Help Article | Top Driver Tips

As we gear up for this holiday season, we want to make sure that drivers hit the road with confidence and success! Check out the Tips below to ensure that you are prepared and safe during this winter season:

Top Tips for Driving during Winter:

• During the winter season, we expect an increase in our package volume, especially during peak days, which results in more routes for drivers to maximize their earnings opportunities! 💰

  • • • Expect some routes to be longer, giving you more total hours to earn 💵

      • And don't worry! We know the cubic feet of your vehicle’s interior and trunk, so we'll only be sure to add packages that we know we can fit inside of your car safely. 

      • 🚨 Never place packages in customer's mailboxes: we know peak is a busy time but make sure to follow the delivery instructions provided as placing packages in mailboxes is against the law and will not meet the criteria for a successful delivery 

• Be sure to log into the app every evening when routes are posted as they are sold on a first come first serve basis and quickly sell out! 

  • • Route start times in each market are available here 

    • Pro tip: Make sure you allow notifications from the Veho app in your phone settings to automatically get notified when routes post!

• You can take MORE THAN ONE ROUTE a day! Simply choose a 2nd route that has a start time AFTER your 1st route end time. If you have enough room in your car, you can even pick them up at the same time 

• With winter weather approaching, be sure to drive safely on the roads and place deliveries in a covered spot when possible to protect from damage ❄️

How to best prepare for Routes

• • • Don't forget to bring your drivers license for route pickup! All drivers are required to show their identification in order to receive their route packages.  

  • Make sure your vehicle is empty before picking up a route to ensure you have plenty of space to load packages 

  • Arrive to the warehouse no more than 15 minutes before your check-in time

  • Make sure to follow all marked signs to operate safely within the warehouse

  • Bring extra markers to help mark each package on your route before you hit the road! All drivers are required to scan all packages before they start the route to ensure that all correct packages are there

  • Make sure to bookmark the Driver Help Center for various FAQs on topics such as troubleshooting the Driver app and if you have issues delivering packages

How to reduce load times to get on the road & earning quicker:

• Optimize Cargo Space: Before loading, clear your cargo space and fold down seats to create ample room for all packages and efficiently load your route

• Number your packages: Use a dark-colored marker to assign the numbered stop to each package before loading to minimize search time during your route

• Strategize Package Placement: Prioritize efficiency by loading your later stops into your vehicle first, ensuring easier access to the packages for your early stops

• Safety First: Keep your car mirrors unobstructed for safe driving. If you drive a pickup truck, ensure that you have a hard cover
