In this Driver Spotlight, we introduce you to UDM, a Miami-based driver who is well known on YouTube in the gig-driving community. In his videos, he demonstrates one of our core values: transparency. He educates independent contractors honestly about what they can expect when working with ours and other gig-driving apps. Read on to learn why he recommends driving with Dispatch!

## **How did you hear about Dispatch?**  
Another driver within my delivery family community on [YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/udmdelivers) reached out to me and told me to check it out because he heard great things.

## **How long have you been driving with Dispatch?**  
I have been driving with Dispatch for about three months (I think).

## **What kind of vehicle do you drive?**  
I drive a Honda Civic Sedan.

## **Why did you decide that Dispatch was the best job fit for you and your lifestyle?**  
I love being independent and Dispatch gives me the flexibility to do so while making really good money compared to other apps that are out there.

## **Tell us your favorite Dispatch story!**  
Once upon a time, I assigned an order to myself that had a $27 payout. When I arrived at the delivery location (on time), the delivery contact wasn’t available so I had to take the parcel back to the pickup and was paid for my total miles. That $27 payout turned into a $47 payout which definitely put a smile on my face.

## **Why should other people drive with Dispatch?**  
Dispatch can work great as supplemental income or even full-time income. If you need just a few extra dollars per week or you would like to make a living while driving, then Dispatch is for you.

## **What’s your favorite thing about being able to set your own hours?**  
I have young kids and emergencies tend to pop up from time to time. Since they are a priority in my life, it’s great to not have the pressure of working a set schedule.

## **If you could give any advice to other drivers at Dispatch, what would it be?**  
Keep up with your vehicle maintenance and always keep a full tank of gas.

## **Tell us anything else you'd like us to know!**  
[Dispatch is great](/content/drivers/index.html)! They do their best to not take on too many drivers so the competition for assigning orders is significantly better compared to other apps.
