How to Make Extra Money With Your Pickup

We feel your pain. You've either paid a king's ransom to finally get the pickup you've always wanted or you've put off buying the pickup you need for just one more year because of how expensive new pickup trucks can be.

Maybe there's a solution. What about making some extra money with your truck? Doing so would address the cost issue and allow you to more fully utilize the capabilities of your truck. No matter what your job, you're probably not using your pickup to regularly haul loads and cargo. And if you need a little extra cash, why not use your truck to help those whose vehicles don't offer the same utility?

Yes, it can be risky, but there are companies that help match truck owners to people in need, especially if you're a "pretty good person." One of them is Pickupnow.com, aka Pickup Instant Deliver, which hires first responders, veterans and other good guys to deliver oversized goods in 30 big cities across the country. Not only does Pickupnow.com partner with major retailers, it also works with individuals. Have company coming to stay and that new mattress you ordered won't arrive in time? Pickupnow.com can match you up with a driver who will meet your deadline. In fact, the company's moto is "Instant Delivery by Good Guys."

Drivers for Pickupnow make at least $25 an hour and can work part or full time. Check the website about other requirements for drivers.
