Job rates and tier eligibility
Every posted move carries one of four standardized hourly rates. Your tier decides which rates you can accept.
Overview
You do not set a personal hourly rate on Move Gigs Board. The rate belongs to the job. Every posted move carries one of four standardized hourly rates or a Flat Rate Per Mover, and your tier decides which of those jobs you are eligible to accept.
The four rates
- $35/hr — Labor
- $45/hr — Standard
- $55/hr — Full Service
- $75/hr — Specialty
Why it works this way
Standardized rates let customers compare movers on skill, reviews, and Quality Score instead of price. Tiers keep it honest — a Standard mover cannot accept a Specialty job at the Specialty rate.
Tier eligibility
Open /mover/rate to see the tiers you qualify for and what is missing for the next one (for example, "5 more verified equipment items"). Eligibility is based on verified equipment and your Quality Score, not on items you have only entered.
What you take home
Hourly jobs: the posted hourly rate for your verified hours, minus the 10% platform fee, plus 100% of fuel reimbursement and 100% of tips. Flat Rate Per Mover gigs: the posted flat amount for the whole job, with no platform fee — only the actual card-processing cost is deducted.
Common mistakes
- Chasing the top tier for the paycheck. A bad specialty move costs you the tier and your Quality Score.
- Assuming the rate can be negotiated. It cannot. The customer sets it when they post the move, and it is the same for every mover on that crew.
Frequently asked questions
Can I charge more than the posted rate? No. The rate is fixed for the job.
Does the rate change once I accept? No. Rates are frozen when you join a move.
Can I work jobs at different rates? Yes. Each job pays its own posted rate.
