Make Money With Your Pickup Truck: Bungii, GoShare, Curri and Frayt
DriveForMoney.com is reader-supported. We earn money from ads, and some links in this article may be affiliate links: if you apply or buy through them, we may earn a commission at no cost to you. How we make money
Your truck can earn $24–$60 an hour hauling furniture, supplies and big items. Here's how the top apps compare.
Delivery apps for big items pay much more than food delivery, because you supply the truck and the muscle.
| App | Vehicle | Pay | Know this |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bungii | Pickup (1999+), cargo van or Sprinter (2001+) | Up to $45/hr advertised | Must lift 125 lbs; fewer than 15% of applicants approved |
| GoShare / Lugg / Dolly | Pickup, van or box truck | About $30–$60/hr | Moving jobs; bring blankets and straps |
| Curri | Car to box truck | Not published | Construction and industrial supplies, weekdays |
| Frayt | Car to box truck | $20–$30/hr average (per Frayt) | $40 application fee |
Gear you'll need
- At least 4 ratchet straps and 2 moving blankets
- A hand truck or furniture dolly
- Work gloves and a tarp for rain
Watch the real costs
Pickups often get 15 to 20 mpg, and hauling adds wear. Use the calculator with your truck's real mileage before deciding which jobs are worth it.
What the jobs are like
- Store pickups: a couch from a furniture store, a washer from a home-improvement store.
- Marketplace pickups: items bought from online marketplaces.
- Small moves: a few rooms, often with a helper.
- Business supplies: pipe, lumber, fixtures or electrical parts to job sites (Curri's specialty).
Protect yourself and your truck
- Check that your insurance covers commercial use, and ask about cargo coverage.
- Photograph items before loading and after delivery.
- Lift with a partner for anything over about 75 pounds.
- Don't overload: stay within your truck's payload rating.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a commercial license? Not for a pickup or cargo van under 10,001 lbs. Heavier box trucks can require a DOT number and medical card, and very large trucks need a CDL.
Can I bring a helper? Some apps pair you with a second driver or pay extra for two-person jobs.
Bottom line
If you already own a truck and don't mind lifting, big-item apps are the best-paying gig work available. Sign up for two or three to keep the job flow steady.
