AGMC OFFERS AN OPEN MARKET LISTING AND BOOKING-HELP SERVICE TO HELP INDEPENDENT MOVING COMPANIES SELL THEIR SERVICES TO THE PUBLIC
If you are looking for work as an employee or freelance moving-help contractor, then instead of reading this page about how this system works for moving companies to get listed on AGMC's LIST you should instead click the link below.
MOVING HELPERS
Any Eugene moving company can get added onto A Great Moving Crew's (AGMC's) List of Eugene Moving Companies for free, just by calling AGMC and informing AGMC of that company's moving business website. However, in order for AGMC to list your moving company on AGMC's listing and booking-help service platform as a company AGMC can help book appointments for, you'd need to fill out and turn into AGMC the following three documents.
1) Booking-help Contract For Independent Moving Companies
2) Application Form for Moving Companies,
3) W9.
This contract, application form, and a link to a printable W9 are shown below.
You can either copy and paste these documents from this web-page, and print your own copy of these papers, or you can pick a copy up from AGMC or possibly from one of the other company's listed with AGMC. You'd then need to fill them out and mail them back to AGMC at:
P.O. Box 147
Walterville OR.
97401
Or, you can hand them back to AGMC in person.
LISTING AND BOOKING HELP CONTRACT FOR MOVING COMPANIES
If you (the undersigned) fill out and turn in this contract to AGMC (A Great Moving Crew), this will result in your (self owned) independent moving company becoming listed among other moving companies on AGMC's open market listing and booking help service, (like Home Advisor, Angie's List, and Movinghelp.com) from which moving customers shop for and book the services of independent moving-service related companies. You define and update your company's services offered, rates, fees, policies and availability schedule. You agree AGMC has the right to use its merit based point scoring system to determine the listing order that moving companies are presented to customers, which is a prime factor in the frequency of your services being chosen by customers shopping on the AGMC platform. This could result in a job referral frequency for you that could range from lots of customer job offers to none at all, or vary, or end abruptly, so you agree to not rely on this platform as your sole source of customers.
The booking fee you agree to pay AGMC for this booking-help service is $20 per man hour of labor you charge your customer, or $65 total for 2 man 2hr minimum jobs, to be calculated based on a picture of your customer's job invoice you are agreeing to text to AGMC by the end of the day of the job, and to be paid by you to AGMC by Venmo by the end of the day of the customer's payment form clearing. However, while any invoice pictures or payments are late past this deadline the booking fee raises to $22/mhr.for all jobs, and any further booking help from AGMC should be expected to be restricted or cease entirely at AGMC's discretion.
If and when your moving company's services are chosen for a job appointment, AGMC will pass along to you the customer's job offer information in the form of a text message sent to you through AGMC's phone number describing the customer's desired instructions, job start time, appointment details, and contact information. If you have requested AGMC's help to find some extra helpers for the job, AGMC could include names of some optional freelancers you could choose to hire as well. You would then need to confirm or decline the customer's appointment offer by text. By accepting a job appointment offer, you are confirming that the texted job date, start time, crew size and other details fall within the parameters of what you have directed AGMC to try to help arrange for you, and if they aren't, you agree to decline that job offer.
If in a job offer description text from AGMC, your company's name (or your name) is used in conjunction with the term "Lead moving company" or "Lead" (for short), and if you reply by text with your indication of acceptance, that would constitute you contracting to be "The" moving company that is being hired by the moving customer named in that text (the last name stated in the text), with your company taking sole responsibility and liability for all aspects of that moving job, including for damages; choosing, hiring and paying your crew; injuries: collecting the service bill; tickets; thefts; losses, fines, penalties; claims, worker's comp, taxes, and for everything else about that job. You take sole responsibility for having any needed licensing, certifications and insurance that may be required for any work types you undertake or offer.
For any jobs that AGMC helps book for you as the named Lead company, AGMC would be acting only as an open market listing and booking help service, and you (and your company) would not be working for AGMC, nor be operating as a partner, subcontractor, agent or employee of AGMC. You agree that upon your first contact with your customers you will check to make sure they understand they are hiring your company and not AGMC. You agree that any movers that work on any of your AGMC referred job appointments will be either yourself, your legal employees or freelance independent contractors working for you, with you being solely responsible for their conduct, pay, injuries, worker's comp and unemployment claims. If AGMC is ever charged for worker's comp, unemployment claims, damages, or ODOT fines for your jobs, you agree to reimburse AGMC for those charges immediately. You declare that your company name is registered with the state, and that you are the owner of that company.
