Setting the radius settings in app will enable you to see any available jobs within a certain distance of your current position.

• Log in to DeliveryApp
• Click ‘Account’
• Select ‘My Locations Preferences’
• Input your desired ‘Pick Up Radius’ and ‘Delivery Radius’ in miles (the bigger the radius, the more job notifications you’ll receive)
• Click ‘Save Preferences’ button

 

 

Set Up Your Device
