Questions? Good.

Everything people ask us, answered like a neighbor would.

What is TheRigBoss?

TheRigBoss is a Texas shipping marketplace that connects people who need something moved — furniture, cars, boats, tractors, appliances, anything big — with verified local truck drivers. No broker, no middleman: you post it, a driver takes it, you track it to the door.

Is TheRigBoss free?

The app is free and your first 5 shipments have zero platform fee — you pay only the driver's rate. After that, a flat 8% is added on top of the driver's rate. There are no subscriptions or memberships for regular folks.

What can I ship?

Furniture, appliances, lumber and building materials, cars, trucks, motorcycles, boats, jet skis, ATVs, RVs, tractors, mowers, hot tubs, gun safes, pianos, sheds, pool tables, gym equipment, storage-unit cleanouts — if it fits on a trailer, you can post it.

What can't I ship?

Anything illegal or hazardous, and anything that needs special authority we haven't enabled yet (like livestock). When in doubt, post it and a driver will tell you.

Where does TheRigBoss operate?

We're launching across the Texas Triangle: Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, and San Antonio — including runs between those metros.

When does TheRigBoss launch?

Winter 2026. Waitlist members get access first, city by city.

Who are the drivers?

Independent Texas hot shot and owner-operator truck drivers. Every driver is verified for operating authority (MC/USDOT where required) and insurance before they can accept a single load.

How much does shipping cost?

Every price is shown up front before you commit: the driver's rate plus a flat 8% platform fee (waived on your first 5 shipments). All loads have a $300 minimum so a real driver with a real trailer is worth booking.

Is my stuff protected?

Drivers carry insurance, and at booking you can add an optional protection plan ($25, $55, or $95 depending on coverage) or decline it.

When do I pay?

At booking your payment is held securely, and the driver is paid when your item arrives and delivery is confirmed. You never hand cash to a stranger.

I drive a truck — what's in it for me?

Everything: you set your rate and keep 100% of it. Our fee is charged to the shipper on top. Founding drivers get verified early and see loads first. Sign up on the Become a Driver page.

I ship for my business — can I use this?

Yes. Businesses start pay-per-load just like everyone else — no contracts, first 5 loads free. High-volume shippers get a volume-pricing conversation when the math makes sense. See the For Business page.

Get first dibs when we go live

Founding members get their first 5 shipments free. No spam — one email when we launch in your city, that's it.
