About DriverLine
DriverLine was founded in 2025 to solve a real operational problem: auto parts stores and dealerships need reliable delivery drivers, but managing them in-house is expensive, complicated, and risky. We built a better way.
Leadership Built on Real Operations
Chris Piston — President & Founder
DriverLine is led by Chris Piston, a veteran of automotive parts operations with over 15 years of hands-on leadership across district management, sales, and distribution center operations. His experience spans route design, shuttle operations, and operational oversight within major automotive aftermarket distribution networks. DriverLine was built from that real-world playbook — how parts stores and DCs actually run, and what it takes to keep deliveries moving reliably.
Remove the Burden of Driver Operations
Managing delivery drivers pulls focus away from what auto parts stores and dealerships do best: serving customers and moving inventory. The hiring, the compliance paperwork, the scheduling headaches, the liability exposure, the vehicle costs. It adds up fast.
DriverLine exists to take that entire burden off your plate. We provide vetted, insured drivers who show up ready to work, backed by systems designed for reliability. You get consistent delivery coverage with predictable costs. We handle the rest.
How We Think About Driver Operations
We built DriverLine around a few core beliefs about what delivery operations should look like.
Reliability Over Everything
When a driver doesn't show up, your customers notice. Our fleet lead system and backup coverage exist specifically to prevent coverage gaps. Problems get handled before they reach you.
Proper Compliance Matters
Independent contractor classification isn't optional. Our compliance systems handle IC management, background and MVR checks, and insurance verification. The paperwork is done right.
Predictable Costs Beat Cheap Costs
Surprise expenses from vehicle breakdowns, accidents, or turnover hurt more than a slightly higher predictable rate. Our model removes those variables from your operation.
Flexibility Without Chaos
Your delivery needs change. New locations, seasonal volume, market shifts. We scale coverage up or down as needed without locking you into rigid contracts or leaving you understaffed.
End-to-End Driver Operations
DriverLine handles the full scope of delivery driver operations for your locations.
Driver Sourcing & Vetting
We recruit, screen, and onboard qualified drivers. Background checks, MVR verification, and insurance requirements handled before any driver touches your routes.
Route Design & Setup
We evaluate your delivery patterns, design efficient routes, and handle onsite implementation. Routes built around your actual operation, not generic templates.
Compliance Management
Proper IC classification, required insurance verification, local compliance documentation. We maintain the paperwork so you don't have to.
Daily Operations
We manage day-to-day driver operations. Scheduling, issue resolution, performance monitoring, and communication. You focus on your business.
Backup Coverage
Fleet leads and contingency drivers handle callouts and failures. When something goes wrong with a driver, coverage continues without scrambling on your end.
Scalable Coverage
Add coverage at new locations or reduce at existing ones as your business needs change. Our model adapts to your operation, not the other way around.
Proper Coverage. Reduced Exposure.
Delivery operations carry real risk. Our insurance structure and compliance approach protect both your business and ours.
Driver Insurance Requirements
Every DriverLine driver carries required occupational hazard insurance and commercial liability coverage. We verify coverage before assignment and monitor ongoing compliance.
DriverLine Corporate Coverage
DriverLine maintains Hired and Non-Owned Auto insurance coverage. This provides an additional layer of protection beyond individual driver policies.
Background & MVR Screening
All drivers undergo thorough background checks and motor vehicle record verification. Drivers with problematic histories don't make it onto your routes.
IC Compliance Management
Proper independent contractor classification matters. Our structured compliance processes ensure documentation and classification are handled correctly from day one.
