With the Amazon Delivery Service Partner program, the company has recruited the talents of small-business owners across the country to achieve ever-faster delivery times. So, how does Amazon Delivery Service Partner work? As you might infer from the name, Amazon Delivery Service Partners are considered not merely as delivery drivers, but as full business partners.

Here’s how it works: Amazon provides the delivery vans—Ford Transit, Ram ProMaster, and Mercedes-Benz Sprinter models—and you provide the start-up capital. Then, you’ll hire and develop your own team and start delivering Amazon orders in your area.
