose the best option for your budget and schedule.

  3. When you choose

    Accept and pay into escrow

    You pay the bid plus the 10% service fee. The carrier is not paid yet.

  4. On the day

    Follow the job

    The driver updates the trip status from their phone, with photos at pickup and delivery.

  5. When it's done

    Choose and enjoy

    Confirm the job is done, or it auto-confirms 72 hours after delivery with no dispute.

During the job

The driver runs the job from a phone. You see every step.

Trip started, pickup photos, live location and a signed delivery: the same milestones appear on your load page as they happen. Demo data is illustrative.

  1. Start the trip when you head to pickup
  2. Share live location with the shipper
  3. Confirm pickup with photos
  4. Deliver with the recipient's name, photos and signature

Hourly or flat, the math is the same

Carriers bid by the hour or at a flat price. Whatever they bid, you pay it plus our service fee, held in escrow, and the carrier keeps 100% of the bid.

Frequently Asked Questions

How is the price set?

Carriers bid on your job, by the hour or at a flat price. You pay the bid you accept plus a 10% service fee, shown before you pay and held in escrow until the job is done.

How many hours should I book?

Add up drive time between stops, loading time at each one, and some margin for stairs and parking. If you're unsure, describe the job and ask carriers for their estimate in chat.

Will the driver help me load?

Say whether you need help and how much. For heavy items or a lot of them, ask for a helper so the bid includes a second person.

Can I follow the job while it is happening?

Yes. The driver updates the trip status from their phone, and you can see their location while the trip is in progress. Photos are taken at pickup and delivery.

How is this different from hiring movers?

Movers handle a full home with a crew and moving supplies. A truck with driver is lighter: a vehicle, a driver and optionally a helper, for short jobs.

When is the driver paid?

The carrier is paid after you confirm the job is done, or automatically 72 hours after delivery if you have not opened a dispute.
