    Does anybody have any experience driving for companies like Go Share, Bungil, etc. Love driving and wouldn't mind making a couple of extra bucks...

    Don't know much about it, but mpg, location/population, traffic management, operating hours, road condiitions, weather conditions, etc. would all factor in.

    I think @PennSilverTaco drives his Tacoma for Door Dash. Not sure if that's helpful.

    A service for people without a pickup might be handy, towing or hauling locally.

    I did it during the rodeo in Cheyenne. It was fun for the first few nights. Until you pickup a drunk that wants to spit out the window and it ends up everywhere but outside the truck.

    Yep, been thinking myself about partnering with furnitue, equipment, appliance, landscape supply, etc. salespeople and sharing a percentage with them just to go from dock to driveway when it fits my schedule. Not loading or unloading, strictly strap, drive, collect payment, unstrap. Cash is king!

    this is exactly what i had in mind - not uber or uber eats. no passengers, and make enough to justify the mpgs. There are companies who manage this like i mentioned in the OP. I was just looking for some real world experience from someone who has dealt with them to see if it was worth it.

    Good idea to make extra money but I caution you on this. You would be considered in commerce at that point and all DOT rules apply.
