Why you'll love driving for Starbird Delivery

We're a family-run Amazon Delivery Service Partner based right here at the DPS-6 station in Simi Valley. Since 2020, we've built one of the top-performing teams at our station — and we promote from within. Our dispatcher, on-road managers, and trainers all started where you'd start.

You won't be a number here. You'll be on a first-name basis with the owner.

A heads up on paperwork: before your first day on a route, you'll sign a few standard forms — offer letter, drug & alcohol policy acknowledgment, confidentiality agreement, and arbitration agreement (with class action waiver). These are industry-standard for DSP work. Take your time with them, ask questions, and keep your copies.
