Full Job Description

Checker Transportation is a Detroit-based taxi, limousine, school, and non-emergency medical transportation company. We are autonomous, innovative, and data-driven, and our goal is to be Detroiters' First Choice for Punctual, Safe, and Reliable Transportation. Checker Cab provides dispatching services to our books and dispatches trips to independent contractor drivers for seamless operations. The drivers own or operate third-party leases of their leased or owned vehicles.

Our work environment includes:

  • International workforce
  • Casual work attire
  • Flexible working hours

Are you looking for a career change? Need to make more money? Need a flexible schedule? Become an Independent Contractor Professional Driver.

Checker Transportation is a local company providing professional transportation to area residents and businesses. There are many driving options out there, but only a few can offer you the ability to make driving a career.

If you enjoy driving, then Checker Transportation provides you with the opportunity to have a career as an independent professional driver.

There are many driving options. Why pick Checker Transportation over the others?

We Provide All The Tools You Need To Be Successful:

  • Driver Orientation Program
  • Option to lease a late-model vehicle from third-party owners
  • Option to put your own car to work making money
  • Insurance if you lease a vehicle from a third-party owner
  • Clients that need transportation 24/7
  • The latest technology available to match you to the client
  • Available bookings you are free to accept or not
  • Freedom to set your own schedule and work zone in metro Detroit
  • Freedom to choose the owner you contract with for a car
  • Freedom to bring your own vehicle if you wish to earn even more!
  • Many other transportation companies let you receive just a small percentage of the fare. At Checker, all cash and credit/debit fares from individual passengers, whether dispatched or flagged on the street, are yours to keep 100%! Checker does not take a percentage at all.

At Checker Transportation, you pay a set lease to the car owner for everything except fuel, and you keep all the revenue from private party fares. (A small fee is charged by Checker on commercial account trips if you choose to accept them). You determine what you want to make. Typically our drivers take home $500-$1000 per week after their lease payment, and more if they are driving their own car.

Checker Transportation is very selective and only allows participation by drivers that meet the following requirements:

  • Have or obtain before starting a Chauffeurs license
  • Neat, clean, professional appearance
  • Courteous, effective face-to-face and direct communication skills
  • Operate simple applications on an Android Tablet device
  • Minimum five years of driving experience
  • Must have a good driving record (at your cost of $11, required)
  • Must past drug screen (at your cost $14, optional with conditions)
  • Must pass a criminal background check (at your cost of $50, required)

What are some key ingredients to know if I should further explore this independent contractor opportunity?

  • You will be your own boss, not Checker's or car owner's employee
  • You should know your way around the city
  • You should want to provide excellent customer service
  • You want to control your time, cash flow, expenses, and taxes
  • You accept responsibility for receiving 1099 tax reports and file your own taxes
  • You want to be responsible for your own health care or insurance
  • You want a business to business relationship, not a paycheck job
  • Give us a call or email if you want to learn more about driving as a career.
