    I’m curious, what category are you hiring people in on taskrabbit? Off the top of my head can’t think of any that match warehousing.

    I was tasking for a while at 30/hr and I’d have to raise my rates to make it worth it. Every customer estimates their task at 30 minutes to an hour but it could be anywhere from 1-4 realistically making it really difficult to schedule consistent work, and that’s before you factor in all the overhead/missing benefits compensation.

      For moving heavy stuff I do moving/loading/unloading and for kitting/assembly I think we use… Office organization? Since that is a sit down job typically.

      For real warehouse stuff (forklift, container unload, pick/pack) I use instawork because in theory those people should have some warehouse experience.

      I’m guessing people that book for 30 mins are probably just regular people? I generally book multiple people for 4+ hours, if it’s less me or one of the warehouse folks will just take care of it.
