Frequently Asked Questions
How should delivery drivers be paid?
Per-delivery rates reward speed; hourly guarantees provide stability; the common hybrid pays the greater of the two. US delivery drivers typically earn $16–25/hour equivalent all-in.
What does a driver cost beyond wages?
Employees add 12–20% payroll burden plus workers comp. Contractor (1099) models shift vehicle costs to drivers but carry misclassification risk — control over routes and schedules is the legal test.
How do I keep good drivers without overpaying?
Dense, well-planned routes (more completed stops = more per-stop pay), predictable schedules, fast reimbursement, and tenure bumps. Driver turnover costs $2,000–5,000 per replacement in hiring and training.
