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 Muskogee page.
What the work looks like here.
This market has three different characters inside one ring, and you'll feel it in the drive. Muskogee and Fort Gibson are town work, close together and quick. Tahlequah and Park Hill are college-and-lake country up in the hills, where the internet is worse and the houses are older. The south and east end, Porum, Stigler and Vian, is longer two-lane driving, which is why those visits pay the higher travel band.
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 Muskogee ask.
How far out would I drive?
As far as you choose. Muskogee, Fort Gibson, Wagoner, Checotah and Haskell are in the first band, inside twenty-five miles of downtown Muskogee. Okmulgee, Tahlequah, Stigler and Vian are in the second, which pays more per hour, and you pick which bands you take.
Could I live in Tahlequah instead of Muskogee?
Yes. Apply for this market and tell us your town and ZIP. Distances are measured from downtown Muskogee, but you can live anywhere in the market, and the bands you take are your choice. Living in Tahlequah puts you closer to the hill-country end of it.
