Truck or van drivers have a variety of well-paid side hustle options that pay decently or let you set your own rates. The two best options for short-haul truck and van drivers?

GoShare

GoShare connects people who want to move (or ship heavy items) with truck and van drivers who can do the job. Pay is generous, ranging from $33 to more than $100 per hour. The highest pay goes to those with full-sized trucks, however. And, you must be able to lift between 50 and 75 pounds to qualify. Find more about GoShare here.

Frayt

Frayt also connects people who need things delivered with freelance truck and van drivers. Each gig shows the pick-up location and how far the delivery is from that point, as well as how much the freelancer will be paid for the delivery. Drivers are not expected to carry these loads long distances, but need to be able to lift 50 pounds or more. Learn more about Frayt here.

Bungii

Bungii works like the others, with one significant difference. You need to be able to lift and carry 125 pounds. This is key because the site seems to specialize in delivering pallets of construction products, which can weight 1200 pounds or more. You’ll need to break up the pallet on delivery and carry the contents up stairs into construction sites, etc. It’s a highly physically demanding job, but can pay decently — about $45 per hour.

AmazonFlex

AmazonFlex pays $25 per hour if you own a van and are willing to use it to deliver packages. You also must be 21 or older; own a van or closed-bed truck, and have the ability to pass a background check. (You can also drive for Amazon when you have a sedan, but you’ll earn less.)
