Taskrabbit Delivery is the moving and big-and-bulky delivery platform that used to be called Dolly. Taskrabbit bought Dolly in November 2024 and retired the Dolly name in May 2026. The service still runs as its own platform for small moves, store pickups, retail deliveries and hauling, with its own app for the people who do the work, called Helpers and Hands. If you own a pickup truck, van or box truck, or can lift heavy items, this is where your Dolly-style work now lives.

What changed with the rebrand
Existing Dolly Helpers kept using the same app, now branded Taskrabbit Delivery. Jobs are called tasks instead of “Dollys”. Everyone had to accept new terms with Taskrabbit Delivery Platform LLC, which replaced the old Dolly Helper Agreement. Taskrabbit says Helpers still control their schedule, the areas they work in and the services they offer.
How it works
Customers and retail partners book a move or delivery with item details, addresses and timing. Jobs show in the Helper app, and you accept the ones that fit. Helpers bring a truck or van; Hands provide labour on jobs that need two people. You load, transport and place items, sometimes in a chosen room for retail deliveries.
Separate from TaskRabbit tasking
Taskrabbit Delivery and the main TaskRabbit marketplace still run as separate experiences. If you also want assembly or mounting jobs, Taskrabbit encourages Helpers to register as Taskers too.
Getting started
Check that Taskrabbit Delivery covers your city, then sign up as a Helper or Hand. Expect a background check and vehicle checks if you drive. Truck size affects which jobs you can take.
Tips for new Helpers
Keep straps, blankets and a hand truck in your vehicle so you can say yes to more job types. Read item lists carefully before accepting, and message the customer if something looks bigger than described. Good ratings on early jobs help you get offered more work.
Pay and costs
Pay depends on the job, distance and vehicle. Fuel, insurance and wear on your truck come out of your earnings, so track mileage for tax and compare each offer against your real costs before accepting.
Owen’s take
If you were on Dolly, nothing much changed day to day. If you’re new and own a pickup, it’s one of a handful of apps that turn a truck into steady weekend income, alongside GoShare and Lugg.
Who it suits
It suits truck and van owners in covered US cities who can lift heavy items safely. It suits less well anyone without a vehicle who isn’t paired with a Helper.
