About Capital City Mobility

Capital City Mobility is a local last-mile delivery company operating on the GoFo delivery platform in the Detroit metro area. We handle small parcel routes generated through the GoFo network and focus on organized, fixed routes – not food delivery or rideshare – so drivers know what to expect each day.

We are hiring 1099 Independent Delivery Drivers across Detroit and nearby areas: Southfield, Dearborn, Warren, Livonia, Redford, Oak Park, and surrounding suburbs.

Position: Independent Delivery Driver (1099)

Platform: Routes are generated through the GoFo network

Service area: Detroit and surrounding metro cities (no out-of-town travel)

Apply at:

What you’ll do

  • Pick up pre-sorted small packages from our Detroit-area hub.
  • Run a pre-planned route in a compact delivery area (no bouncing all over the state).
  • Safely deliver packages to homes and businesses using a mobile app for navigation and proof of delivery.
  • Communicate with dispatch if you run into issues on the route.

How pay works (fixed routes, not per package)

We use fixed route pay so you always know what a route pays before you start. Each route has an approximate number of stops and a flat rate:

  • Starter route: about 40 stops – $60 flat
  • Lite route: about 80 stops – $120 flat
  • Core route: about 110 stops – $170 flat
  • Max route: about 140 stops – up to ~$220 flat (when available)

Most new drivers start on a Starter or Lite route , then move up as they prove they can run clean routes and show up consistently.

This is per-route pay , not instant or “same-day” pay. Earnings are based on the routes you complete and are paid on a regular payout schedule.

Bonus program (consistency + retention)

In addition to route pay, we track a per-stop bonus bank for each driver:

  • New drivers (0–6 months): $0.05 per completed stop , paid out every 60 days if you meet attendance and quality standards.
  • Established drivers (6+ months): $0.10 per completed stop , paid out every 30 days.

This bonus is designed to reward consistency and also act as a buffer if a justified claim happens , so one bad day doesn’t wipe out a whole paycheck. Clean drivers see regular bonuses; drivers with repeated issues won’t.

Schedule & flexibility

  • 1099 contractor role – you are self-employed, not a W-2 employee.
  • You tell us your available days , and we offer routes on those days.
  • Routes are built to stay in one zone / one general area , not multiple far-apart cities.
  • Good fit for drivers who want steady, repeatable routes instead of random on-demand gigs.

Vehicle & requirements

  • Reliable personal vehicle (sedan, hatchback, small SUV, or similar).
  • Valid driver’s license and active auto insurance.
  • Smartphone capable of running delivery/routing apps.
  • Able to comfortably lift and carry up to 30 lbs (most packages are much lighter).

Who this is a good fit for

  • Current or former gig drivers (DoorDash, Uber, Instacart, Amazon Flex, etc.) who want more predictable routes and pay .
  • Drivers in Detroit, Southfield, Dearborn, Warren, Livonia, and nearby suburbs who prefer working close to home .
  • People who like structured work, being on time, and keeping issues/claims low.
