We talk about side gig apps<\/a> a lot on WebMonkey.<\/p>\n It doesn't matter if it's delivering food for DoorDash<\/a> or using apps like TaskRabbit<\/a> to find gigs in your city: if you can make decent money doing it and work on your own schedule, it's a win in our book!<\/p>\n Now, today we're going to talk about a slightly more niche money-making idea: becoming a GoShare driver.<\/p>\n If you want to earn upwards of $80 per hour depending on the type of truck you have, be sure to read our GoShare review until the end.<\/p>\n Want some other quick cash ideas besides GoShare? Checkout<\/strong>:<\/p>\n GoShare<\/a> is a delivery, logistics, and moving platform that connects driver contractors with customers who need help with a delivery of some sort.<\/p>\n This on-demand delivery work is immensely popular in the gig economy, and there's other apps that pay you to drive<\/a> and help people with deliveries.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Specifically, GoShare offers the following services:<\/p>\n What makes GoShare slightly different is the multitude <\/span> of vehicles you can make deliveries with and, most importantly, the hourly pay.<\/p>\n See, while food delivery apps like DoorDash and Uber Eats<\/a> pretty much require using a beater that doesn't take up much gas, GoShare is a little different.<\/p>\n GoShare driver pay depends on the type of vehicle and work you do. This hourly rate ranges from $36 per hour to $85 per hour based on data on GoShare's website<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n GoShare also states that top drivers earn over $1,200 per week. However, I definitely wouldn't take this as gospel. GoShare is a freelancer marketplace, so your earnings are impacted by how many gigs are available, how many drivers you compete with, and how many hours you put in.<\/p>\n Since it's probably hard to find consistent work, I'd expect GoShare driver pay to be a few extra hundred bucks per month at most, and that's if you get enough gigs.<\/p>\n Ultimately, GoShare is really a solid side hustle to boost your income or make money fast if you're sick of having no money<\/a>. For most, becoming a GoShare driver isn't a ticket to quit your day job, so keep this in mind!<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: GoShare also offers a “fleet” option if you own several vehicles and have a team of delivery workers and want to ensure there's always work to do.<\/p>\n Extra Reading\u00a0<\/strong>– 20+ Jobs That Pay $5,000 Per Month<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yes, GoShare is legit and pays you for completing on-demand delivery jobs for people in your city. It has plenty of positive reviews and thousands of active drivers across multiple states as well<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The company also has a 3.8 star rating on Indeed<\/a> and 10 reviews from drivers. Here's what some other GoShare reviews are saying:<\/p>\n As you can see, people like GoShare since it's flexible and is one of the highest paying apps<\/a> in the gig economy. But some drivers don't like how inconsistent gigs are with GoShare and that it's not always busy. The fact you pay for the background check and that onboarding can take a while are also downsides worth noting.<\/p>\n Driving for GoShare is worth it if you want a flexible side hustle and have the right vehicle for it. If you're looking for a full-time job or don't have a larger vehicle, it's not the right side gig for you<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This decision largely depends on your financial goals and how many GoShare gigs are in your area.<\/p>\n If you're in a busy city and there's enough gigs, GoShare can definitely help boost your monthly income. For small towns<\/a>, I'm not so sure. It's actually kind of hard to find reviews from other GoShare drivers other than YouTube.<\/p>\n From what I can tell, a lot of drivers seem to use multiple apps to ensure they have enough work. My advice is to try GoShare, see if it's worth it, but track your earnings and gas!<\/p>\n You need to report your income accurately on your taxes after all, and you can probably deduct mileage as well. I suggest using a mileage tracking app like Everlance<\/a><\/strong> to handle all of this automatically.<\/p>\n Once you're a GoShare driver, earning extra cash is really as simple as accepting deliveries in your area and completing the gig.<\/p>\n The real key is getting accepted as a driver. To do that, it's critical to understand GoShare's driver requirements.<\/p>\n To work with GoShare, you must:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If that sounds like you, it's also important to check that GoShare is in your area!<\/p>\n The platform is expanding to new cities but currently serves about 16 states, including Texas, Florida, New York, and California.<\/p>\n Note:\u00a0<\/strong>GoShare states that “delivery professionals cover the costs of the background check which is $45, or $150 if you have ever lived in New York state. This fee is non-refundable.”<\/p>\n This is an unfortunate starting cost, but when you consider how much GoShare drivers can make, it might be worth it.<\/p>\n As a GoShare driver, you can make deliveries with:<\/p>\n Your hourly wage gets particularly lucrative from pickup trucks and up, so if you want to make money with your pickup truck<\/a>, this could be the platform for you!<\/p>\n However, each vehicle class has a certain set of requirements aside from being newer than 15 years old and not being a salvage title.<\/p>\n The rules are a little specific. For example, pickup trucks need a bed of at least 5 feet. Similarly, there's different classifications between box trucks and cargo vans depending on size.<\/p>\n For starters, give GoShare's vehicle requirements document<\/a> a read. The truly important part is to pass GoShare's vehicle inspection.<\/p>\n This involves submitting additional information after your application about your vehicle. You complete an actual inspection at a service station or on a call with a GoShare team member.<\/p>\n The inspection tests aspects like lights, steering, brakes, horn, seat belts, and windshield wipers. And if your tires or body are damaged, you might have to repair these before becoming a driver.<\/p>\n All of this is for insurance purposes, and there's no avoiding it. However, you can always re-apply to become a GoShare driver if you're rejected, so there's no risk in trying!<\/p>\n Extra Reading – How To Make Money With My Cargo Van<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you're accepted to become a GoShare driver, you're ready to start making extra money on the side!<\/p>\n Just note: GoShare states the application takes around a week, but a lot of this is dependent on your submitting things like your banking information and completing the vehicle inspection as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n Anyway, once you're set, you can view local delivery opportunities in your area on GoShare's app.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n You're an independent contractor, so you're free to accept or skip jobs depending on your schedule and what they entail.<\/p>\n Also note:\u00a0some jobs are for individuals whereas some jobs are for helpers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Individual jobs pay you a variable range based on your vehicle and what task you're doing. In contrast, GoShare also lets you work as a helper<\/a>.<\/p>\n Helpers don't require a vehicle, and instead tag along on GoShare gigs that require two delivery professionals.<\/p>\n Helpers earn around $40 per hour<\/strong>, and anyone accepted to GoShare can work as a Helper (which is handy if you don't always want to drive your vehicle to make extra cash).<\/p>\n GoShare handles all of the details with the customer, so you essentially get an address, show up, and get to work.<\/p>\n However, customers leave reviews, so it's important to be polite, professional, and to arrive on time. If you need to cancel a gig, you can do so through GoShare's app.<\/p>\n If you cancel the wrong way and make GoShare look bad, you incur certain penalties<\/strong>:<\/p>\n However, if customers cancel, you're also protected. If a customer cancels a project within 60 minutes of starting, you earn between $10.35 and $48.30 depending on your vehicle class.<\/p>\n Anyway,\u00a0hopefully\u00a0<\/em>cancellations aren't an issue and you can just make money helping people move and by delivering packages!<\/p>\n Extra Reading –\u00a0The Best P2P Delivery Jobs<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Once you complete a gig, GoShare processes payments from the customer and pays you through direct deposit within 4 days<\/strong>.<\/p>\n This happens every week too, not biweekly, so you can make money quickly with this side hustle.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Note that GoShare technically pays you per minute, hence why they advertise hourly ranges for your earning potential.<\/p>\n This means you find out how much you earn\u00a0after\u00a0<\/em>a gig is done, which can be a nice surprise or slight annoyance depending on what you prefer.<\/p>\n Extra Reading – Is Uber Eats Worth It For Drivers?<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n GoShare states drivers can earn over $1,200 per week. However, it's unlikely you can make this much unless you live in a massive and busy market. For most drivers, expect to earn a few hundred dollars per week at most.<\/p>\n If you want even more ideas, check out our post on the best ways to make an extra $1,000 a month<\/a>.<\/p>\n Extra Reading – How To Make $5,000 Dollars Fast<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n If you like the idea of making money with GoShare but want to try some other delivery gigs, the great news is that you have lots of options.<\/p>\n Some other popular GoShare alternatives you can try include<\/strong>:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Roadie is the most similar job like GoShare out there, so it's a natural fit. However, you can also make great money with the other delivery apps, and you can probably work more hours per week due to the higher demand.<\/p>\n Extra Reading – How To Make $300 In A Day<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n It's up to the customer to tip you after a GoShare gig. However, you keep 100% of all tips you earn.<\/p>\n According to GoShare, you can't have any felonies or violent misdemeanors within the last 7 years. Same goes for most violations like excessive speeding, DUIs, or license suspensions.<\/p>\n You can view the list of requirements on its FAQ page<\/a>.<\/p>\n At the end of the day, GoShare is another promising player in the world of gig economy apps.<\/p>\n If you have a pickup truck, cargo van, or box truck, I think it's definitely worth applying to GoShare to see how much you can make.<\/p>\n Paying for the background check and applying takes some time and effort, but a single gig can recoup that cost and more. Just\u00a0don't expect GoShare to earn enough for you to quit your day job!<\/p>\n You can also experiment and try out other driving gigs that pay like Uber Eats<\/a><\/strong> and Instacart<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n That's all for now!
