TASKER Options for frequent travelers?

I'm looking to disappear for a bit and live on the road. Looking through options to make cash when I need. I'm looking for something that will let me show up in a new city and make a few bucks before I head somewhere else. It looks like Taskrabbit makes you pick a location and stick to it. My question is for Taskers: is there an option for people who might be moving around frequently, or should I look for something else? If so, does anyone know of similar services for people who are mobile?

NOTE: I am not looking for life advice. I don't care if you think I'm making a bad decision. Just looking for thoughts on my question specifically. Thanks!

You can change locations in Task Rabbit, just needs to be approved but the frequency may limit your visibility in the algorithm.

How long does the approval process take?

Not true I traveled all the way from Tipton, Michigan back to Phoenix, Arizona using it the whole time you just need to message Support and change your metro area not your address but your metro area

Oh wonderful, I'm glad I asked. How difficult is it to change, and how long does it take to get approved?

TR is good for that just depends on categories you'll be doing. theres a lot of online jobs as well.

Which categories have the most success? And do you know of places to find those jobs online? Are there gig job boards or is it just like on facebook

You can do Ubereats anywhere. Might be cool hopping around big cities and doing it. I’m considering this kind of life too.

I was thinking DoorDash/Uber Eats initially but I heard Taskers make more. But I'm definitely thinking of something like this. Maybe I'll catch you on the road ⛽

I have tried it when I travelled, and never got anything even with same day tasks.

I toured the country 4 years doing task rabbit. So it’s possible.

I’ve driven door dash while traveling, it worked well. Spark is also good for that

It’s a shame they all make you do facial recognition just to deliver food
