It got me thinking – was it them or is it me? In the Moving Help app tied into Uhaul, the process is very well defined. I am moving, I need people to help me pack, load up the truck, unload the truck and I need it done at a very specific time. They know this process as they help people do it day in and day out all over the US. But for me, I don’t move that often so it’s a project. They help me do my project with their very well defined process. This industry is used to very short-term gigs. There are well-defined expectations on both sides of the fence. You put in the locations for your move and the dates. You get a list of potential moving helpers who are available and their rates. Once you’ve made your selection, they take your payment and hold it in escrow until you specify the job is done. Once the moving help is complete to your satisfaction, you specify the job is done. Then the moving help gets a code and gets paid. Many of the challenges faced in hiring temporary help have been worked out using their service. I now use this exclusively for moving and it’s made that part of life significantly easier...
