Jitsu

Jitsu (formerly AxleHire) is a last-mile delivery provider that helps brands like HelloFresh and Nespresso deliver packages to customers. They utilize a gig workforce of drivers who use their own vehicles to complete routes. Unlike on-demand food apps, Jitsu routes are batched, meaning you pick up a full load of packages from a warehouse and deliver them in a dense route.

This model allows drivers to earn a predictable income for a few hours of work, often paying higher hourly rates than rideshare. Jitsu is a legitimate logistics partner operating in major US metropolitan areas, offering flexible shifts for drivers with sedans, SUVs, or vans.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. specific vehicle requirements?

You can use a sedan, SUV, or van. However, larger vehicles are preferred as they can fit more packages, allowing you to accept larger, higher-paying routes. The vehicle must be registered and insured.

2. How much does it pay?

Pay is per route, not per hour. Jitsu displays the estimated time and guaranteed pay for the route before you accept it. Drivers often report earnings between $20 and $30 per hour depending on their efficiency.

3. How do I get paid?

Jitsu pays drivers weekly on Fridays via direct deposit. They do not currently offer an instant cash-out feature, so you must plan your finances around the weekly schedule.

4. Do I have to scan IDs?

Some deliveries, particularly those involving alcohol (like wine club shipments), require ID verification upon delivery. You must scan the customer's ID using the Jitsu driver app.

Jitsu operates in major metro areas across the US including San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, and New York. Expansion is ongoing, so check their website for the latest locations.
