Whether you're seeking a full-time income or a side hustle, Amazon's delivery programs provide the flexibility you need.
Why Drive for Amazon?
Amazon's delivery network is vast, offering flexible opportunities through:
- Amazon Flex: This program allows independent contractors to deliver packages using their own vehicle. You pick up "blocks" of time that fit your schedule, from a few hours to a full day, and earn competitive rates. It's perfect for those who value ultimate flexibility.
- Delivery Service Partners (DSPs): These are independent companies that partner with Amazon to deliver packages. DSPs hire full-time and part-time employees, providing a more structured work environment with company vehicles and benefits.
Key Benefits:
- Ultimate Flexibility (Amazon Flex): Work when you want, for as long as you want. Perfect for fitting around other commitments.
- Competitive Earnings: Both Flex and DSP roles offer attractive pay rates. Flex drivers can often earn $18-$25 per hour (or more, depending on location and demand).
- Be Your Own Boss (Amazon Flex): Enjoy the independence of managing your own deliveries and schedule.
- Reliable Work: With Amazon's massive volume of packages, there's consistent demand for drivers.
