✅ Courier Partners manage multiple drivers under one profile instead of separate onboarding for each.
✅ Admins control what payout info drivers see on every order.
✅ Overflow orders can route to Dispatch's independent driver network instead of going unfulfilled.
✅ Courier Partners can serve areas outside Dispatch's core markets within their own service radius.
✅ Solo drivers are usually better served as independent contractors; fleet owners get the most value from the Courier Partner Portal.
For years Dispatch has been the place for individual independent contractor drivers to see available orders in their area to grow their business. Now you can add fleet owners to that list with our Courier Partner Portal.
The Courier Partner Portal allows us to service areas across the country where customers have demand but aren't in Dispatch markets. But what makes this appealing to fleet owners rather than signing up as an independent contractor driver? Here are four reasons why it's beneficial.
As a Courier Admin, adding your drivers to your profile gives you control over the vehicles they have listed, their payment method, and the orders they take. Every driver's delivery activity and payout information is tracked in one place, instead of routing each driver's earnings through a separate onboarding process and EIN account.
In the past, if you were a fleet owner with your own drivers, we would make you and all of your drivers go through our onboarding process, and the only way to manage them was by having their earnings go to your EIN account. Not anymore. It's a tool that enables you to keep track of your drivers' delivery activity and payout information all in one place, making it simple to grow your business.
Yes. As an admin, you see all details about an order, while your driver only sees pickup and drop-off details, minus the payment. That means how you pay out your drivers, and what percentage of the payout they receive, is completely up to you.
One thing drivers have asked for is the ability to send their employee drivers orders without those drivers seeing all the payout info included within the order. That's now a reality with this tool.
Courier Partners can send overflow orders to DispatchOne to be completed by our network of independent contractor drivers. Clicking "Place Order with Dispatch" recreates the order exactly as a customer would place it, so overflow work still gets fulfilled without needing extra drivers on hand.
Do you have days where you don't have enough drivers to fulfill your orders? No problem. Rest assured your overflow orders are in good hands with our Dispatch Drivers.
Yes. Courier Partners set a service radius and receive orders within it, even in areas Dispatch doesn't otherwise cover. That means a driver in one of our markets can take orders while another driver takes orders outside of that market, opening up extra income opportunities that wouldn't otherwise be available.
The portal allows Dispatch to service customer locations not within our coverage areas. That's where the Courier Partner comes in: you tell us the radius you're willing to serve, and we'll send you orders within that service radius.
If you're the only one completing deliveries for your business, your best route is to sign up as an independent contractor. If you have more than one driver, becoming a Courier Partner will be more beneficial, from better driver management to sending your overflow orders through DispatchOne.
