Frequently Asked Questions
Delivery contractors operate as independent businesses delivering parcels, food or freight, typically under contract to a network or platform. Unlike employees, contractors supply their own vehicle, manage their ABN and insurances, and are paid per delivery or run completed.
You need a suitable vehicle, a current licence, an Australian Business Number and appropriate insurances including public liability and vehicle cover. Some networks require background checks, and larger contracts may need a van rather than a passenger car.
Earnings vary with contract terms, route density and hours worked, with owner drivers running dedicated routes for major networks typically earning more than casual platform work. Deduct fuel, vehicle costs, insurance and platform fees to understand your true net income.
Contractors run their own business, funding their vehicle and expenses in exchange for typically higher gross earnings and flexibility. Employed drivers receive a company vehicle, wages, leave and superannuation with less commercial risk. Compare total value, not just headline rates.
Contractors can grow into multi-vehicle operations, subcontracting other drivers and building genuine logistics businesses. Reliable contractors often earn priority access to premium routes and contracts, while some transition into network coordination or fleet management roles. Strong safety records and customer feedback support access to premium contracts.
We acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the land where we work and live. We pay our respects to Elders past, present and emerging and celebrate the stories, culture and traditions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Elders of all communities who also work and live on this land.
