How do you make money with your truck?

i've been thinking about how people make money with their truck. i remember i had a Jeep cherokee Xj in high school. i posted ads up on craigslist did yard work and helped people move furniture. i made a decent profit and it was fun. i would like to start doing that again as a hobby on the weekends or on my day off for extra cash i was wondering how other people make money using their Tacomas. i feel like my truck is too nice to use as a work truck. but it also has potential to get me some extra cash for some camping supplies!

 

If you're willing to rent it out to people, there's an app called Turo. I've seen 1st gens rent for $30-$60 dollars a day.

Personally I haven't used my Tacoma to make money by using it as a service, but I do buy and sell Tacoma parts from the junkyard.

 

I make money by not having to fix my truck

 

I drive around with an empty bed and wait for money to start falling from the sky, then I race over and catch as much as I can. it hasn't rained much so....

 

It usually involves a pair of speedos and cowboy boots. I park up near the nail salons and do a little jiggle. The housewives throw some dollar bills, and I high tail it out of there before the cops show up.

 

I haven't done this personally, but a coworker i used to know would post ads on Craigslist just for a truck to help people move, and would also watch for ads of people asking for help moving stuff. There would be a surprising number of people offering $50-$100 just for you to come with a pickup and move something like a couch or bed frame from one place to another

 

I've seen things like really nice trailers given away for a days worth of moving out wood out of people's yards. It just sucks cause our beds are so small they're almost worthless. I envy full sized trucks and their bed for actual work.

 

Truth. I love the size of our trucks, but they can't haul dick. Still though, if it's just couches/bed frames/mattresses that people wanted moved it's doable.

 

trade it for a 1 ton

 

Haha if work was the primary goal I would have gotten a Cummins... But I LOVE the size of a first gen taco. Suits me perfectly for my needs

 

I put a bed cap on and used it as a mobile brothel. But then my hoes got fat and i had to trade it in for a duellie.

 

Dude... Shoulda just upgraded to Dakar springs! That's my plan when my hoes get fluffy

 

I lease my Truck to the company I work for at this time $1.00 per mile plus all expenses !!

Most weeks are around 300 miles or so .

Then I get a 1099 at the end of the year I guess the OP is looking for cash in his pocket!!

 

I saw a bumper sticker on a pickup:

"Yes this is my truck, and no I will not help you move."

 

Ain't that the truth!

 

I drive it to my job rain or shine and soon snow when I move to Wisconsin

 

Cut and sell firewood.
During peak season, I was getting $90 for a 1/4 cord seasoned firewood delivered. December - March $$$

 

I use mine as my dd, to and from work which pays the bills which gives me more money to spend on the truck but then I need to work more because I want to do more to the truck so I have to work some more....

 

So far I've only figured out how to spend all of my money on the truck. Still working on figuring out to how make $ with it. I'll get back to ya

 

My truck helps me to get to a place that brings me money. That is the only possible way to make money by owning a truck. I don’t see any other possible ways. Still, I’m glad that I became a sole trader, and my truck helps me get to my clients. I know it is just a start-up for my business, but I’m looking forward to it. Besides, I try to follow some tips and recommendations I found on this blog-post — https://investedwallet.com/rich-vs-wealthy/. Reading this blog post pushed me forward to pursue my goals and get financial independence. That’s why I started my own business and stopped working for someone else.
