Assigned or picked-up package totals do not determine final compensation.
ROUTE COMPENSATION GUIDE
Payout Tiers
Payout Tiers
by Market
Review gross route compensation based on verified delivered-package volume. Each market maintains package ranges designed around local routing density, delivery conditions, and operational requirements.
HOW THE FINAL TIER IS DETERMINED
Verified Deliveries Set the Payout
01
Complete the assigned route and all required delivery records.
02
Confirm the total number of successfully delivered packages.
03
Match the verified delivered count to the correct market tier.
Package ranges must be matched to the market where the route was completed.
Higher tiers generally require organized teams and lead-driver coordination.
Completion, scans, photos, returns, invoices, and claims may be reviewed.
ROUTE EVALUATION

Compliance Review
Required scans, proof-of-delivery photos, returns, and route instructions are checked.
Claims Review
Open customer claims, missing packages, misdeliveries, or service exceptions may affect processing.
Invoice Review
The invoice must show the correct date, delivered count, market, and matching tier value.
Gross compensation only.
Published amounts do not account for fuel,
insurance, labor, vehicle expenses, tolls,
taxes, or other independent contractor
operating costs.
WHY CNS USES TIERS
Designed to Help Protect Driver Compensation
The last-mile delivery industry has changed the way many contracts compensate multi-package stops. CNS Delivers has structured its payout tiers to help reduce the impact of those changes on drivers.
01
INDUSTRY COMPENSATION CHANGE
Additional Packages to the Same Location May Pay Less
Under many current contract structures, the first package delivered to a location may receive the primary delivery value while additional packages delivered to that same location are compensated at a reduced rate.
02
CNS DRIVER COMPENSATION
CNS Continues to Recognize Total Delivered Volume
CNS Delivers does not directly pass the reduced same-location package structure on to drivers. Instead, our tiers continue to recognize the total number of successfully delivered packages when determining gross route compensation.
03
BUILT-IN FLEXIBILITY
Tier Ranges Help Absorb Normal Delivery Exceptions
Tier ranges are designed to provide reasonable protection when a small number of packages cannot be completed for legitimate delivery reasons such as a closed business, gated property, or documented lack of access.
The goal of the CNS tier structure is simple:
Maintain competitive driver compensation without directly passing every underlying contract reduction on to the driver, while providing reasonable flexibility for normal documented delivery exceptions.
Final compensation is based on verified successfully delivered packages and remains subject to route completion, required documentation, claims, returns, and applicable contract requirements.
