It’s independent contract work. You can accept a decline jobs as you see fit, according to your schedule. Great way to travel around the region and sometimes further out into the country. I have met some unique, cool people doing this job.

 I have worked as the chase driver (hybrid vehicle highly recommended) where they give you $0.32/mile extra pay. As a hiker, expect to move mainly medium and large box trucks (up to 26-foot and 26,000 pounds without CDL). Sometimes you can move vans and cars. Chasing you make more money, but have longer driving hours, and need to be great at organizing and leading your driving team. You can at least use your own car and go the most straightforward routes with Google Maps or Waze.

With hiking, you can get decent pay with sometimes only relatively few hours of actual work and no wear and tear on your vehicle. Most trucks are governed at 65 or 75 MPH, so it’s hard to get nailed for a speeding violation on the highway. You do need to have a license plate, DOT tags, digital logbook (i.e. Motive Driver), and DOT medical card in case you get inspected at a weight station or pulled over for any reason. 

Only real downside is that there is not work everyday.  Like all gig work, there are busy periods and slow periods. That’s why I tell everyone I work with to sign up for as many gig apps they qualify for. With multiple sources of income available, it’s hard to not have work if you want it.

I got lied to about getting paid every day, They did take care of my airfare and hotel, which was pretty nice benefit, but I never received my money from working be very careful. The customer service at this company is no good. They know nothing. They help you all they do is jot down notes. Whenever somebody reaches out and he tried to respond they would never respond back. If you have a question and you ask your team members, they will know nothing. They will just say I don’t know what you call Draiver customer service. They will also say I don’t know. Many people were stranded on this trip. They will leave. You stranded at Ford company or anything and will not come get you if there’s a problem. You will be left stranded. You will have hard time getting your money. You will have to deal with a lot of attitudes and childish personalities. The drivers are all Buddy with the other people so if there is a problem, they will not look at your side. They made me go out of town with no money thinking I was getting Pay after I confirmed it on text message twice. I don’t think this is a safe job for anybody. Be very careful, always leave out extra money because they will leave you stranded and hungry. They only care about themselves.. I had to leave I had not got paid. How was I able to afford to stay alive and working at the same time if they don’t want to pay you

What is the best part of working at the company?
This allows you the opportunity for travel while ensuring that you are never stranded at the end of a job with no way home 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The job instructions are not always as clear as one would hope they would be.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Fellow colleagues are driven to complete runs as fast as possible so they are available to start the next run. 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Normally the day begins at a starting location selected by Draiver. Most runs are point a to point B, or point A to point B to point C, then back to point A. But the run always ends back at the start point. Runs vary greatly in both total distance and time commitment to complete a run

They don’t pay well per mile or hour if you were to calculate it per $/h or miles, favoritism within the area managers when selecting drivers for the next job. It’s a first come first served type of job so by the time you open up the app and click on the job it’s gone or the timer it has is 15 seconds before it lets you click “yes to accept” & by the time you look at the details of the job on some other driver’s app the countdown is at 4 seconds and they’re about to accept it so when you finally read everything and click accept it gives you an error code then it goes away. they claim to send trips in “blue” but I never get anything sent to me directly it’s always fighting with every other coworkers on the application’s job board to accept a trip the next day, if your lucky you can maybe get the most $300 a week if you try to work full time.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Best part is being paid to travel 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Most stressful part is feeling like draiver is working against you to get your job done and then trying to get the correct pay they agreed to. Not to mention support is only a middle man and you have no way to legitimately file a claim or complaint 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Feels like I'm fighting for a job that is supposed to be work when you want and leisurely 

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Wait around watching my phone hoping a trip that's worth doing comes out and when and if it does trying to get it before anyone else. Some days they don't come in at all

I'm looking for another job,you show up for work and start your job and then they CANCEL on you and don't  want to pay you. Breaking all the rules ,you pray  you make it home sometimes. LONG DAYS. You will be nickel and dimed about your pay, you have to watch them because they will try you on the money side.Favoriteism, snitches, racism.This is the type of company that you work if your between jobs. The only thing that I can say good about this job is you get paid every  week . 

P.s you have to screen shoot everything. It's  ALL ABOUT  there money..-oh yes it5 the 9.99 percent fee that your being charged as a contractor for me .Politics  on top of Politics if your not there flunky forget you,  pay doesn't  match your highway time.

Basically hiking vehicles. Work itself is decent and time goes by fairly quickly. But it seems that you need to get established to get enough text alerts to work steadily.  I would hear from co-workers about posted work that I got no notification for, seemingly throttling me. Draiver is based out of Kansas with no local management, so there really isn't a local chain of command or support, no supervisor to talk to re: job performance or expectations. It seems like the only input or performance evaluation is whether you get job texts or not. The structure likely "blows out" new hires early on because there isn't any real feedback from above. 

This company has helped me out of a financial jam on a couple of occasions. It can be dirty and physically demanding depending on the request or & the size of the vehicle your driving. The pay looks good at first but depending on traffic and weather conditions it could go bad real fast. For example, my last drive was supposed to take 3.5 hours and the pay was $58 flat rate. Well, because of traffic it took 6 hours and they don’t pay anything above the flat rate no matter how long it takes. Another bad point is you don’t know what size vehicle you’re picking up until you get there. 
I love that they make sure you get back whether ride share or chase driver.  They have never left me stranded. 
It’s good in a pinch but you can’t live off of it

The only good thing about Draiver is the ability to work when you want to. They insist on you calling support when there is a problem but their support is non existent. It is a answering service that can't do ANYTHING! They will leave you stranded on the road in the middle of the night and not even bat an eye. THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU! Everything about the company is a BIG dark secret. No viable place to go for help as the management and "powers at be" are kept secret, won't answer their phones or texts, and will only speak to you when they are in trouble and need you. You WILL be removed from platforms (driving teams) without even being told, let alone being told why. They ignore your messages asking why.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Draiver is a good gig to work. I enjoy being able to accept or decline offers based on my availability and not having it count against me when I don’t accept.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
It’s a pretty straightforward job. Not stressful at all.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
You work alone or with other drivers as a team. I haven’t had any bad experiences with anyone I have worked with.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Meet up with other drivers. Go to pickup location. Deliver vehicle and hop a ride back to the pickup spot.
