FAQs

  • Our drivers drive vehicles of varying sizes from compact to large cars, vans, and more. What’s important is that it is clean and reliable.

    During the application process, we will review the type of vehicle you have to determine if we anticipate any issues with your ability to complete deliveries.

  • Unlike other delivery services, we don’t require our drivers to accept a minimum number of deliveries to continue being a driver. You have the flexibility to say “Yes” or “No” to the routes we offer you. Since we offer routes based on your preferences, you might find that you never say “No”!

  • As part of our onboarding process, you’ll share with us your preferences for delivery locations. Based on this, we’ll offer you routes that meet the criteria you shared with us.

  • Submit your application by clicking on the Apply Now button below.
