Distances are measured from downtown Longview. The towns below sit in Gregg, Harrison, Rusk, Upshur, Panola and Titus counties. Every market reaches 75 miles from its downtown in three travel bands, and the farther bands pay a higher hourly rate because the drive is longer.

Not sure which market your town belongs to? Apply for the city nearest you and tell us where you live. The markets overlap on purpose, and you tell us which queues you want bookings from. What customers here are told is on the Longview page.
What the work looks like here.
Oil field towns with older brick and frame houses, plant and hospital families, students at Kilgore College and in Marshall, and houses set back in the pines where the first question is which internet service reaches them. I-20 carries the close band from Kilgore to Marshall; Carthage, Jefferson and Mount Pleasant are the longer drives, and they pay the higher band rates.
You keep the majority of every booking, and every tip is yours. You see the split up front. Tips are paid out weekly, in full.
You set your own availability. Open the times that suit you in Nerd HQ. A few evenings a week or full time, that part is your call.
Bookings come through the Nerd HQ app. Customers book the open time you publish, with buffer time built in around each visit.
Nobody negotiates money at the door. Every booking takes a deposit up front and holds the card. The customer signs off on your phone at the end and the rest charges itself.
You're independent. Your own tools, any reliable and presentable vehicle, and free to work elsewhere whenever you like.
You have a team behind you. You get the Nerd HQ app, a direct line to HQ, a team that meets over video, and other Local Nerds to ask when something's strange.
Questions people in Longview ask.
Do I need to live in Longview itself?
No. Apply for this market and tell us your town and ZIP. Distances are measured from downtown Longview, but you can live in Kilgore, Marshall, Henderson or anywhere else in the market.
Is Tyler part of this market?
No. Tyler, Lindale and Whitehouse are their own market, measured from downtown Tyler. Apply to the one closest to your house and tell us your ZIP.

This page describes an independent contractor opportunity and is not an offer of employment.

Compensation is a revenue share paid on completed bookings. Nothing on this page guarantees any level of income or booking volume, in this market or any other.
