Thinking about leasing onto Data GB Trucking for Amazon Relay? Here’s exactly what you need — no surprises.

The non-negotiables

  1. CDL (front and back)
  2. Medical Examiner’s Certificate (Medical Card)
  3. Driving record / MVR
  4. Truck registration
  5. Proof of insurance (remember: insurance is paid by the driver in our lease program)

  • 10% flat commission to Data GB on your settlements
  • Insurance paid by you, the driver

What if my record isn’t perfect? Be honest on the application. Minor violations don’t automatically disqualify you; major ones might. We’ll tell you straight.
