Readers: Please note the comments from delivery drivers who have worked for Senvoy in the past. Positive feedback from customers is attributable to the hard work of their drivers. Fortunately, I never pursued an ""independent contractor"" job with them, after meeting with them to learn how it works: \r
\r
1. Drivers are ""independent contractors,"" not employees, and therefore, ""this is not an interview."" \r
\r
2. Drivers are paid per delivery, on-call and routine routes; and drivers must ""invoice"" the company using a tracking software program provided by the company. \r
\r
3. Drivers average about $100 per 9-hour shift, gross - before auto and fuel expenses. A top driver can make an average of $150 per 9-hour shift (but this is before gas and auto maintenance expenses - so even then, what? $11/hr. tops!\r
\r
4. ""Independent contractor"" drivers must pay an ""association"" fee to cover the company's expenses in managing drivers (from the commissions drivers earn). \r
\r
5. The company handles tax deduction and payments to the IRS on behalf of their ""independent contractor"" drivers; and there is no option to waive this ""service.""\r
\r
6. Drivers who fail to submit ""their invoice"" within a 3-day window of time every 15-day cycle ARE NOT PAID FOR DELIVERIES (even though the company is the one tracking everything on their proprietary software).\r
\r
For all the people working for Senvoy, or Zoan Management or whichever one of their corporate entities you may choose, it gets a lot better when you leave! I could smell it a mile away!
