Frequently Asked Questions

Why do delivery drivers need a safety checklist?

Delivery drivers face unique risks: frequent stops in unfamiliar areas, carrying valuables, working alone, and driving long hours. A checklist helps address these risks systematically.

What vehicle checks should I do before a shift?

Check tire pressure and condition, all lights and signals, mirrors, brakes, and fuel level. Also ensure your phone is charged and you have a car charger for the shift.

How can I stay safer during deliveries?

Park in well-lit, visible areas. Lock your vehicle at every stop. Trust your instincts — if a delivery location feels unsafe, contact your dispatcher or skip the delivery.

Download ImAlive to set up automatic check-ins during your shift. If you don't respond, your emergency contacts are notified — extra safety for every delivery.

What should I do if I feel unsafe at a delivery location?

Trust your instincts. If a delivery location feels threatening, do not approach the door. Return to your vehicle, lock the doors, and contact your dispatcher or the customer by phone. Many delivery platforms allow you to mark a location as unsafe. Never put a package delivery ahead of your personal safety.
