Which type of Zoomy work may fit you?
Explore the kinds of work, roles and requirements you may want to consider before starting your application.
This guide is here to help you think it through. It does not decide anything. Zoomy Driver confirms the current requirements and options for the work you apply for.
The short version
The Zoomy marketplace has three kinds of work: delivery, moving and junk removal. Within them there are Driver roles, and Helper roles may be available for some work.
What you drive, or whether you drive at all, changes which roles you may want to look at. It does not by itself decide what you are approved for.
You can apply for more than one type of work, and Zoomy reviews each one separately. You do not have to settle on a single answer before you start.
Requirements and available work differ by area, role and type of work, and they can change. Zoomy Driver shows what currently applies to the work you choose.
Four questions to narrow it down
Answer these for yourself. Each one tells you which part of the marketplace to read about next — none of them produces a result, and nothing here is submitted anywhere.
Question 1
Do you want to drive, or to help on site?
- Drive
- Help on site
- Open to either
This is the first fork, because Driver roles and Helper roles ask for different things. If either would suit you, you can look at both when you apply.
See how the two roles differ →Question 2
What vehicle or equipment do you have access to?
- Car
- Pickup
- Cargo van
- Box truck
- No vehicle
A vehicle shapes what you may want to explore; it does not by itself decide what you qualify for. Some Helper work may not require you to drive.
Read the vehicle considerations →Question 3
What kind of work do you actually want to do?
- Driving
- Lifting and carrying
- Working on your own
- Working with other people
These are preferences about how you like to work, not descriptions of every job. Being honest with yourself here is the part no requirement list can tell you.
Compare the three types of work →Question 4
Are you open to extra requirements or training?
- Keep it simple
- Happy to add a Skill
- Open to training
Some types of work ask for more than others — documents, a Skill you can show, or training. What is asked for depends on the area and the work, and the app shows the current list.
Requirements to consider →These four questions are a way of thinking, not an assessment. Nothing you read here grants eligibility, and no combination of answers means you will be approved for a type of work.
The types of work
Three kinds of work, named so you can tell them apart. Which of them exists in your area, the roles within them and what each one asks for is shown in Zoomy Driver when you apply.
- Delivery
Picking up and dropping off
Picking up and dropping off items. What any particular job involves varies with the work.
The role, vehicle and current requirements depend on the work shown in Zoomy Driver.
Delivery work → - Moving
Moving people’s things
Helping move items from one place to another, as a Driver or as a Helper depending on the role.
The role, vehicle or equipment and current requirements depend on the work shown in Zoomy Driver.
Moving work → - Junk removal
Clearing and taking away
Removal and hauling work: clearing items and taking them where the job says they go.
The role, vehicle or equipment and current requirements depend on the work shown in Zoomy Driver.
Junk removal work → - Helper roles
Helping on the job
Helper roles may be available for some types of Zoomy work. Some Helper work may not require you to drive.

Driver and Helper compared →
Driver and Helper roles
The same job can need someone to drive it and someone to work it. Here is how the two differ. Neither is the better option, and neither is a step towards the other.
| Driver role | Helper role | |
|---|---|---|
| What you do | Drive to the job, and take part in the work the job describes. | Help on the job. Some Helper work may not require you to drive. |
| What you bring | A vehicle suited to the work, plus the documents that go with driving it. | Yourself, and any equipment the type of work asks for. |
| Where it applies | Across the types of work on the marketplace, depending on the role. | Helper roles may be available for some types of Zoomy work. |
| Requirements | Include vehicle and document requirements for the work you apply for. | May not require a vehicle, and can still include checks or training. |
| Applying | Chosen in Zoomy Driver as one of the types of work you are interested in. | Chosen the same way, and can be chosen alongside Driver roles. |
This is a description of two roles, not a recommendation. Approval is scoped to the types of work you applied for, so being approved for one does not carry over to the other.
Vehicle and equipment
A vehicle shapes what you may want to explore; it does not by itself decide what you qualify for. The requirements for any specific type of work are the ones Zoomy Driver shows you.

Requirements to consider
They vary, and they change
Requirements depend on the area, the role and the type of work. Zoomy Driver shows the current ones for the work you apply for.
Confirming who you are
Confirming your identity is part of applying. Some types of work also ask for screening or checks where those are required.
Skills and training
A Skill is something you can show. Training is something a type of work may ask you to complete. A Skill you add may need evidence or review before it counts.
There is no single approved status
Each type of work you apply for is reviewed separately, and some may be approved before others. Approval for one does not cover everything.
