What if a customer ask me to cancel a job for them?

If a customer asks you to cancel a job for them, inform them that only customers can cancel their Moving Help orders, via their customer account. If they have trouble canceling, you can instruct them to contact us.

How do I avoid cancellations?

Do not provide same-day service unless you know you can ALWAYS take more jobs at the last minute.

Carefully manage your availability. If you do not have a large enough crew, only allow one job per time frame (morning, afternoon, or evening).

Don’t overwhelm your days with too many jobs.

Don’t make your coverage area too large. Make sure that you can travel across your coverage area from one job to another. If you have a morning job at one end of your coverage area, and an afternoon job at another, make sure the area itself is small enough for you to accomplish both jobs.
