FAQ
Amazon has partnered with local Delivery Service Partners (DSPs), independent delivery organizations that help Amazon deliver thousands of packages to customers every day. DSP delivery drivers are employed by individual DSPs (not Amazon).
Amazon began rolling out its electric delivery vans in the summer of 2022 and now has more than 20,000 across the U.S.
Amazon delivery truck drivers are actually employed by Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) and not by Amazon itself. A DSP is an independent business that partners with Amazon to deliver packages; they hire, train, and manage their own teams of drivers.
Unlike traditional delivery personnel who might be directly employed by a company, Amazon drivers are often independent contractors. This distinction means that Amazon may not always be held liable for any accidents their drivers cause while on duty.
You need to be at least 21 years old to become a delivery partner. Have a valid U.S. driver's license. Ensure you have a valid U.S. driver's license and a Social Security Number. Have a mid-sized or larger vehicle and insurance.
4,400+ DSPs have with Amazon across 20 countries, creating 390,000+ jobs and delivering over a billion packages to customers around the world.
Amazon uses a mix of drivers and contractors for its delivery operations. Amazon Flex is a program where independent contractors deliver packages for Amazon using their own vehicles.
In addition to over 70,000 motor vehicles, Amazon has 15,000 electric transport vehicles (with a pledge to have 100,000 by 2030). Amazon Air uses a fleet of over 110 aircraft. 95,000 employees work in Amazon's network of 80 sorting centers.
