If you’re strong enough to lift 50 to 75 pounds, you can find moving jobs. Although some of the best paid jobs for movers require a truck, there are some no-truck-required moving jobs too. And better jobs in this space still pay considerably more than minimum wage.

Where can you find no-truck-required moving jobs?
HireAHelper
HireAHelper allows movers to list labor-only services on the site. This site is essentially a spot for professional movers who want to fill their downtime. You set your rates. Movers typically charge between $30 and $90 per hour here. You do, however, need to have a moving license to list. Want to know more? Click here to get the run-down on HireAHelper.

GoShare
At GoShare, if you don’t have a truck, you work as a “helper/courier” and earn between $38 and $40 per hour. (You will need a passenger car that meets GoShare requirements, however.) Generally speaking, you’ll be delivering smaller packages that can be moved in a passenger car. If you have a truck, you can earn considerably more with this platform, however.
