From Spring 2025 YOVOY will create a better deal for self-employed commercial drivers and new drivers seeking ways to earn through driving on a full-time, part-time or gig basis.
Driving parcels for a living isn’t always easy!
As a self-employed commercial driver you have the freedom to earn for yourself and manage your own hours – but there a definitely a few downsides. Existing courier apps and driving job marketplaces are useful but it takes a lot of time and effort searching for the right job to bid on – and being underbid on ideal routes is seriously annoying. Even when you do get a job, you know you’ll shell out quite a bit of cash to fuel up for it. That’s cash you may not see back from the marketplace for quite some time. To cap it all, drivers are often seen as a commodity – often undervalued, and frequently underpaid for the time, effort and fuel it takes.
YOVOY will give you a better way to find work that’s worth driving.
A better same day deal for commercial drivers
Through the YOVOY mobile app, drivers will be able to set up searches that meet their specific needs, so that the app can deliver relevant, available new same day delivery jobs on a continuous basis. You will see some jobs where the sender has set a Fixed Price and others which are Open Bid – so you can apply for what exactly suits you.
Now you can escape exorbitant driver marketplace annual subscription charges, too. YOVOY’s monthly membership fee is deliberately set low – only around 10% of the cost of filling the average transit van fuel tank* and then you will pay a clear 5% charge on the final price for the jobs you are awarded and accept. And, with payment guaranteed within 7 days of the Proof of Delivery being received, you will no longer be funding everyone else’s businesses for a month or more at the expense of your own. Which, let’s face it, is a pretty dodgy deal for drivers.
*obviously, fuel prices can change!
Now, build a real same day delivery business
YOVOY is built from the ground up to be more equitable and respectful of the drivers that are the lifeblood of the same day delivery business. With our faster payment model based on Proof of Delivery that you can capture directly into the mobile app, you will be able to plan your cashflow better.
You’ll gain a personal Driver Business Dashboard to help you track your weekly earnings, earnings per mile, miles driven and jobs completed. So you can set your own business goals, monitor your earnings, and keep an eye on how this tracks against things like your vehicle mileage and wear and tear. We’ll even make sure that your ability to earn isn’t interrupted by an out of date insurance certificate or licence with handy renewal reminders.
