This blog was submitted by Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner program.
Amazon’s Delivery Service Partner program empowers entrepreneurs to build their own small businesses delivering Amazon packages in their local communities. Delivery Service Partners (DSPs) and their drivers are an integral part of what Amazon refers to as the last mile – transporting packages from their delivery stations to their customer’s front door. In Calgary, Amazon is looking individuals who are interested in starting their own business in partnership with Amazon.
DSPs generally grow to have between 40-100 employees and a fleet of delivery vehicles (which Amazon assists with leasing), ensuring packages get delivered safely and on-time. Since launching the program in 2018, Amazon has empowered more than 800 small business owners across North America, who have provided jobs for more than 75,000 drivers.
Like many small businesses, operating a DSP business is challenging. In fact, because of these challenges, Amazon is constantly looking for leaders–who will bring drive, leadership skills, hustle, and accountability. Amazon has got logistics figured out – what you can bring to the table is really the people aspect; interacting, hiring, training, engaging, and bringing them along as safe and effective drivers.
