Community & Safety Guidelines

TrunkShare works because neighbors trust neighbors. These are the rules everyone agrees to.

Prohibited Items

You may not ship, and Drivers must not carry:

  • Firearms, ammunition, explosives, or weapons of any kind
  • Illegal drugs, cannabis, or controlled substances
  • Alcohol or tobacco products
  • Hazardous materials: fuel, propane, corrosives, flammables, batteries in bulk
  • Live animals or human remains
  • Perishable food requiring refrigeration or freezing
  • Cash, gift cards, negotiable instruments, or precious metals
  • Stolen goods or counterfeit merchandise
  • Anything illegal under federal, Washington, or local law

Open-Box Verification

Every delivery uses in-app photo checkpoints at pickup and drop-off. Both parties must complete the checklist. Skipping steps voids escrow protection and may lead to account suspension.

Sender Conduct

  • Describe items honestly, including fragility and value.
  • Package for the road โ€” bumps, temperature, and weather happen.
  • Be on time at pickup and drop-off, or communicate through the app.
  • Never ask a Driver to break the law or drive unsafely.

Driver Conduct

  • Only accept jobs that fit your actual route and vehicle.
  • Never drive impaired or fatigued.
  • Keep items secure; do not open sealed packages.
  • Maintain a valid license, registration, and insurance meeting Washington minimums.

Respect & Anti-Discrimination

Discrimination or harassment based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, age, or disability is prohibited and will result in permanent removal.

Off-Platform Activity

Arranging payment or deliveries outside TrunkShare voids escrow, insurance, and dispute support, and violates our Terms.

Reporting

Report unsafe behavior, prohibited items, or fraud immediately to support@trunkshare.com. In an emergency, call 911 first.

Enforcement

Violations may result in warnings, refunds withheld from escrow, temporary suspension, or permanent removal. Serious violations are reported to law enforcement.
