The gig economy has transformed how people work, and at Dispatch, we’ve built our on-demand delivery mobile app with one goal: to empower drivers to earn fair, predictable income on their terms.
As last-mile delivery surges in 2025, how we pay drivers has evolved to remain competitive, transparent, and driver-friendly. Below, we’ll take a closer look at what makes Dispatch the most highly sought-after gig driving app.
Transparent Pay
At Dispatch, payouts are clear and transparent, so drivers always know precisely what they’ll earn before accepting a delivery. Rates are based on route length, vehicle type (car, mid-sized, pickup, cargo van, or box truck), and speed of service, with all pay details displayed clearly in the app.
Drivers can also earn more through add-on services that go beyond basic delivery. These include:
- Inside Delivery – Delivery inside a building or residence.
- Pallet & Packaging Removal – Removing and disposing of packaging or unwanted material related to the delivery.
- Room of Choice – More specific inside delivery, allowing customers to request items be dropped off in a certain area.
- Dedicated Vehicle - Allows customers to pay more for drivers to focus solely on their delivery.
Each service pays extra, and the additional amount is shown upfront, so drivers can decide if the job works for them. This combination of transparent per-mile pay and clear bonus opportunities helps drivers maximize their earnings with confidence.
Fair Compensation for Inconveniences
We know that waiting time and unexpected cancellations can impact driver earnings. That’s why we pay for wait times (after 10–20 minutes, depending on vehicle type) and compensate drivers if a customer cancels mid-run.
Route interruptions like address changes, returns, tolls, or heavy lifts can be reported through our adjustment process, ensuring drivers are never penalized for circumstances beyond their control.
This transparent approach has become a major factor in driver satisfaction and a reason many choose Dispatch over competing gig driving apps.
Weekly Payouts
Drivers receive weekly direct deposits every Monday, and daily Instant Pay capabilities will be rolled out soon. The Dispatch Driver App includes a real-time earnings dashboard that breaks down per-mile rates, wait-time pay, bonuses, and adjustments. You’ll always know how much you’re earning, making budgeting and income planning simple.
Daytime Hours
One of the top reasons drivers join Dispatch is flexibility. Drivers can toggle online between 5:00 AM and 7:00 PM local time and choose jobs that fit their schedule. There are no required shifts, bidding wars, or passengers — just packages. Whether you want to pick up a few deliveries between other commitments or run high-volume delivery routes, Dispatch gives you full control.
Modern App Technology
Our on-demand delivery platform has evolved with smart order matching, offline job preview, and live chat support. We’ve built these tools to help drivers find the best jobs, avoid downtime, and maximize income. Our platform is designed for delivery professionals as much as part-time gig drivers, ensuring everyone gets the same transparent experience.
Additional Incentives & Bonuses
In addition to base pay, drivers can unlock referral bonuses, performance incentives, and opportunities to handle higher-paying deliveries using specialized vehicle features (like liftgates, pipe racks, or TWIC cards). For those looking to scale into a full-time delivery professional, Dispatch provides tools and support to make it sustainable.
In 2025, last-mile delivery is booming, and Dispatch is committed to ensuring drivers are paid fairly, transparently, and fast. Ready to start earning? Check out our list of openings and see how driving on your terms can work for you.
