With the increase of Amazon home deliveries comes the increase of amateur delivery drivers.
What are the requirements to becoming an Amazon Flex driver?
- 19 years old
- Valid Canadian drivers license
- Have a mid-sized or large vehicle
- Smartphone
- Pass a background check
The issue is the average driver does not have the same training and knowledge of safe driving while delivering packages. Many of us have seen the product of this issue – erratic driver to ensure meeting drop of deadlines, stopping on the side of the roads for pick ups and drop offs, and often thrown and damaged packages.
If you are driving behind a vehicle that appears to be an Amazon Flex driver, please drive carefully. There will likely be frequent and sudden stops while the drivers are trying to properly find addresses and drop off packages.
Amazon Flex delivery drivers are expected to have their own car insurance policy that acknowledges that their vehicle will be used for delivery purposes.
If you or a loved one have been in a collision with an Amazon Flex driver, you may be entitled to receive the benefits you deserve. Contact us at JEWELL RADIMISIS JORGE LL.P and a member of our team will be happy to assist you.
