LoadUp’s Truck Sharing App For Local Contractors (Includes Hustle + Muscle)

LoadUp connects individuals with removal, pickup and moving needs with local truck and cargo van owners to facilitate truck-sharing services.

Our customers hire local truck owners through the Loader platform rather than renting a truck or U-Haul from a corporation or even buying one for occasional projects. Plus, our trucks come with the added bonus of haulers who handle all the loading, hauling, unloading, and disposal.

The Loader App is designed for contractors, but it benefits consumers, truck drivers and local haulers by providing paid jobs to local contractors, who then provide our affordable services to consumers.

With no-time commitment and the freedom to work in your preferred area and choose the jobs you want, our Loader App is an easy way to boost your income through junk removal.

Unlike most truck sharing companies, LoadUp provides a service for haulers by connecting them with guaranteed, paid, local junk removal jobs.

With the Loader App, contractors are responsible for loading, hauling, and disposing of bulky, heavy, or multiple items themselves, but there’s no need to search for leads or worry about payment options, as LoadUp handles all of that for you.

Disposing of unwanted items isn’t always as easy as just dropping junk at the landfill. There are differing and often strict disposal regulations for many items, including appliances, furniture, electronics, and bulky items like

🛠️ Consider Tools and Disassembly

Plus, without the right tools and help, attempting to move or haul something like a refrigerator, sleeper sofa, large safe, pool table, or a piano is incredibly dangerous.

Many items require disassembly just to get them out the door, meaning you’ll need to spend quite a bit of time taking things apart – and you’ll need to invest in the right tools.

This could include an appliance dolly, furniture dolly, hand tools, or in some cases, a reciprocating saw and power drill.

With LoadUp’s truck sharing app and joining our junk removal platform, you’ll be connected with local consumers that need your help to get rid of these bulky items and are looking for white glove services.

We offer low upfront prices without the need for an on-site estimate from others apps for hauling so that your time and money isn’t wasted by multiple visits from haggling salesmen.

💸 Renting a Truck is Expensive

Renting a truck in order to haul your unwanted items to the dump isn’t the most cost-efficient way to get rid of large unwanted items. According to Move.org, the average cost of a local truck rental starts at about $130.

The base price doesn’t include the average $.99 per mile you’ll have to pay on top of that.

Between picking up the truck, driving it to your property, driving to the dump or recycling facility, and then driving back to drop it off, you’ve already racked up quite a bit of mileage – and additional charges.

If you live in a remote area, you’re more likely to put more miles on a rental truck than someone living in a city. But when you take into account traffic and the difference between city miles and highway miles, it starts to add up quickly.

You’ll also need to consider the gas that you’ll use renting a truck. With the average price of gas hovering around $2 per gallon, you could drop another $20 just to refill what you used.

If you accidentally forget to fill the truck back up to the amount of gas it came with, it’ll cost you a refueling fee of about $30 plus an additional $5 per gallon of gas used.

Yikes! That’s a lot of financial responsibility for a job you still have to do yourself.

🚛 Avoid Disposal Fees

If you decide to take your junk to the landfill, the average dump fees cost between $20 – $50 per ton. However, many landfills require a minimum load weight, so just dumping your old washing machine and dryer at the landfill might not even be possible.

That’s one of the main reasons that most people choose not to do it themselves and hire an eco-friendly junk removal company, instead.

On the flip side, even being eco-friendly isn’t always free. Although many cities have recycling events and drop-off locations, you still might have to pay a small fee to have things like televisions, appliances, laptops, and even scrap metal recycled.

Did You Know? Landfills have a seriously negative effect on the environment. Bulky items like furniture, appliances, mattresses, and electronics – which are actually recyclable – can take anywhere from 50 to 1M+ years to decompose.

If you care about protecting the planet and the future generations to come, you should want to do everything you can to avoid landfill dumping!

As a leader in the junk removal industry, LoadUp believes in finding and utilizing the most responsible, ethically-sound disposal methods available. To date, we’ve diverted over 3 million pounds of junk from local landfills across the United States – and counting.

LoadUp also partners with charities and donation centers across the country to ensure more salvageable items are reused while also going to a good cause.

Consumers who choose our truck sharing junk removal platform can feel good about getting rid of unwanted items while also saving time, money and effort.
