The arrangement

A 1099 contractor role, built to be straightforward.

You drive your own qualified vehicle for the whole trip and get paid for the routes you run — with weekly pay you can count on.

01

1099 contractor

You drive as an independent contractor, not an employee — you stay in control of your own schedule and taxes.

02

Your own qualified vehicle

You use your own qualified car for the full trip, start to finish. We help make sure it meets the standard before your first route.

03

Paid per trip

Earnings are tied to the trips you run — clear, predictable pay for every route you complete.

04

Weekly direct deposit

Your earnings land in your account every week by direct deposit. No waiting, no chasing paperwork.
