Buddytruk Review

What is Buddytruk?

Buddytruk is a peer-to-peer, on-demand moving and hauling platform that lets people with trucks or minivans apply to become a mover.

The iOS app lets users take a picture of the furniture item they wish to move, and the image is sent to all hired drivers in that area. The driver that accepts will arrive at the user’s location to pack the item and move it to the desired location.

How does Buddytruk work?

You know those situations that come up from time to time in ordinary life where your friend calls and asks you to come to help them haul a couch or some other heavy item they bought on Craigslist? Well, Buddytruk is like that, only you’ll get paid for your trouble.

With this job, you’ll be working on smaller, more informal moves. The website makes it sound like Buddytruk movers generally work alone, and the clients are expected to help out with the lifting, although that might not always be the case. The booking is set up (often on short notice) through a portable app, and the pay is $40 per hour.

Must be 21 years of age, able to pass a background check, and lift 50 pounds or more. Drivers must also have auto insurance and a truck or van.
