Dropoff

What is the best part of working at the company?
Pros - make your own schedule if you don't run a predetermined route.   Free to take a break during the day if needed.  They prefer very dependable drivers. You're an independent contractor and get the write-offs.
Supervisors were great


What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Cons - As with any IC's there a lot write offs.  i.e. you're completely responsible for your vehicle expenses.  And they are extensive. Vehicle depreciation, gas, tires, maintenance, phone, if you have wreck etc...
Training - you get one day and after that it's learn as you go.  
Some routes are long and pay nothing after you figure in expenses however there are some deliveries that are short and pay great.
To gross $50k a year you're going to drive 10 hours a day.   Estimate 50k to 100k in mileage. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Very Good.  Supervisors are always in touch and listen to your thoughts.  

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Driving and delivering making sure you're very careful following the rules of delivering blood samples etc

you 5 minutes before a route starts that you’ll be running it even though they’ve known days ahead of time or you’ll hear it from the warehouse employees first, they lie to you when you first start and tell you that you can start tracking your miles from home and then switch up a few months in and say they never said that so you’ll eventually end up getting a smaller mileage reimbursement which has been a problem with many employee, the managers come and show face once every 3 months or so and feel like they know how the whole operation is ran and they really have no idea since they aren’t there to see it on a day to day basis, oh and lunch?? You better get used to taking it while you run your route because you run a load each hour throughout your whole shift so they expect you to take lunch in between that time, then if you sit and eat your lunch while you’ve been dispatched they’ll call you and ask why you haven’t ran that load, in the beginning it was all very simple but towards the end the managers made it hard, loved the people at the warehouse I was dispatched at though, great people!


This is a great job for someone that cannot get $20/hr any other way. The problem is it is not a job so it's short term only. You can't use this income to rent an apartment or buy a car. So if you just need a job immediately, this is the best out there. I've done Amazon Flex and Uber but neither compare. 
Warning: Do not get involved in the obvious rip offs in the courier industry. They are here, too. You might get a morning of downtown trips for only $30 or you might go to Beaumont for the morning for $190. If you complain, it gets worse. If you make any stink at all, you're deactivated. Shut up and take what you can get or do something else. Dispatch has been there since the Houston office has opened and he's an arrogant jerk. Management loves him and you will not win. You will just be fired.

Dropoff is a fantastic company and super flexible when it comes to hours. You make your own schedule and work with a great team of dispatchers. They are understanding about asking for time off. Compensation is based on the value of the delivery. Drivers make 50%  commission on the value of each delivery. Some deliveries are $12 some are $50. You might make $6 on one delivery and $25 on the next one. 

The only drawbacks -
1.) Lots of wear and tear on your car
2.) No guarantee of $ earned per week - you might make $300 one week and $800 the next working the same hours. It all depends on volume requested and how far your delivery takes you. 
3.) You are a contractor
4.) No benefits or paid time off

Well if you are looking for a part time job with a lot of flexibility this is for you. Don't expect to work full time here as a driver. Commission payouts with minimum gurantee per week. But commission will be eaten up for slow weeks. There are no benefits here. You drive your own car and pay for your own gas. You are a 1099 employee. Meaning you are an independent contractor. But at the end of the day you do have a boss who does expect you to show up on the days you are scheduled. However it is flexible and if you need a day off it isn't too frowned upon like other formal jobs. You will drive about 100 - 200 miles at this job. A lot of wear and tear on your car so take caution.

This is a courier position. I picked up items and delivered them. You drive your own car and you're out of pocket for EVERYTHING. You get paid a commission for each order you fulfill.
I learned that I am just a number for this company.
Management can be understanding, however, communication is not their strong suit.
There is nothing hard about this job unless you have something really heavy to pickup.
I really enjoyed the independence. You can make your own hours and accept or decline any order offered to you.



Started with Dropoff after leaving Boomerang. Dispatch and company app were helpful. Work was not worth driving 20 miles to a bakery and deliver one cake for $9. Too many "dead" miles--zero pay between deliveries. After all the math I made about 75 cents per mile. 

Found a better paying courier job delivering sandwiches. Not an Uber Eats type, rather a small business hiring drivers. I make about $1.50 per mile. If you want flexible schedule  stick with Dropoff. For better pay and consistent work find a pharmacy, small company  or restaurant to deliver.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexibility work on your own time schedule. Weekly settlements. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Building the team concept is difficult because all aspects of the job is not transparent 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
All aspects of the duties are not transparent 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Waiting for work when you are available knowing nothing is guaranteed but will happen at some point.

This job is good for someone who needs extra cash and doesn’t rely on this job for bills. I started getting paid a set rate per drop off and it eventually lowered the more clients the company got. Made zero sense. It’s a lot of driving and wear and tear on your own personal vehicle. You don’t get paid mileage. I use to be able to work certain hours but they’ll push you for more and more. Sometimes it was so slow I would get one order a day. It wouldn’t even cover the gas I’d put.

This is fantastic for anyone looking to make a difference and make good income. There’s flexibility here. It is very important to me to be able to have time for my family as well as be able to support them. This allows me to do that.
