You’re always in control
Work as little or as much as you like, it’s your choice. Many Instatruck subcontractors drive to fill gaps between contracted work, or earn extra with their trade vehicle. The work flows fast enough to drive every day of the week if you want. After all, a vehicle sitting idle is costing you every minute, so turn it into an asset!
Drivers love that we pay regularly and all invoicing is automatic. We keep the clients honest and chase up invoices, so you’ll be paid for the work done to date, regardless of the client.

Instatruck is great for customers and great for drivers. It’s incredible the number of times I have gone online with their system and been matched to a job less than 10 minutes away. It is great to have an additional avenue for picking up jobs and their rates are consistent and fair.

I have a 6t Flatbed and have been using Instatruck’s platform for 3 years. Instatruck helps to keep me on the road and working. The driver app is easy to use and the customers have been pretty good so far too.

I reckon it’s good! Less stress, flexible hours, good bunch of blokes to work with, and at least I can get someone on the phone when I call in.

Instatruck has been such a great help to me over the last 6 months. It’s been really good for filling in the gaps and picking up extra work when it gets quiet.
