Where can you find no-truck-required moving jobs? Here are the two best.

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.
