You’ve got extra cash parked in your driveway. Don’t believe us? Look outside. Do you have a pickup truck parked there? Put it to work! You can make money with your pickup.
Every day, businesses and individuals in your community are looking for a truck to hire. There’s the industrial parts company needing help with a last-minute hotshot job. Or, your elderly neighbor needing someone to deliver their new mattress from Costco.
Finding Local Pickup Truck Jobs
There are lots of opportunities for a pickup truck owner to earn money delivering and transporting items with your truck, you just need to know how to find them.
Some local truck owners advertise their delivery services on Yelp or Craigslist. These platforms are crowded with local entrepreneurs looking to create a delivery business or do some side projects for extra money. It can be a good place to start, but it’s competitive.
Customers are also wary of hiring contractors from these platforms, because of scammers and fraudsters that have abused these listings in the past.

There is a better, easier way to find projects for your pickup truck. GoShare connects local truck owners with businesses and individuals in their communities.
