FINDR
Haul Driver Guide

Put your truck to work.

FINDR Haul connects truck and pickup drivers with wholesalers and businesses that need goods moved. Businesses post a price; you accept it or bid. You are paid to your FINDR wallet after the drop-off code and a 24-hour hold, then you cash out to MoMo. This guide walks you through it.

1How FINDR Haul works

A wholesaler or a verified business posts a delivery job: where to pick up, where to drop off, the load, the smallest vehicle that fits, a pickup window and the price they will pay.

  1. You see the jobs that fit your vehicle and accept the price or send a bid.
  2. The business chooses a driver and pays FINDR. FINDR holds the money.
  3. You collect the goods with a pickup code from the business and deliver them with a drop-off code from the receiver.
  4. Your pay lands in your FINDR wallet, on hold for 24 hours, then you can cash it out to MoMo.
Open now, starting with Koforidua. FINDR Haul is open in selected areas, starting with Koforidua. FINDR takes no commission for now (0%): you keep the agreed fee, less any cancellation charge you owe (see Cancelling and charges). We will give you at least 30 days' notice in the app before any commission is introduced.

The FINDR Haul Driver Terms set out the rules in full. Read them before you sign up.

2Sign up for Haul

You must be at least 25 years old and hold a valid Ghana driving licence for the vehicle you drive. You give your licence number and date of birth when you sign up.

New to driving with FINDR

You can sign up for Haul only. You do not need to do rides or food deliveries.

  1. In the FINDR app, open the You tab and tap Drive with FINDR.
  2. Tap Haul goods.
  3. On Haul goods with FINDR, enter your full name, your driving licence class and number, your date of birth, and the MoMo number and network (MTN, Telecel or AirtelTigo) you want to cash out to. Your phone number is the one you signed in with.
  4. Take a selfie so businesses can recognise you.
  5. Tap Next: add a vehicle.

Already a FINDR driver or rider

Open your driver dashboard and switch from Drive to Haul at the top. On the Haul goods with FINDR card, tap Add a vehicle. On Apply for FINDR Haul, check your licence number and add your date of birth, then add your vehicle. Your rides and deliveries carry on as before.

The FINDR Haul Driver Terms

When the app shows the terms, tap Read the terms, tick the box to agree, and tap I agree, continue. If the terms change, the app asks you to agree to the new version before your next bid.

Signed up before, but your details are missing? Your Haul tab shows Complete your details. Add your licence number and date of birth to see haul jobs and bid again. Your live trips, earnings and cash-out keep working. A date of birth already on file can only be corrected by FINDR support.

3Add your vehicle and documents

You can add more than one vehicle. Each one is checked on its own.

Documents

DocumentNeeded?
Roadworthy (expiry date)Required
Insurance that covers commercial goods use (expiry date)Required
DVLA sticker (expiry date)Required
Goods-in-transit insuranceOptional. Businesses see it on your bids.

A missing or expired roadworthy, insurance or DVLA sticker, insurance that does not cover carrying goods for payment, or no number plate blocks the vehicle from haul jobs. This happens on the expiry date and FINDR cannot override it. Keep your dates up to date. Changing any vehicle detail sends it back for review, and you cannot bid with it until it is verified again.

4Getting approved

Tap Submit for review. Your Haul tab shows Under review while FINDR checks your details and your vehicle. We tell you when you are approved, and the tab then shows Approved for FINDR Haul. You can bid with any vehicle FINDR has verified.

5Find haul jobs

Post that you are free

Tap I'm available, pin where you are, name the area, and add where you are heading if you want a return load (for example Accra). Choose the vehicle and how long you are free, then tap Post. Businesses near you can then invite you to bid on their jobs.

6Accept or bid

  1. Open a job and tap Accept (for example Accept GH₵500) to take the posted price, or Bid a different price (in whole cedis, up to GH₵20,000) when the business allows bids.
  2. Under I can be at pickup in, pick 30 min, 1 h, 2 h or 4 h, add a note for the business if you like, and tap Send bid (or Accept the price if you are taking the business's price).
  3. Changed your mind? Tap Withdraw while the business is still choosing. It costs nothing.
  4. If the business chooses you, we tell you. Do not set off yet. The business has a short time to pay. We tell you the moment it is paid, and then the pickup details and phone numbers show on the job.

Track all your jobs under My bids and hauls on the Haul tab.

7The trip and the two codes

You never see the codes in your app. They come from the people at each end, and they are how you get paid.

  1. Go to pickup. Open the trip, tap Navigate, and use Call the business if you need to.
  2. Pickup code. Once the goods are on your truck, ask the business for the pickup code, type it in and tap Confirm pickup.
  3. Go to drop-off. Drive safely to the receiver. Use Call the receiver if you need to.
  4. Drop-off code. When the goods are off the truck, ask the receiver for the drop-off code, type it in and tap Confirm drop-off.
Five wrong tries lock the haul. The app shows how many tries you have left. After five wrong codes, code entry locks until FINDR checks it. Contact FINDR support to finish the haul. Always ask the person to read the code again before you type it.

Keep your phone's location on while a haul is in progress, so the business and the receiving shop can see where the goods are. Once you have entered the pickup code you cannot cancel in the app; if you cannot finish the trip, contact FINDR support at once.

8Goods you must not carry

Never carry passengers for payment on a haul. Refuse loads that include:

Refuse the load at pickup

  1. Do not enter the pickup code. On the trip, tap Refuse this load.
  2. Say what the load is and why it is prohibited, and add up to 6 pictures if you can. Tap Refuse the load.
  3. FINDR's Haul desk reviews it. While it does, do not collect the load.
What FINDR decidesWhat it means for you
The load is prohibitedThe haul is cancelled as the business's cancel. No charge to you.
The load is allowedFINDR asks you to collect it. If you still will not carry it, it counts as you cancelling (see Cancelling and charges).

Found prohibited goods after you entered the pickup code? Stop somewhere safe and contact FINDR support at once. FINDR's Haul desk decides what happens.

10Cancelling and charges

The rule is simple: whoever cancels pays the payment processing fee.

What happensWhat it means for you
You withdraw a bid before the business choosesNothing to pay.
You step back after being chosen, before the business paysNothing to pay. The haul opens again for other drivers.
You cancel a paid haulThe business gets a full refund. The payment processing fee comes off your next haul payment.
You do not pick up within the pickup windowThe business can cancel for a full refund. The payment processing fee comes off your next haul payment.
The business cancels before pickupNo charge to you.
FINDR confirms a load you refused is prohibitedNo charge to you. It counts as the business cancelling.
FINDR cancels the haulNo charge to you.

A charge you owe shows in Haul earnings as a cancellation charge that comes off your next haul payment. It never takes a payment below zero, and you are never asked to pay it any other way. Once a haul is picked up it cannot be cancelled in the app; FINDR support handles it.
