Why is Availability Important?
When companies search for drivers on Road Ninja, they look at:
Your license type and experience.
Preferred driving locations and hourly rate.
Your availability.
By keeping your availability updated, you:
Appear in search results for jobs that match your schedule.
Avoid being contacted for jobs you can’t take.
Show companies when you’re ready to work, whether that’s right now or in the future.
This helps companies find drivers faster—and ensures you only receive job offers that work for you.
When to Update Your Availability
Here are some situations where updating your availability is a must:
You’re actively looking for work and ready to take jobs now.
You want extra shifts to fit alongside your current role.
You’re planning for a specific time period, like holidays.
You’re exploring new job opportunities but aren’t available immediately.
Your availability settings control the job requests you receive, so keeping them updated saves you time and ensures you stay visible to companies.
