Payout tiers are determined by successfully delivered packages, not merely assigned volume.

WHY CNS USES TIERS
01
02
03
Designed to Help Protect Driver Compensation
As last-mile delivery contracts evolve, additional packages delivered to the same address may receive reduced compensation. CNS maintains a tier-based structure that recognizes total successfully delivered package volume rather than directly passing every underlying contract reduction to drivers.
Total Package Recognition
All successfully delivered packages count toward the applicable payout tier.
Delivery Flexibility
Tier ranges provide some flexibility for properly documented delivery exceptions.
Operational Accountability
Reliable completion, accurate delivery records, and prompt returns help protect compensation opportunities.

GUNTERSVILLE • EXCLUSIVE PERFORMANCE INCENTIVES
Go Beyond Your Base Payout
Drivers operating in the Guntersville, Alabama delivery market have the opportunity to earn additional performance incentives on top of their standard route compensation. These incentives reward route completion, delivery accuracy, and consistent reliability.
ROUTE COMPLETION
✓
$10
/ qualifying route
Complete Your Route
To qualify for the $10 Route Completion Incentive, drivers must complete their assigned route with no more than two undelivered package. Every assigned package must be accounted for: either successfully delivered to the customer or physically returned to the warehouse and officially scanned as returned.
Routes with two or more undelivered packages, or any package missing, unaccounted for, or not properly returned, will not qualify for this incentive.
IMPORTANT: Any package that is neither successfully delivered nor verified as returned to the warehouse may result in a claim, which could affect the driver's earnings regardless of incentive eligibility.
PERFECT POD
★
$5
/ qualifying route
Perfect Proof of Delivery
To qualify for the $5 Perfect POD Incentive, drivers must submit three clear, high-quality photographs for every successfully delivered package:
1. Package Label: A clear, readable photograph showing the shipping label and tracking information.
2. Delivery Address: A clear photograph showing the correct delivery address or visible property number.
3. Drop-Off Area: A wide-angle photograph showing the package and its surrounding delivery location. Close-up photographs showing only the package on the ground are NOT acceptable.
All three photographs must be properly framed, clearly visible, and verifiable. All required package scans and delivery documentation must also be completed correctly.
IMPORTANT: Missing, blurry, obstructed, incomplete, or unverifiable photographs will disqualify the entire route from receiving the $5 incentive. These requirements are mandatory to help prevent delivery disputes and claims.
WEEKLY RELIABILITY
◆
$20
/ qualifying week
Be a Driver CNS Can Count On
To qualify for the $20 Weekly Reliability Incentive, drivers must successfully complete a minimum of 5 assigned routes across 5 separate days within the same workweek.
Drivers must honor all confirmed route commitments, arrive on time, and complete their assigned routes without preventable no-shows, late arrivals, or dropped routes.
IMPORTANT: Completing fewer than 5 qualifying workdays does not qualify for this incentive, regardless of attendance or performance. All completed routes are subject to delivery verification and compliance review.
