How to Make Money with a Pickup Truck

How to Make Money with a Pickup Truck

If you’re one of the many pickup truck drivers in the Logan area and you’re looking to make some extra money, you’re in luck! These days, it’s easier than ever to keep up a side hustle for a little extra cash, and pickup trucks offer unique jobs that can’t be done with your everyday car. Whether you’re hauling cargo, helping out local businesses, or even renting out your truck to those who might need it more, there’s plenty you can do with a truck and/or trailer to boost your income. Truck Ranch has everything you need to know in the guide below, which outlines five of the best ways to make money using your pickup truck.

How to Make Extra Money with a Pickup Truck: 4 Methods

Offer Towing

One of the best benefits of owning a pickup truck is its impressive towing capacity compared to the average vehicle. So why not put that towing capacity to good use and make a little money off of it? With the right equipment, you can use your pickup truck to tow all kinds of cargo for people and businesses around Hillsboro that can’t do it themselves. This could include hauling a car that’s run into trouble on the road, pulling an RV from one location to another, or even working with local dealerships to move some of their inventory around. 

Make Deliveries

The increased space in a pickup truck’s bed (and trailer, if you own one) gives you an advantage when it comes to deliveries. Ask around your local businesses to see if you can work with them to ship and deliver large-scale items and inventory. You can also look into worldwide companies like Amazon to see if they need someone to make deliveries in your area – Amazon Flex is a service that allows locals to deliver packages for up to $25 an hour. 

Rent Out Your Truck

If you don’t necessarily want to use your truck to haul cargo or make deliveries, someone else might! This is an easy way to make extra money without really having to do anything yourself – just advertise that your truck is available for rent to anyone who needs it. You can either negotiate rentals yourself or go through an app like Turbo – just make sure you’re comfortable with the idea of strangers driving your truck.

Help People Move

People are moving all the time, whether it’s residential or commercial, and chances are they’ll have a lot of large items that need to be safely transported around. This is something else you can do yourself or work via an app or online service. If you own a trailer, you’ll be able to hook it up and haul even more cargo at a time.
