3 Unique Advantages of Ally for Drivers

Working as an independent delivery driver can be an incredibly lucrative way to make money without the hassle of a full-time job. Delivery driving is often extremely flexible, allowing drivers to set their own hours and pick and choose which days to work.

However, for many delivery drivers, numerous frustrations arise when accepting work from a third-party platform. High commissions, a lack of transparency around orders, and poor customer service can all contribute to rapid burnout for drivers simply looking to earn a living.

This is where Ally is transforming the delivery process. Through Ally’s driver-focused mobile application, Service Ally, drivers can connect directly to the source of orders: businesses and their customers. With Ally, there are no gatekeeping middlemen charging high commissions on orders. And, unlike most delivery platforms, Ally is simply there to act as a payment processor — allowing for the quick transfer of funds from the customer to the driver.

With numerous reasons to join the Ally driver network, take a look at the top three advantages of Ally for drivers.

1. Keep 100% of Delivery Fees and Tips

The majority of delivery platforms on the market charge drivers anywhere from 20–40% of what should be straight earnings by way of commissions. Not only that, but the delivery apps usually pocket the built-in delivery fees and will often retain a portion of drivers’ tips.

This has caused an incredible amount of frustration for drivers — and rightly so! Drivers are already responsible for paying for their own gas, upkeep their vehicle, and maintaining insurance and registration.

Tacking on extra fees and taking away hard-earned tips is not only unfair, but it can make it difficult for drivers to earn a living.

With Ally, drivers keep 100% of delivery fees and tips. Not only that, but Ally does not charge drivers a commission. Instead, drivers only pay one flat rate per month for the use of the platform. And, drivers only pay this flat rate fee during months when they earn more than $1,000.

Top Benefits of Keeping Every Penny

It is easy to see why drivers prefer to work via a platform that allows them to keep their tips and doesn’t charge a range of hidden fees. The following are all benefits of saying goodbye to the commissions of old:

• Control earnings: Because delivery drivers are not direct employees of a singular business, they should have the ability to work as much or as little as they wish. The only driving factor should be how much they wish to earn. When drivers get to keep their delivery fees and tips, they can better control how much they are earning and determine their workload accordingly.
• Be rewarded for superior customer service: If a driver goes above and beyond and provides quality customer service, customers often take note and say thank you through a larger tip. With Ally, drivers get to keep that tip, which is an incentive to continue to provide superior services. When a third-party app pockets that tip, it is hard to be motivated to go above and beyond.
• Invest in the right equipment: With the money saved by using Ally, drivers can reinvest in their own business. This might mean scheduling much-needed car repairs or purchasing equipment to make delivering food easier.
