Dispatch

Dispatch is a business-to-business (B2B) delivery platform that connects independent courier drivers with commercial suppliers. Unlike consumer delivery apps like DoorDash, Dispatch focuses on transporting industrial goods such as paint, HVAC parts, auto parts, and electrical supplies. This means drivers are delivering to job sites and businesses rather than residential homes, often during standard business hours.

The platform is ideal for owners of cargo vans, box trucks, and SUVs who want to monetize their vehicle's cargo capacity. Because the deliveries are commercial, the pay rates are generally higher and the interactions are more professional than consumer food delivery. Dispatch operates in dozens of major US cities and offers a legitimate gig opportunity for those seeking daytime driving work.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. specific vehicle requirements?

Dispatch accepts a wide range of vehicles, but there is a high demand for Cargo Vans, Box Trucks, and High-Roof Sprinter vans. While you can sign up with a sedan or SUV, your earning potential and job availability will be significantly lower than drivers with large capacity vehicles.

2. How much can I earn?

Earnings vary significantly by market and vehicle type, but cargo van and truck drivers can earn between $75 and $175 per order depending on distance and weight. Dispatch states that top drivers can earn over $1,000 per week, but this requires consistent availability.

3. specific background check?

Yes, all drivers must pass a comprehensive background check and a motor vehicle record (MVR) screening. This ensures that drivers have a clean driving history and no disqualifying criminal offenses, which is a requirement for their commercial insurance policy.

4. How do I get paid?

Dispatch processes payments through Stripe, and funds are distributed to your bank account weekly. Alternatively, you can use the Stripe Instant Payout feature to access your earnings daily for a small processing fee.

5. Is this only on-demand work?

While many jobs are on-demand "hot shot" deliveries, Dispatch also offers routed work for drivers who want a predictable schedule. Routed work involves a set list of stops for a specific client every day, providing more income stability.
