Routes

  • Apps must tell you route details before you accept a delivery. Details must include pickup address, estimated time and distance, tip, and pay.
  • You can set an app to limit which bridges or tunnels you use and the distance between a restaurant and a customer. Apps can’t offer you trips beyond the limits you set.

No Retaliation

It is illegal to penalize workers for exercising their rights. Contact DCWP immediately about suspected retaliation.
