Tingsapp for Movers: How Jobs, Pay and Ratings Work

Tingsapp for Movers: How Jobs, Pay and Ratings Work

Tingsapp gives independent movers and moving companies in BC extra local jobs without a subscription. When a job comes up in your area, local movers are notified at the same time and the first to accept gets it. Accepting is always optional, you keep your own customers, you keep 100% of tips, and payouts for completed jobs arrive weekly by direct deposit. Approval comes first, and customers rate every job.

How It Works

  1. Apply on the become-a-mover page and set up your account in the Moverapp.
  2. Get approved: Tingsapp reviews your profile, vehicle and documents before you can accept jobs.
  3. Get notified about jobs in your area, with the fixed price and details shown up front.
  4. Accept the jobs that fit your schedule; the first mover to accept gets the job.
  5. Do the move, using the app for navigation, customer messages and job status.
  6. Get paid weekly for completed jobs, and keep all tips.
