Driver Resources

Everything you need to drive with TradeDash.

Review application requirements, vehicle and insurance standards, delivery procedures, safety expectations, and common driver questions.

Driver Eligibility

What you’ll need before you can accept deliveries.

TradeDash reviews each application before a driver is approved to access delivery opportunities.

Identity information

Your legal name, date of birth, residential address, phone number, and other information required to verify your identity.

Valid driver’s licence

A current licence appropriate for the vehicle you intend to use for TradeDash deliveries.

Eligible vehicle

Your vehicle must be registered, roadworthy, appropriate for the delivery, and approved through TradeDash.

Appropriate insurance

You must maintain insurance that satisfies TradeDash requirements and is appropriate for paid delivery activity.

Driving-record review

TradeDash may require driving-history information or authorization to review your driving record.

Background screening

Identity or background screening may be required as part of the driver approval process.

Vehicle Eligibility

The right vehicle depends on the materials.

TradeDash delivery opportunities may be limited based on the capacity and type of your approved vehicle.

Car

Best suited for smaller boxed materials, hardware, tools, fittings, electrical parts, plumbing parts, and similar orders.

SUV

Suitable for small-to-medium orders requiring additional enclosed cargo space.

Pickup truck

Suitable for larger or longer materials when they can be transported and secured safely.

Van or cargo van

Suitable for larger enclosed loads, boxed materials, tools, and equipment.

Drivers should only accept delivery opportunities that can be transported safely and legally using their approved vehicle.

Vehicle Insurance

Personal insurance alone may not be enough.

Drivers are responsible for maintaining insurance that is appropriate for the delivery activity they perform. TradeDash may require proof that your insurer or broker permits the vehicle to be used for paid delivery or courier work.

Simply uploading a standard proof-of-insurance card may not be sufficient if the policy does not permit commercial or delivery use.

Policy information

Insurer, policy number, effective dates, and expiry date.

Delivery-use confirmation

TradeDash may require confirmation that paid delivery activity is permitted.

Current documentation

Expired or invalid insurance documentation may temporarily prevent access to deliveries.

Driver Documents

Keep your driver and vehicle information current.

Required documentation must remain valid while your TradeDash driver account is active.

Driver’s licence

Front and back images and licence expiry information.

Vehicle registration

Registration showing the vehicle used for TradeDash deliveries.

Insurance

Current proof of insurance and any additional delivery-use documentation required.

Driver abstract

Other required records

Additional eligibility, insurance, or worker-status documentation may be requested.

Completing a Delivery

From accepting an opportunity to completing the handoff.

01

Review the opportunity

Review the available trip information, materials, distance, vehicle requirements, and estimated earnings.

02

Arrive at the supplier

Follow the pickup instructions and identify the TradeDash order at the approved supplier location.

03

Confirm the order

Confirm that the materials correspond with the assigned delivery before leaving the supplier.

04

Complete the delivery

Safety

Never accept a load you cannot safely transport.

Construction products can be heavy, long, sharp, fragile, awkward, or difficult to secure. Drivers are expected to use good judgement and follow all applicable road, loading, and cargo-security requirements.

Respect vehicle limits

Do not exceed your vehicle’s legal or manufacturer-rated payload capacity.

Secure materials properly

Loads must be transported safely and secured appropriately before departure.

Report unsafe conditions

Do not proceed with a pickup or delivery if the load or circumstances cannot be handled safely.

Report problems promptly

Use TradeDash support if an order is damaged, incomplete, unsafe, inaccessible, or cannot be delivered.

Delivery Availability

You choose when you’re available.

Approved drivers can make themselves available for delivery opportunities when they want to drive. Availability does not guarantee that a delivery opportunity will be offered.

Opportunity alerts

Eligible drivers may receive notifications when nearby deliveries become available.

Review earnings

Review applicable earnings information before deciding whether to accept.

Choose whether to accept

You are not required to accept every available delivery opportunity.
