Full Job Description

Checker Transportation is a Detroit-based taxi, limousine, school, and non-emergency medical transportation company. 


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.

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. Typically our drivers take home $500-$1500 per week after their lease payment, and more if they are driving their own car.

Checker Transportation only allows participation by drivers that meet the following requirements:

  • Neat, clean, professional appearance
  • Courteous, effective face-to-face and direct communication skills
  • Operate simple applications on an Android Tablet device
  • Must have a good driving record (at your cost of $11, required)
  • 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.
