What if I need a ride to get to the truck?
RELAY provides a free ride service for you to get to and from the truck so you don’t have to worry about it. Simply Request a Ride directly from the app after you’ve accepted a RELAY move.
What if I’ve had accidents and tickets, can I still sign up for RELAY?
Yes you can, but to become active on RELAY’s platform, you’re application will be submitted for review if you have any of the following:
- Excessive speeding, involving any single offense for any speed of 15 m.p.h. or more above the
speed limit. - Reckless driving, as defined by state or local law or regulation, including but not limited to the offense of driving a motor vehicle in willful or wanton disregard for the safety of persons or property.

- Preventable accidents involving a fatality, bodily injuries treated away from the scene, or disabling damage to a motor vehicle within three years. (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.)
- Less than three (3) years CDL experience in the operation of tractor/trailer equipment.
- Must be a minimum of 23 years old.
How do I get paid?
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.
When do I get paid?
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 via direct deposit with the option to get paid instantly same day whenever you want.
