RBV: Make sure with your car insurance company what coverage you need exactly to work as a delivery driver, especially if you are using your own vehicle. Keep track of mileage, keep gas and car maintenance receipts, and keep track of your time on the road delivering vs. your time in the store. Another important thing is make sure that you fill out any forms yourself at the end of each shift if required, don’t allow anyone else to do this for you. Keep accurate records too.
