Methodology: how MoveKlar verifies
MoveKlar is a decision tool for self-employed transfer drivers - not a logistics operator and no consultancy. We structure publicly verifiable facts with date and source, so you can compare what's left after fuel and fees.
Sources
Official driver and partner pages
Registration pages, FAQs and terms of every platform. This is the primary source for fees, reimbursements and requirements.
Price and condition pages
We only take over commission, cost model and insurance statements if the platform publishes them itself.
No secondary aggregators
Blogs, forums and third-party comparison lists don't count as a source. If a platform only claims something there, the cell stays 'not published'.
Verification rules
Dated facts
Every cell in the comparison carries a verification date (e.g. 18 Aug 2026). Data older than 90 days is marked as stale and re-verified.
Honest gaps
What is not publicly documented stays 'not published' or 'review pending'. We don't invent values to make a table complete.
Filters instead of scores
The default sorting follows your filters (cost model, insurance, region, pricing model) - not a MoveKlar score. There is no hidden weighting.
No test winners
We don't assign grades or crown winners. Which platform fits depends on region, starting capital and preferences - you decide based on the data.
Complete coverage
We list every platform that publishes verifiable conditions - including those that don't pay us. Platforms without public data are marked 'review pending' instead of being skipped.
Earnings estimator: how we calculate
The earnings estimator is a sample calculation for first orientation, not an income guarantee. It applies your job (job value, distance, return, fuel price, consumption, insurance, time) to each platform's verified terms.
Formula
Net per job = gross − commission − fuel (only if not reimbursed) − return fuel − per-job insurance (driver pays). We derive net per km and per hour from that. Tolls and overnight stays aren't in the model yet, because conditions vary too much per job.
Verified terms only
Commission, fuel and insurance treatment come from the dated claim cells of the comparison. When a prerequisite isn't verified, the estimator shows “insufficient data” instead of a number - it invents no value. An “assumed” flag marks the few cases where we make a transparent, conservative assumption (e.g. return as your own drive).
Sorting is openly declared
The default order is net, highest first, computable platforms before those with insufficient data. That's a declared default, not a judgement: there is no hidden weighting and no winner badge, and you can narrow the selection any time.
What the estimator deliberately doesn't do
It doesn't know trip density in your region, doesn't compute business taxes/insurance, and doesn't promise “you will earn X”. You supply the gross job value because it varies per job and can't be verified as a flat figure.
What we don't compare
No live trip density: we cannot measure how many trips are available in your city. Region filters show the focus areas documented by the platforms, not market data.
No net-income guarantee: your actual result depends on trip selection, region, season and negotiation. We show the conditions, not your future income.
Reviews are not part of the calculation: the estimator uses only verified terms cells. We use driver reviews as a separate, tagged signal and as a cross-check — never as a hidden input.
Driver signal: the reviews we use
We capture publicly available Trustpilot reviews on a rolling basis (state per platform in the profile), tag each entry by role (driver / owner / customer) and by theme, and publish them as “Driver signal” in the profile — with date and link, labeled as independent and not verified. Only entries that state a platform fact may support a claim cell. Under § 5b (3) UWG: we make these reviews accessible, show their origin and capture date, and they feed no ranking.
Three evidence tiers — what a cell tells you about us
Verified
A primary source (FAQ/terms/partner page/platform reply) backs the statement. Only this tier feeds the earnings estimator.
Driver-reported
Driver reviews describe it, but we have not verified it first-party. Labeled in the profile, never in the estimator — an honest gap instead of an invented number.
Disputed
A source contradicts the platform's own statement. We surface the conflict instead of smoothing it over.
Funding and labeling
MoveKlar is free for drivers. If a partnership with a platform comes about (compensation per qualified signup), we label it. Sponsored rows carry the note "Ad" and don't change filter sorting. Details on How we're funded.
Editorial and compensation are separate: conditions don't change because a platform pays or doesn't. Platforms without a partnership remain fully listed.
Corrections
A statement is wrong or outdated? Write to contact@moveklar.de with a link to the source. We check within days, correct with a new date and publish the correction.
