Have you ever thought of joining Designated Drivers of Alaska?  The first thing you need to answer is why you would want to join.  If it’s just for the money and a steady income this probably isn’t the right place for you.  If it’s to help the community and make a little extra side cash then keep reading.

Since we charge such a ridiculously low fee to provide our DD service, there simply isn’t a  ton of cash to go around.  If, however, you believe this is a service that is beneficial to Anchorage and you still want to be a part of it in exchange for minimal compensation, then this might be for you.

You know the concept:  A two-driver team meets the impaired customer at their vehicle, Driver #1 operates the customer’s car with the customer as a passenger, Driver #2 follows in a chase car to pick up Driver #1.  Our drivers are all Independent Contractors, and they use their own personal vehicles as chase cars.  As a contractor, there is no salary, no hourly pay and no stand-by pay.  Your payment is based on fees collected, with a small percentage going to Designated Drivers of Alaska to help cover our operating and advertising expenses.  Any gratuities paid by grateful customers are split 50/50 between drivers.  Pretty simple math, just keep in mind that there are no guarantees there will be business on any given evening.
