help Roadie FAQ

Who owns Roadie now?

UPS acquired Roadie in 2021 to expand its same-day delivery network and compete in the gig-economy logistics space. Roadie continues to operate under its own brand as part of UPS's broader delivery portfolio.

How does Roadie's pricing work compared to UPS or FedEx?

Roadie uses dynamic pricing based on distance, package size, and delivery urgency rather than standardized rate charts. For shorter regional routes, it can be significantly cheaper than traditional freight because drivers are often already traveling in that direction.

Roadie handles everything from small envelopes to oversized items like furniture and building materials that traditional carriers may reject. The platform partners with major retailers including Home Depot and Tractor Supply Co. for last-mile delivery.

How much do Roadie drivers typically earn per delivery?

Earnings vary widely based on distance and item type, with local gigs often paying between $8 and $50 and longer routes paying more. Drivers are independent contractors responsible for their own fuel and vehicle costs.
