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.

If you enjoy driving, then Checker Transportation provides you with the opportunity to have a career as an independent professional driver.

There are many driving options. Why pick Checker Transportation over the others?

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 car to work making money
  • Insurance if you lease a vehicle from a third-party owner
  • Clients that need transportation 24/7
  • Latest technology available to match you to the client
  • Available bookings you are free to accept or not
  • Freedom to set your schedule and work zone in metro Detroit
  • Freedom to choose the owner you contract with for a car
  • Freedom to bring your own car 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.  (A small fee is charged by Checker on commercial account trips if you choose to accept them). You determine what you want to make. Typically, our drivers take home $500-$1000 per week after their lease payment, and more if they are driving their own car.

Checker Transportation is very selective and only allows participation by drivers that meet the following requirements:

  • Valid driver's license (operator) with no or low points

  • Operate simple applications on an Android Tablet device
