WE FIND
THE RIDES.
YOU DRIVE
THEM.
no marketing. no chasing riders.
Vessel dispatches confirmed ride requests straight to you — so you can focus on driving, not finding passengers.
WHAT VESSEL
DOES FOR
YOU
You drive. We handle everything it takes to get a rider in your seat.
Finding riders takes more time than the ride itself.
Vessel is the only dispatch service built for local drivers — sending you confirmed ride requests so you can stay focused on the road, not the phone.
“I built this because drivers deserve a steady stream of work, not a second job hunting for it.”
— Kyle, Founder
You have a vehicle and time to drive. But finding consistent riders means hours of calls, texts, and word-of-mouth — before you've even left the driveway. That's not driving. That's unpaid marketing work.
Vessel takes that off your plate. When a rider in your area needs a lift, we contact you directly with the details — pickup time, location, destination, and your estimated earnings. You accept or pass. No pressure, no back-and-forth.
Riders pay you directly after the trip — cash or check. Vessel invoices you a small flat connection fee per completed ride. That's the whole model. Simple, transparent, and built to put more money in your pocket without the overhead.
Whether you drive a car, a minivan, or a 15-passenger van — there are riders in Northern Indiana who need what you have. Vessel connects you to them.
a confirmed ride — straight to your phone.
HOW IT
WORKS
Three steps. No app. No scheduling headaches. Just drive.
Step 01
A rider calls or texts Vessel
They give us their pickup time, location, destination, and party size. We handle the intake — you never deal with the back-and-forth of scheduling a stranger.
Step 02
You get a text with the trip details
We send you the full picture — when, where, how many riders, and what you'll earn. Reply to accept. First driver to confirm gets the ride. No bidding, no apps.
Step 03
Drive it. Collect. Done.
The rider pays you directly — cash or check after the trip. Vessel invoices you a flat $4 connection fee per completed ride at the end of the month. That's it.
The problem: Local drivers spend too much time finding riders and not enough time earning. The solution: Vessel does the dispatch work for you. The result: More trips, less effort, and a steady source of income on your schedule.
WHAT IT
COSTS YOU
One flat fee. Paid only when a ride completes. No risk, no subscription.
