Have Truck, Will Task—Consider The Moving Category!

Did you know how important trucks are to the Moving category? More than half of clients require a truck for Moving tasks, which means they hire Taskers who are opted in to the Truck-Assisted Help Moving or Full-Service Help Moving skills!

Out of the top 100 Movers on Taskrabbit, over half own a truck. Why are trucks important, you might ask? Not only are over half of clients looking to hire Taskers with trucks, but Taskers with trucks get more task invitations, complete more tasks, and (most importantly) earn more money.

If you currently have a car or truck, make sure you have included your up-to-date vehicle information on your profile. Clients are able to search depending on vehicle size, which means if you do have a larger vehicle, you could receive lots of new Moving task invitations!

If you own a truck, this is a huge opportunity for you to receive extra task invitations this year. If you don’t own a truck, consider renting one during our peak demand periods such as Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays to use during these busy moving periods (particularly around the end of the month and in the summer!). Keep in mind that any truck fees should must be incorporated into your hourly rate and not as an extra fee to comply with our policy

If you’ve changed vehicles since creating your Tasker profile, or perhaps gotten a new vehicle, make sure to update your vehicle information under Your Profile—Vehicles. That way, when clients are looking for a Tasker with a truck for their next Moving, Errands, or Trash & Furniture Removal task, you will have a better chance of being selected.

Remember, a truck could be your most valuable sidekick during moving season!
