The ground you'd cover.
Distances are measured from downtown Wichita Falls. The towns below sit in Wichita, Clay, Archer, Young, Baylor and Montague 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. You choose which bands you take, and you can change it later.

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 Wichita Falls page.
What the work looks like here.
Sheppard families who move in and out on orders, students at Midwestern State, long brick ranch houses from the 1950s through the 70s, and a lot of retirees who want somebody to sit down and explain the current version of everything. Across town is a quick drive; Olney, Bowie and Seymour are the longer drives through ranch country, 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 Wichita Falls ask.
Do you work with the families at Sheppard?
We help them at home, the same as anybody else, and we don't work inside base systems. Families who move on orders need the whole house set up again each time.
How long are the drives?
Wichita Falls, Burkburnett and Iowa Park are the close band. Electra, Archer City, Olney and Bowie are in the second, and Jacksboro and Graham are in the third. The farther bands pay more per hour, and you pick which of them you take.

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.
