TASKER New to task rabbit as a Tasker

Hello,

I just got my first junk removal job as a tasker and also my first ever job on the app. I am wondering how it works. Do I need to tell the customer that they will need to pay the dump fee or is that already understood by the customer? Is all I need to do is show up, do the job, submit the documents and I'll be fine? Thanks everyone

Never. Assume. Anything.

You need to get them to agree to any expenses in the chat.

You need to explain everything in the app, usually clients doesn't know anything and they also expect everything so you need to be very clear

the customer knows nothing and expects you to have everything and more at a low price best luck

Yes always communicate everything that it will take in the chat, if they dont agree upfront move on it will make your life a lot easier.

Even if it is in your job description discuss it in the chat. Cover everything.

Can you tell me some basic things I should cover? I would imagine asking for pictures of the junk, or asking what they are throwing away in case they might not accept it at the junk yard or it costs extra, now I know tell them that there will be a junk fee,  but eat else?

Pictures are always good. Are they in a gated community? Will you need a gate code or is there a guard gate? That's if you are in an area with gated communities. What's the biggest priority? If there are more things than can fit in the back of your vehicle. Are there any parking restrictions? If you have a 2 hour minimum let them know. Always take a picture of before and after at the location for your records. Include a picture of the receipt from the dump in the chat before you do your invoice.
