25% female employees

40% employee growth in 12 months

Our take

AxleHires couriers ensure packages from brands such as HelloFresh, Ikea, Walmart, and more reach their final destinations. The company focuses on last-mile delivery, the final bridge between a customer and their package, and employs drivers directly from its website.

Taking a similar approach to Uber, AxleHire enables couriers to work independently with flexible hours and efficient routes. This can be highly attractive to anyone looking for work and is part of what made Uber so successful.

AxleHire uses a proprietary technology platform that enables efficiency and meticulous transparency for the customer to track packages. The company has grown to operate in 17 of the 25 major US metro urban areas, and is well set to see continued growth as it further expands across the country.
