Press Release: GoShare and Maven Expand Partnership
GoShare and Maven Gig are expanding the availability of short-term pickup truck leases in Los Angeles for freelance drivers and delivery professionals.
GoShare offers one of the highest wages in the industry but requires a pickup truck, cargo van, or box truck in order to accept most projects. Freelancers using passenger vehicles may apply to be a GoShare helper, with the opportunity to provide labor assistance on jobs that require multiple movers for loading and unloading. But, they are unable to accept freight and cargo moving jobs. Now freelancers in Los Angeles have a new option to help them be eligible for these higher paying delivery and moving jobs.
