Transport jobs fail for one reason more than any other: the driver discovers on arrival that the load is not what they imagined. The mattress does not fold, the third floor has no lift, the "few boxes" are twenty. All of that is avoidable at posting time.
Describe the load like a driver would
- What exactly is being moved — dimensions and rough weight for anything large.
- A photo. For furniture and appliances this is non-negotiable; it replaces a paragraph of description.
- Both addresses, with floors and whether there is a lift at each end.
- Who loads and unloads. Alone, the driver? You helping? Two people needed?
- When — and whether the slot is fixed or flexible. Flexible timing usually gets you a better price.
Fragile, valuable, or urgent
Say so explicitly. A driver who accepts a marble table or a same-day delivery knowingly will prepare for it — blankets, straps, a second pair of hands. One who finds out on the doorstep will improvise, and improvisation is where damage happens.
Compare offers on the same basis
The cheapest number often excludes exactly what you need. When offers arrive, check what each one includes: loading help, fuel, tolls for intercity runs, and whether the price changes if the job takes longer than planned. A serious transporter will answer these in one message.
Intercity transport
For a run to another wilaya, agree the delivery window, not just the day. Share the receiver's phone number with the driver once you have accepted an offer, and ask for a photo on delivery — most drivers do this without being asked.
Where Brikoula fits
Post the job once with photos, addresses and timing, and transporters in your area send offers you can compare — vehicle size, price, reviews from previous customers. The transporter spends coins to unlock your contact details; posting costs you nothing. Good descriptions get good prices, because nobody has to quote for the unknown.
