The driver is paid per minute for the helper and it is the driver's responsibility to pay their helper(s). When loading the app, the driver will be asked how many helpers are with them.

The cutoff year for vehicles is 1995. Anything older will not be accepted. Special circumstances will be evaluated on a case by case basis.

We strongly recommend that you exercise good judgment on the orders you accept. The customer relies on you to safely & securely pick up and deliver their item(s), on time. Our reputation is built around executing to the customer promise so it is not in anyone's best interest to accept an order, then cancel. Any customer friction created by your indecisiveness will ultimately impact your rating negatively.
