Drive with Yaku

Deliver in your neighborhood. Get paid for the whole shift.

Yaku drivers are hourly employees, not gig contractors. Pick the shifts that fit your week and get paid for every minute of them. You’ll need a car.

Join the driver list

We hire neighborhood by neighborhood. Tell us where you are and we’ll reach out when there’s a spot near you.

Joining the list isn’t an application or an offer. Read the driver policies.

On gig apps the clock stops between orders. At Yaku every minute of your shift is paid time, including waiting for the next one.

Claim the shifts you want in the app. No minimum weekly hours and nothing expected of you off the clock.

Shifts are tied to a neighborhood, so you deliver on streets you know instead of chasing orders across town.

Paid sick and safe time that builds from your first day, and paid 10-minute rest breaks.

Every mile you drive on shift is reimbursed at the IRS standard rate, 76¢/mile today.

Am I a contractor?

No. Yaku drivers are hourly, nonexempt employees. You get a W-2, overtime, paid sick time and paid breaks.

Do I need a car?

Yes. Every Yaku driver delivers by car, so you’ll need regular use of one.

What about insurance?

You’ll need a valid license and insurance that covers delivery use. We confirm coverage with you before your first shift.

When do I get paid?

On a regular payday, through payroll. Your written offer confirms the schedule.
