Drive with CaravanGo

CaravanGo drivers are independent contractors who deliver food and groceries for restaurants and stores on the platform — including, today, our own businesses in Cincinnati.

You stay in charge of your work

  • You choose when to work — your own availability switch turns offers on and off. There are no assigned shifts.
  • Every delivery arrives as an offer: the business, the distance and the pay are shown up front, and you may decline any offer without penalty.
  • You may work for anyone else as well — including other delivery platforms.
  • You drive your own car, choose your own route, and wear no mandatory uniform.
  • Deliveries can be grouped: up to two restaurant orders, or three grocery orders, on one trip pay the full longer leg plus 60% of each added leg.

Pay — per delivery, never hourly

Every delivery pays $6, plus $1 for each mile driven — and customer tips go to the driver in full: 100%. What you earn is settled by Samarkand Store Inc, doing business as CaravanGo — the company you contract with.

Every delivery is written to your earnings ledger automatically — no counting by hand. At year end, drivers receive their official income form pack from the platform.

Screening — the platform standard

Applying takes minutes: your details, driver license and car insurance. CaravanGo then runs its own background check and driving-record check, with your written consent — a check from another platform does not transfer. A person reviews the results and makes the final decision. The system tracks license and insurance expiry dates, and offers pause while a document is expired.

Handled with care

Orders travel sealed, in an insulated bag, kept at the right temperature the whole way. Your location is shared only while you are available and on an active delivery. Alcohol is never delivered.

Every order is photographed at pickup and again at the customer’s door — the platform records the place and time of each photo, and the delivery can only be completed once the door photo is taken.

Delivery fees and distances — in the open

What a customer pays for delivery depends only on distance: $2.99 plus $0.60 per mile — menu prices are never raised to hide a delivery charge. Delivery is free on orders of $200 or more within 25 miles, and on orders of $300 or more between 25 and 40 miles. Between 40 and 45 miles, please call us at (513) 740-0004 so we can check by phone; beyond 45 miles we cannot deliver. Alcohol is never delivered. A photo is taken when your order is picked up and again at your door, so delivery is confirmed with proof — and the order is only marked delivered once the door photo exists.
