Chicago: Keep 90% of What You Earn Doing Delivery, Rides & Handyman Work

Chicago

You're Already Skilled—Now Keep What You Earn

Finding decent work in Chicago right now shouldn't mean handing over a huge cut of what customers pay. If you can drive neighbors to O'Hare, deliver groceries to Lincoln Park, or mount a TV in Pilsen, those skills have real value. On Lumo, you keep 90% of every job you complete—because you're doing the work, and you deserve to be paid accordingly.

Lumo is a local job marketplace connecting independent contractors with people across Chicago who need help with everyday tasks. We're looking for 300 contractors ready to take on work as it comes in. You choose which jobs to accept, set your own schedule around your life, and get paid the same day. Plus, complete your first 100 jobs and you'll earn a $100 USD loyalty bonus.

Three Types of Work, All on Your Terms

Every job on Lumo is one you accept because it works for you:

  • Delivery: Move food, groceries, and packages across the city by car, bike, or scooter. Perfect if you know the neighborhoods and prefer staying on the move.
  • Rides: Drive neighbors to work, appointments, and the airport. Ideal for anyone with a reliable car and a sense of the city's rhythms and routes.
  • Handyman repairs: Mount TVs, fix doors, patch walls, and handle small repairs. Great for people who are good with tools and enjoy solving problems with their hands.

Built for Chicago, Flexible Around Your Life

Whether you're in Wicker Park, Logan Square, the Loop, or anywhere in between, Lumo works the way Chicago lives. No commute to a fixed shift, no manager deciding your worth. You do the work, you keep nearly all of it, and you're paid the same day.

If you're tired of platforms that take too much and pay too little, this is the alternative. Apply on Lumo today and start earning what your time and skill are actually worth.
