## What is Relay On Demand?

RELAY is an app that matches Carriers and Drivers. With RELAY you can get a Truck Driver On Demand for any move less than 150 miles. As a carrier, you can instantly get a driver to fill your empty truck seat or back fill your driver who ran out of HOS with just a few clicks. Drivers can use RELAY to work when and how often they want. A new way to use your CDL OnDemand.

Drivers… You now have a better way to work and earn big money using your CDL. Enjoy the freedom and flexibility to work when and how often you like. When you’re ready to work, simply log in and accept an available Relay Move that fits your schedule. Use RELAY to pick up extra work on the side whenever you want or make RELAY your main gig. Either way, you can opt to get paid as soon as the next day!

With RELAY, there are no price negotiations or haggling. Drivers and Carriers both see the pay and cost upfront and can decide to do the Relay Move or not. Simple, fair, and efficient.

HOW IT WORKS

Carriers:
You can download the app, sign up, and get a pre-qualified, safe, and professional driver within minutes. All drivers must pass RELAY’s background, assessments, and training so you can be assured the truck drivers through RELAY are the best of the best.

Drivers:
Before you can start using the app you’ll need to sign up and create a profile. Once you are approved and authorized by RELAY you’ll be able to access our exclusive Relay moves and accept them through the app.

### 1/5 — Not professional misleading

*2026-06-27, version 1.1.69*

Dissapointed and a waste of time. Just a few small carriers hard to understand what they say . Rediculous low rates and misleading information. Dont waste your time.

### 5/5 — Keep pushing

*2026-06-20, version 1.1.69*

### 5/5 — Truck Driver David

*2026-06-03, version 1.1.69*

Good App for finding work in the south east area

### 2/5 — Instant pay is bs

*2026-03-30, version 1.1.68*

Every time I request instant payment it never comes through and no one says anything about it until I send email and then I keep being told my card is closed and or my account is closed even though I just used the card and continue to use it after I receive the message the bad part about this is they charge you 3.15 % for instant payment yet I never get it

### 5/5 — GREAT PLATFORM

*2026-03-06, version 1.1.67*

GREAT APP GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE WHO SEEK FREEDOM AND SETTING YOUR OWN SCHEDULE. GREAT COMMUNITY TO INTERACT WITH FELLOW DRIVERS .. VERY STRONG COMMUNITY INSIDE. I LOVE IT.. GOOD MONEY AS WELL .

### 4/5 — RELAY is Good

*2026-02-20, version 1.1.67*

The core idea behind the Relay On-Demand app is letting drivers choose exactly when they want to work.
It is genuinely a great concept and sets it apart from others. 
 I’ve completed over 50 Relays so far and have never had a single issue with any of the companies (at least not serious.) Everything on that side is usually smooth and reliable.
That said, I gave it 4 stars because the app itself can be a bit glitchy at times (occasional bugs), and it would really benefit from some improvements. 
Overall, solid concept with dependable partners and a decent platform.

### 4/5 — Relay greatness

*2026-02-01, version 1.1.67*

Relay is a great way to work the hours you want to work, and for the pay you feel you should earn

### 1/5 — SCAM

*2026-01-02, version 1.1.66*

Both app and truck companies running scams. Poor equipment and I did not get paid for 14hrs of driving yet paid 100 to drive on the app. Contacting FMCSA and Georgia Board.

### 5/5 — Def worth it

*2025-10-04, version 1.1.65*

On my second week and I’m definitely not going back to being a regular driver. I was in OTR driver for a year and four months and the money I make now here with relay on demand as a regional driver is definitely better hands-down.
