You meet the driver at the pickup, anywhere from Hackney to Islington, and help load and unload: a sofa up the stairs, a fridge, a whole flat. Most jobs are a short hop from Hackney Downs. The driver runs the job and the van; you bring a pair of hands and a steady back.

Offers come to your phone when a driver near Hackney needs a hand. Take the ones that suit you; declining never counts against you.
