Pioneering the Future of Global E-Commerce Logistics

At Amazon, our mission is to be Earth's most customer-centric company, and our expansive delivery network makes that possible. The Amazon Flex program is at the forefront of the gig-economy revolution, empowering independent contractors to become vital logistical partners. We are actively seeking highly motivated, entrepreneurial individuals who want to dedicate their weekends to earning premium supplemental income. When you join the Amazon Flex ecosystem for weekend delivery, you are tapping into a technological powerhouse that provides absolute freedom. If you want a role that perfectly fits around your Monday-to-Friday life, allowing you to use your own vehicle to execute ultra-fast, same-day deliveries and grocery drop-offs on Saturdays and Sundays, the Amazon Flex program is the ultimate weekend driving opportunity.

About the Role: Total Independence on the Weekend

As an Amazon Weekend Flex Delivery Driver, you are your own boss. You operate as an independent contractor, utilizing your personal vehicle to deliver Amazon packages directly to customers strictly on your schedule. This is the epitome of flexible weekend earning. You are not assigned a rigid weekly roster; instead, you log into the highly sophisticated Amazon Flex app and reserve specific "delivery blocks" on Saturday mornings or Sunday afternoons. Your cargo could range from standard brown Amazon boxes to insulated bags of fresh groceries from Whole Foods. You dictate how much you work and how much you earn over the weekend. This role requires exceptional self-motivation, time management, and a commitment to delivering on the customer promise during our busiest shopping days.

A Day in the Life of a Weekend Flex Driver

Your Saturday begins entirely on your terms. You open the Amazon Flex app on your personal smartphone and browse available delivery blocks ranging from 2 to 5 hours. You select a 4-hour morning block that starts at a local Amazon delivery station. You drive your personal SUV to the station, where you scan a QR code on a rolling cart filled with packages, digitally transferring the inventory to your responsibility. You load your trunk, arranging the packages based on the app's optimized itinerary. Once you hit the road, the app provides seamless turn-by-turn navigation to residential homes and apartment complexes. You play your own music, set your own pace, and enjoy the weekend drive. Once your final package is delivered and the app registers your block as complete, your workday is instantly finished—you simply drive home, tracking your weekend earnings directly in the app.

Comprehensive and Detailed Responsibilities

• Strategic Weekend Scheduling: Actively manage your own weekend schedule by monitoring the Amazon Flex app for available delivery blocks on Saturdays and Sundays. You must demonstrate excellent punctuality by arriving at the pickup facility exactly at the start time.
• Personal Vehicle Logistics: Safely utilize your personal mid-sized sedan, SUV, or pickup truck to transport goods. You must systematically load and organize packages within your vehicle to ensure efficient retrieval at each stop.
• Digital Route Execution: Flawlessly execute deliveries using the advanced GPS routing provided within the Amazon Flex app. You must scan every package upon delivery and capture a high-quality confirmation photo.
• Independent Problem Solving: Handle on-the-road weekend challenges with extreme autonomy. Whether you encounter a closed road or an inaccessible apartment building, you must use the app's support features to complete the delivery safely.
• Safety & Professionalism: Maintain a high standard of driving safety and professional conduct. Even as an independent contractor, you are delivering under the Amazon brand banner and must treat every customer interaction with respect.

What Our Drivers Say: Real Employee Perspectives

The gig economy thrives on flexibility, and weekend Flex drivers constantly praise the absolute autonomy of the program. A verified weekend driver recently posted: "Driving for Amazon Flex on the weekends is hands-down the best side hustle out there. I work a stressful full-time job during the week, but I pick up a couple of 4-hour Flex blocks on Saturday and Sunday mornings to pay for my upcoming vacation. The app is incredibly user-friendly, the warehouse staff are quick to help you load, and the pay is completely transparent. You just load up your car, deliver the smiles, and watch the direct deposits hit your bank account. It's the ultimate financial freedom for the weekend."

Industry-Leading Total Rewards and Benefits

As an independent contractor, your rewards are focused on immediate, transparent financial gain and absolute lifestyle flexibility:

• Transparent, Premium Weekend Earnings: Know exactly what you will earn before you leave your house. Weekend delivery blocks often feature "surge pricing" due to high demand, massively increasing your hourly block payout.
• Rapid Payouts: Amazon Flex processes payments multiple times a week via direct deposit, ensuring you have rapid access to the cash you earn over the weekend.
• Ultimate Work-Life Harmony: You have 100% control over your schedule. Work zero hours one weekend if you are busy, and work 15 hours the next weekend when you need extra cash. There are no minimum hours required.
• Reward Programs: Gain access to the Amazon Flex Rewards program, which offers cash back on fuel purchases using the Amazon Flex debit card and preferred scheduling for highly rated drivers.

Basic Qualifications and Physical Requirements

• Must be strictly 21 years of age or older to participate in the Amazon Flex program.
• Must possess a valid, active US driver’s license and maintain personal auto insurance that meets state requirements.
• Must own a reliable, qualifying personal vehicle (mid-sized sedans, SUVs, and vans are typically required).
• Must own a modern smartphone (iPhone or Android) with a reliable cellular data plan and GPS capabilities.
• Physical ability to frequently lift, carry, and maneuver packages weighing up to 50 pounds from your vehicle to the customer's doorstep.
