Own a pickup or a truck in Jeddah? How to earn from furniture moving

Owners of a pickup or a dyna in Jeddah often find work through a listing on Haraj, or a phone number that neighbors pass around. An app is one more source of orders: they come to your phone, with the addresses and the size of the job, and you decide which to take.

This guide is for drivers with a pickup or a truck. It explains how furniture orders in the BeePlus app differ from parcel delivery and what a customer expects from you. Registration itself is covered in How to become a delivery driver in Jeddah with your own vehicle.

Which orders go to a pickup and which to a truck

A customer picks the vehicle by what has to be moved.

A pickup is chosen for a few large items: up to 600 kg, with the largest item up to 200 × 100 × 100 cm. It is also what people order to bring home a purchase from a store.

A truck is chosen for furniture and for moving house. The app has five sizes, by the inside of the cargo body:

• S: 170 × 100 × 90 cm, up to 400 kg, 1 loader.

• M: 260 × 130 × 150 cm, up to 800 kg, 2 loaders.

• L: 380 × 180 × 180 cm, up to 1,400 kg, 2 loaders.

• XL: 400 × 190 × 200 cm, up to 2,000 kg, 2 loaders.

• XXL: 500 × 200 × 200 cm, up to 4,000 kg, 2 loaders.

The numbers are length × width × height. Measure the inside of your own cargo body and compare: this is what a customer expects to fit.

You drive and you carry

This is the main difference from parcel delivery. With a parcel you hand it over at the door. With furniture, the loading is part of the job.

The number of loaders in the order tells you who carries:

• 1 loader means one person: you. You are the driver and the loader.

• 2 loaders means two people: you, driving and loading, and a second person who only loads.

The app suggests the number by the size of the vehicle, as in the list above.

Floors and stairs

The customer writes the floor and the door number in the order, at both addresses. Carrying to the floor is part of the job, and it is paid by time. When the order includes loaders, that means you: you carry heavy items up the stairs even where there is no elevator.

So read the order before you accept it: the floor at both ends tells you more about the work than the distance does.

Loading and waiting time is paid

The customer's price has three parts: the distance, a booking fee, and the actual time of loading or waiting.

• You wait for the customer 10 minutes free of charge.

• Loading time is paid by the customer separately.

A customer can order for right now or book for another day. Cancelling is free for the customer until you arrive.

A passenger in the cab

A truck has one passenger seat, and the customer may ride in the cab. In a pickup nobody rides with the items.

What the customer expects from you

Our guides tell customers what to expect from the driver:

• You arrive by the time the app shows. The customer sees you on the map, with the arrival time.

• The vehicle is the size they ordered. The guides tell them to measure their longest item against the numbers above.

• Things are carried with care. You are responsible for the customer's items from loading to unloading, and BeePlus does not insure them, so how you load and tie them down matters.

• Packing may be part of the order. The customer can mark packing in the app.

• Taking furniture apart is a separate matter. A customer who needs a wardrobe taken apart and put together again arranges it with BeePlus support.

What may not be carried at all is listed in the Terms of Use.

What to keep in the truck

This is general advice from the trade, not a BeePlus rule:

• straps or rope, to tie the load down;

• blankets or cardboard, to put between pieces of furniture;

• gloves;

• a hand trolley, if you have one;

• a charged phone and a holder for it, since the route is in the app.

Start each order with an empty and clean cargo body.

Pay and commission

You are paid per order, and before you accept an order the app shows what you will earn from it. For now the customer pays you in cash when the job is done.

The commission in the first three months is 0%. After that it is 20% for a pickup and 25% for a truck. Right now, while customers pay drivers in cash, BeePlus takes no commission at all.

BeePlus quotes two general figures for its drivers: from SAR 20 per delivery, and SAR 100–200 a day as what drivers usually make. They are not separate figures for trucks, and they are not a promise: what you earn depends on how much you work and on your vehicle. How to work out your own income, with fuel and upkeep, is in How much a delivery driver earns in Jeddah.
