Independent contractor delivery platforms connect businesses with individuals who use their own vehicles to fulfill delivery requests. A prominent example involves a system where individuals can sign up to use their personal cars to transport packages for a major online retailer, providing on-demand delivery services.
These platforms address the increasing consumer demand for rapid delivery, offering flexibility and potential income opportunities for drivers. The rise of such models reflects broader shifts in the gig economy and the evolving logistics landscape, enabling businesses to scale their delivery operations without the overhead of maintaining a dedicated fleet and workforce.
