Any active CDL holder can sign up to be a RELAY driver. However, before you can become available to carriers, you must pass a background check, meet driving record requirements, and complete a RELAY training program.

You earn money on an hourly basis with RELAY. This range changes based on the demand from carriers. The total of how much you can make is in your control and depends on how often you want to work.

No, you are never required to accept a RELAY. You always have the option to say no thanks.

Once a job request is complete, both you and the carrier confirm the completed job and rate each other. RELAY drivers are paid on a weekly basis. RELAY also offers next day pay through our 3rd party partner PayActiv so you can access your pay as soon as the day after you earn it.

You can choose to transfer funds to your bank account, payroll card, reloadable debit card, PayActiv Visa card or even access it as cash by walking into any Walmart 24/7/365.

Yes you can, but to become active on RELAY’s platform, you must meet the minimum guidelines below:

• First, you must have a valid Commercial Driver License in your state of residence. That means no current license suspension or revocation.
• No serious or disqualifying traffic violations within the last three years as follows:

1. Excessive speeding, involving any single offense for any speed of 15 m.p.h. or more above the
   speed limit.

3. Improper or erratic lane changes.
4. Following the vehicle ahead too closely.
5. Driving while intoxicated or under the influence of drugs.

(Disabling damage means damage that precludes departure of any motor vehicle from the scene of an accident in its usual manner in daylight after simple repairs. This includes damaged vehicles that are drivable, but would incur further damage, if so driven.)
• A minimum of three (3) years CDL experience in the operation of tractor/trailer equipment.
